Questions and answers
Is homogenized milk bad for your health?
During homogenization, milk is subjected to high pressure in order to standardize and disperse the fat globules in the milk. There are currently only a handful of studies on the potential health effects of homogenized milk. Based on existing studies, there is no correlation between homogenization and the onset of illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease or allergies. From a scientific point of view, there is little reason to believe that altering the fat particles in the milk could be detrimental to the health of the general population.
Are organic products healthier than conventional products?
No one is really sure whether or not organic products are healthier for us than conventional products. The Research Institute of Organic Agriculture's dossier on Sustainability and quality of organic food(2021) shows that organic food products usually contain better quality ingredients than conventional products. Investigations suggest that organic products contain a higher level of secondary metabolites or unsaturated fatty acids. However, organic products are no higher in vitamins and minerals. This is because these depend primarily on the cultivated variety, time of harvesting and environmental conditions.
Organic products also have less heavy metal contamination and fewer pesticide residues as well as less nitrate. This being said, conventionally grown produce is also subject to strict legal maximum levels for these substances.
Very gentle processing methods must also be used for Bud products, whereby the products should be as natural and undergo as little processing as possible. The use of additives in organic products is also strictly limited.
Of course, organic products are important for the health of our planet. By consuming organic products, we can make a significant contribution to sustainability and humane animal husbandry.
How healthy is coffee?
Coffee used to be considered unhealthy. Today, there is increasing scientific evidence that regular, moderate coffee consumption can have a positive impact on health.
People who regularly drink up to three cups of coffee are likely to reduce their risk ofcardiovascular disease. The oils contained in coffee may also have a positive effect on blood cholesterol levels. Furthermore, there are indications that regular coffee consumption can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitusandParkinson's disease.When it comes to cancer, regular coffee consumption may reduce the risk ofuterine, liver and breast cancer. Coffee should, however, be cooled to about 65 degrees Celsius before drinking, as drinks hotter than that can increase the risk of oesophageal cancer.Good to know: it's not true that coffee causes the body to lose fluid. In people who are accustomed to coffee, it actually contributes to fluid intake. Only in people who rarely drink coffee can it have a diuretic and therefore dehydrating effect.
