hello. halfway into the video i just NEED to say that as a long time indian viewer of adam ragusea it makes me so happy to see long form desi creators i love this for you.

Thank you all! You can also watch my videos in Tamil here - www.youtube.com/@masalalabtamil

I’m so glad that you tell the truth about pasteurization. Having watched someone bleed out from a heart valve destroyed by brucellosis, and as someone who has studied medical history to some degree, I’m a big fan of pasteurization. I don’t want to ever watch someone die from a preventable disease.

The end note puts everything into context. I wish we are able to use our logic and sensibility while choosing what we eat. Afterall food is also about our choices until and unless we are making compromises on nutrition. Thank you for this video. Best wishes

Fortnight ago, youtube recommended me your video in my feed and I watched your more than 50percent of in the span of 2 hours. Loved your ideas and content about food❤. Thanks for providing a authentic information about food stuff and especially breaking huge myths too. Your knowledge is truly appreciable👏 man Love from Kashmir❤

these videos should never stop coming

Loved the long format video! Way more info than the insta shorts and your way of presenting that information is amazing!

The closing statement ...highlighting our journey from breast milk to the mily way...Too good 👍 👏👏. Also thanks for breaking the myth on the A1 and A2 milk types

One of the best long format videos Krish Ashok sir. I love how you break down these myths in a scientific way. A special thanks to you, for we need people like you in this age of fear mongering that is traveling at lightening speed thanks to social media. I see a lot of people falling prey to such fear mongering by naturopaths and Ayurveda people in the most literate state of Kerala, which is very unfortunate.

Love the long format videos. Very informative! Would love if you could also mention something about Grass fed vs grain fed milk. Thank you.

I cannot explain how easy this makes my life to just forward this video every time someone questions my milk consumption methods. It covers everything and more! Love the mythological references to the Milky Way. One with the Milky way galaxy 🌌 *becomes a force ghost and fades away*

For something so essential to our existence, we know so little of it and worse, we also have to filter through a lot of noise to get to it. Thank you for shining a light through food science.

Wow! Loved every part of the video. The ending particularly where you linked to galaxy is just amazing. You are master storyteller

Your words resonate deeply within me, touching not just my body but also my soul. Sending love from Puri, Jay Shree Jagannatha! 17:02

Few years back, I have seen people selling A2 milk at premium. And no one knows... what they are selling is A2 and how end consumer can test it. Excellent explanation @12:40. This video not just myths busted, myths are crushed with well research. Kudos Ashok!

Brilliant how you connected astronomy, philosophy and both ancient civilizations to bring home a deeply spiritual point of becoming one with the galaxy in the end!!

Really a master class in Milk science. I am consumer of skimmed milk and I used to buy tetra pack milk. But recently I started buying Skimmed milk powder and I am making my own milk at what ever time possible with out any worry. 😊 Also, may be in the next video, can you cover milk related products like paneer, cheese, whey, casin Cream, butter, ghee etc which have become ware more important in our life just like milk and there are so many myths around them. Anyways superb informatory video.

I love your perspectives! Though I admit a preference to non-homogenized milk for almost everything if I can get it. I find the texture more pleasant, even if I know there's no health issue.

Amazing insights, and good quality information on the most commonly consumed/available super food! Enjoyed it, and I will share it with folks. Kudos! 👍

Superb video - thoroughly researched, sticking to facts, science n timely busting a lot of dangerous social media myths!

One of the most complete analysis on Milk, Thanks Krish for putting out such high-quality content. You have broken lots of myth for me today.

Thank you, especially for explaining where milk in India comes from. Loved the closing thought. Would be nice if you can include data about the living conditions of the cows in these Indian farms.

Loved the video ❤ Thank you for putting science and sense. Love how you ended it philosophically too. It’s the perfect blend of facts and philosophy!

This is one of the finest ones from you krish ashok. Really love what you do on web.

A request: Please make a long format analytical video on water purification method also. Likr like RO, UV etc. Thanks❤

Very informative sir, Expecting a lot more of long form content . Got inspired by your videos and currently reading your book masalalab and Nutrition by Whitney and Sizer.

Amazing intro to the subject pulling us deep in to the depths of the milk related myths we have acquired and busting them with so much clarity and a fine ending to the story of milk. wishing you produce many more such videos

Thank you for your immensely enlightening videos. Thank you for shattering the social media created myths and frenzies. I would request you to cite the studies and sources of information in the description if possible so that interested people can do their own research also. Once again, thank you!

Your videos are legit the best food science videos on YT! Please never stop posting!

What a crisp scientific and cultural story on milk that we consume all around the globe from the time of agriculture invention. The content is greatly factful and useful. I appreciate your hard work on making these video's. And I adore your energetic speech with wonderful modal voice tones 😂🎉😊

What a brilliant video. Engaging from start to finish. That ending was truly goosebump-inducing.

Saw your Tweet about how 8-10 minute videos do well on KZfaq, which made me sad as I love long form content. So this makes me happy-hope you’ll be making more long form videos

By far the best you tube channel according to me. Thoroughly researched and very insightful content. Thanks a lot

I am one of the contributors to Christspriracy’s crowdfunding. I was fortunate to watch the invite only live screening for the contributors of the movie last week. The movie will be released in many countries on March 20 and 24th. The directors are getting lot of support from India too, and hopefully people across the country will get to watch it soon. Hope this myth of better animal agriculture practices in India is broken then.

Excellent video. Well-researched and well-presented. Thank you.

Thank you for this eye opening video. I have thought all my life that the reason for my early puberty is because I consumed packaged milk and broiler chicken.

Tetrapack milk has made my life easier. I can’t make curd from it but tea and coffee,milkshake everything taste so good. I can use it directly to make white sauce pasta. No heating ,no running in the morning to buy milk.

In the USA, Costco's A2 milk is much creamier, tastier and wholesome than the regular whole milk in the same store 🤔 The closing sentences are wonderful!

You have covered some essential topics and dispelled milk myths propagated by some people on social media. The most important thing for us Indians is to understand that how we get our milk is drastically different from the West. There have been a lot of guilt-ridden youngsters who are misinformed about the supposed cruelty aspects of milk production. Yes, there are a few small dairies that have been using industrial methods of milk extraction, but if we buy from the co-operatives, there is a good chance that the cattle are in a farmer's home and actually taken good care of. Great job overall on this video!!

Krish , that was fine writing at the end of the video. Great work as usual. Your channel deserves to be subscribed :)

The ending is simply superb 👍 Through your videos i started looking food as " food " and eating it without any fear as i used to because of social media influence !! You really saved me and my family from unnecessaey myths and fears. Thanks to you Krish 🤜🤛

Is pesticide content in vegetables and fruits in India regulated as US and other countries? Do farmers use pesticides as excessively as the news says or shown in movies? I would love to have a detailed video about it. I wasn't able to find any useful sources from Google scholar.

The final words .....uffff...what a intresting stroytelling way to relate something so imp .

Still use of milk powder is too much processing. Prefer unhomogenized milk. Pasteurization is okay. But UHT seems too processed.

I see a wheel of time fan! Your videos have been amazing. I've been hooked. I've been watching folks like J Kenji Lopez, Ethan Chlebowski, etc. who do a good breakdown of the food science and it's nice to see someone doing it from the Indian food perspective.

Pls processed milk powder contains added sugar and maltodextrin

Hi Krish... Thanks for posting another wonderful video. Could you please give some more insight on whether the mostly available packed toned milks in the market are only cow milk or a mix of cow and buffalo milk? Is there a definite ratio of A1 and A2 protein found in Indian dairy milk?

Love the long format videos, kudos for the extensive research!

It resonated with me on a personal level because, back when I was dealing with constant sickness and a consistently low appetite, heading to the hostel for my studies surprisingly turned things around. It turned out that milk was the culprit-I couldn't digest it properly. It never occurred to me that milk, often considered a health staple, could be the source of my issues. Being a strict vegetarian, my body simply didn't agree with milk. It's fascinating how our bodies can have such unique reactions to different foods, and discovering these nuances can make a world of difference in our well-being.

I gifted your book to my Amma and ever since she has been a great fan. Being a chemistry graduate, your approach really resonated with her. Loved this video as well.

Your videos are so good and scientific , The way of story telling is amazing. Please keep posting more videos

Loved the format...with fun facts embedded beautifully

You did not discuss what happens male calves, as only females give milk and also about artificial insemination of cows to keep them producing milk even when they are pregnant. You need another video discussion and analyzing the mistreatment of animals just for human consumption,

Although not as bad as the West, dairy cows are grossly mistreated in India too. Practices like dehorning, branding, tying their mouths with ropes, etc., are simply essential for business. A simple rule of thumb when thinking about mistreatment of animals is whether we would accept it if a human was treated that way. Local farmers are way better than industrial farms but i wouldn't call their treatment of the cattle fair by any extent of the imagination. Our continued consumption of dairy products after coming face to face with the facts is only justifiable by speciesism

Very useful and informative video…thanks for bursting those myths like early puberty etc…Though am a doctor but it’s a fact that nutrition awareness among doctors is very low than the diseases we know… Thanks again for putting up this.. Would definitely recommend to my patients with facts and figures…Dr. Shruthi, Head and neck oncosurgeon..

Science mixed withvedanta, what an idea sir ji. 😊, you are working to dispel myths around food, as a post graduate in biochemistry i totally agree with you

Will you consider making a video on milk alternatives? I have recently started with almond milk since it lasts longer than regular milk from cows. I would be delighted to learn more about them

I just started watching your videos and I love them. For the longest time I had terrible acne and digestive issues. Once I found out that milk was the culprit it all went away surprisingly quickly.

This is my most favourite video of yours I've watched so far. And I've watched many. Incredibly complete and that endnote took me to another world. Simply wow!

I got goosebumps on that closing note. ❤

Fun fact! Salt is the only non living thing that humans consume ... I guess I'll have to revise this sentence a bit after this video and say.... Salt is the only substance that we consume which is not a life form or a derivative of a life form 😅

Great content thx o lot .it would be helpful if u can add how benefitial is bilona method of churning curds to get butter for making ghee.

Thank you for baking some sense into our thick skulls... ❤ Btw happy New year!

Thanks for breaking the myths surrounding milk. My doubt still persists.. If pasteurized milk can be had raw or not. I have seen in most places, the cold coffee and milk shakes are made by adding milk directly from packets

0:37 bee larve are crushed while extracting honey from the comb. Milking cow involves slight of cruelty, milk is produced by cow exclusively for her baby calf only little is fed to the and abruptly calf is pulled away and milking is done.

Excellent, I am happy Krish, put this great story and science of Milk. Most desi NRI's in USA blamed A1 milk for their gut problems. they also say only Indian cows make A2. Most tropical cows make A2 as you rightly say. EFSA commissioned a study and found that A1 or A2 have same properties and effect on human body. I will share with my friends. Thank you.

Love the long form content. Keep it coming!

Thanks. Very informative as always.In addition to intolerance wonder why peple have allergy to milk products. My daughter had a lot of allergies including Milk and egg and understood this is due to the particular protien present. There is a huge misconception between lactose intolerance and allergy to milk and dairy. many times when we tell our friend for safety reasons the response is “ohh she is lactose intolerant”. We do really hope she grows out of her allergies and enjoy the tasty products prepared from dairy products

Thank you for a wonderful, informative video. One question I have is, is unhomogenised milk better for making paneer at home or homogenised? It's difficult to find unhomogenised milk in Europe 😕

Your views and detailed logical, scientific analysis are par excellence. It's always fascinating to see your content. Do you also provide nutrition advise? Our 27 year old son has been struggling with kidney stones since 5 years now and needs some genuine help.

Amazing as always Krish! Appreciate your efforts in busting myths related to food!

Very well presented and informative. Thank you Krish.

Thank you for the info on A1 & A2 milk. I am an example of severe gut(gas & bloating) issues when I consume normal milk in the USA. Even yogurt, cheese, etc I have the same issues. But I have no problems if I consume A2 milk or A2 yogurt in the USA. Another interesting thing I noticed with my gut is I can consume any dairy in Europe and India. I go from size 34 to 36 pants within 30 minutes of consuming American normal dairy and I used to suffer for almost 2-3 days. However, taking probiotics supplements reduced the suffering to less than a day now. If I go to Trader Joe's and pick up frozen Pizza made in the USA, I suffer very badly. But, if I pick up frozen pizza Imported from Italy or France I have no issues. Fortunately, I got this problem only after I got into mid 40s. But now my daughter who is in her early 20s has the same problems.

This post from you was much needed, thank you for the information

Thank you so much Krish. You are making me break all my believes and I am loving it for the freedom that it brings in my everyday life and choices.

Thx a lot for all the relief you give for the every day food we have been consuming from ages but have gone scary with all those social media’s n influencers… Kudos 👍😊😊😊😊 Impressed with ur logics n scientific researches Warm regards 😊

I am impressed by how wholesome your videos are

Brilliant Analysis as always Krish Sir.... I have become a fan of your work

(134) Excellent dissertation, Mr. Krish!!! I tend to ignore "food bores" that slag off dairy products. OK, some people get digestives issues from them, so I get why the "alternative milks" would be a godsend for them. But just don't try to sell me a pup that my dairy consumption is turning me into a monster of some sort.

Very informative video. Do we need to heat the milk that we get from milk packets considering that it has already been pasteurised in the factory?

What a video! Woww! I too had forsaken tetra packs for some time and believed in the A1 A2 milk debate... thanks for clearing out. A fan always!😊

dude I love your tshirts collection especially that dosa written instead of nasa, can you recommend source please?

There are two forms of casein that are found in cow's milk -- they are called a1 and a2. I developed a sensitivity to A1, the primary protein in Holstein and some other modern breeds, in my 30s (half my life ago now). But when I was growing up, really, most of the milk in my community was from cows like Jerseys who mostly feed on grasses, and have lower per-cow quantities of more creamy (often 6%) milk. Surprise! Jerseys, unless they've had other breeds mixed, produce a2 milk. I can eat fermented forms of dairy (e.g. kefir, curd, some cheeses) because the process denatures the proteins somehow, I suppose. But fresh cheeses (paneer is hit or miss, possibly because of the origin of the milk?) have the same problems as drinking unfermented a1 milk, mostly. You don't need certified a2 milk if you know the milk is from cows that give a2 milk. For example, I can get "grassmilk" -- milk fed 100% on pasture. Well, most a1 breeds need grain to maintain their artificially high output. So Jersey milk or 100% grass-fed milk is ok for me. There are probably lots of people like me who thought they were lactose intolerant or had a basic casein allergy or something, that do not know that they can still drink the milk from our beloved cows. Buffalo, sheep, camel, goat, and human Milk is A2 only. So it is probably best to drink only a2 milks, since that is what we are "programmed" to digest from infancy. A1 milk was introduced from European wild cattle in order to "improve" output and feed conversion from grains, relatively recently. It is not a sort of milk we evolved to digest, over the thousands of years we've lived with dairy animals.

Thanks for the educational videos. Can you answer this, pls? 1. I’ve tried drinking the store bought ( which is pasteurized, organic, and grass fed cows in the US). That would just run thru my system within 5 mins after having it. That was true when I tried both A1 and A2 milk. That made me think my system has developed some kind of intolerance. Then I tired raw milk, and started consuming it after boiling it, the same way I’d use the milk from supermarket. This wasn’t a problem for me at all. Can you explain that?

Great video, Krish Ashok!! Would love to get a zoom in on the book pile in the background :)

Excellent detailed research and myth busting there. But "Galactose" was pure surprise. Thanks for all tge efforts to put out great content😇

Really enjoying your science and fact-based videos told in a compelled manner. Keep up the good work!

Nice video 💐 I buy expensive A2 Gir cow milk that is delivered in glass bottles at my doorstep ❤️ love the taste, and never feels heavy, gives enough malai to make Makhan also.. nowadays I only like my homemade butter with my breads..

Only one thing.. please 🙏 include chapters in your video. Your videos are very informative. It will be easy to navigate through all the contents

Very informative - myth buster - though would have liked to know the proportion of a1 and a2 protein on average in Indian milk - if there are any such studies done. Very creative and unique perspective in the concluding remarks! Loved it. Thanks anyway.

This was a great video @Krishashok. Thanks for putting so much info about milk in one video. Minor comment about food sources which does not need killing a seed/animal: Unfertilized eggs also fall in the same category as milk and honey. And it would be great if you could shed some light on how cows/buffalos manage to give more milk than needed by their calves for extended periods. That sounds very unnatural. I understand that it can happen because humans trick them in believing that their calf is drinking the milk and animals start lactating more than needed by their calves. But naturally no animal should produce more milk than their babies need for extended periods

That ending 🔥 the art of picking a nail with nail

Excellent video. Loaded with information. Thank you.

Sir what about the lactose intolerency in my state of madhya pradesh i didn't see it marked

Such an amazing explanation. Thank you very much.

End note awesome.. Got introduced to you through Dr. pal channel. U r awesome. Keep rocking. Indian society needs more like you.

Gave me lots of information to understand, Thank you!

Are you a new parent who's been told by doctors not to give milk to your kids? If so, I highly recommend watching this amazing video on milk that I recently came across. It provides insightful and collective information that's sure to be useful to you, especially if you're considering alternatives like coconut or almond milk. But be careful with social media, while it has its pros, it's a mixed bag when it comes to accurate and science-based information. So, make sure you're getting the right information from reliable sources.

Hi krishashok sir , can suggest some books to read

Excellent unpacking, my humble query, long ago l came across a story that the plastic packaging of the milk may have carcinogenic properties. l have been looking for milk in glass bottles from local farms ever since.
