Some people believe that milk with lactose causes atrial fibrillation in them.
In fact, horror stories about arrhythmia or heart attack from lactose appeared 50 years ago. There were all sorts of explanations. The type of lactose can interfere with the absorption of copper, which in turn is involved in some complex processes in our body, and if it does not participate, then problems will begin in the cardiovascular system.
This case was never confirmed, but even then it became clear that fatty dairy products for the heart can be harmful.
About 20 years ago, it was possible to somehow establish that lactose has a bad effect on the heart of daphnia. These are such microscopic crustaceans. Plankton. Their heart rate slows down from lactose, and some of their crustacean arrhythmias occur. It is completely incomprehensible how this case could be transferred to a person. Nobody, in my opinion, even tried.
Then, closer to our present day with you, provocative statements began to appear about the fact that sour cream with cream do not harm our heart so muchas previously thought.
Well, that is, it was traditionally believed that saturated fats from sour cream and other fatty dairy products themselves themselves contain excess cholesterol, and even help our liver to make a lot of its internal cholesterol.
Under this case lactose haters immediately came up with their theory. Like when there are heart attacks from dairy products, it is not associated with milk fat, but associated with lactose. Therefore, fat has nothing to do with it.
Some genetic studies of our ancestors, who only about 7000 years ago learned to digest lactose, also pulled up there. Something like the fact that our body has not yet learned so well over these thousands of years, and therefore inadvertently poisoned with lactose.
As a result, none of these tales were confirmed. Lactose does not cause heart attacks with arrhythmias, and fatty dairy products have not yet been rehabilitated. Maybe in the coming years someone will do some powerful scientific research, and then everything will become clear.
