Can lower blood sugar and be more nutritious? Experts warn: High-priced camel milk still has a lot of 'uncertainty'

Dairy products are the best choice for people to supplement protein, vitamins and other nutrients in life, and milk as a fresh milk "big household", but also accompanied the growth of many people. In recent years, there are more and more different kinds of milk on the market, milk, goat's milk, camel milk... There is a saying on the Internet that camel milk has a much higher nutritional value than milk, and the price is several times higher than ordinary milk, often drinking has the effect of lowering blood sugar. So, is that really the case?
't actually.
Camel milk is not very different from regular milk
for raw camel milk in Asia, the three nutrients are indeed higher than ordinary milk, the taste will be more dense. However, raw camel milk is not the same as camel milk sold on the market. The raw camel milk produced by each camel is also different in itself, and nutritional data can change after a series of production processes and standardized treatments, such as sterilization and packaging. In the case of a camel milk, for example, the nutritional content table is marked as follows: 3.5 grams, 4.5 grams and 4.5 grams of protein, fat and carbohydrate per 100 grams of camel milk. These ingredients are only slightly higher in fat than regular milk, and there is little difference between protein and lactose content.
from this point of view, camel milk is not much advantage, after all, it is much more expensive than milk.
The effect of camel milk on blood sugar and lipids needs to be further verified
in addition to supplementing protein, vitamins and other nutrients, many people are rushing camel milk health function, and among the many "effects", the most concerned is "good for blood sugar." So, can drinking camel milk really lower blood sugar?
fact, this statement is not a hollow wind. Studies have shown that camel milk contains insulin. Unlike regular oral insulin drugs, insulin in camel milk is wrapped in nanoparticles, easily absorbed by the small intestine, and then acting through blood circulation. In addition, camel milk has small insulin-like molecules that interact with insulin-like bodies. At the same time, camel milk can also affect insulin subject function and glucose transport, thereby regulating glucose stability.
more direct clinical studies on the effects of camel milk on blood sugar. A study abroad recruited 40 adults with type 2 diabetes to drink camel milk for three months in contrast to milk. The study found that drinking milk and camel milk significantly reduced insulin levels and glycation hemoglobin levels on an empty stomach and improved insulin resistance, although there was no significant difference between the two groups of intervention experiments. In other words, no matter what kind of milk you drink, it's good for people with diabetes.
other clinical studies have shown that drinking camel milk can lower blood sugar levels and may have some effect on improving diabetes, but not completely as a substitute for drugs.
previous study also compared blood lipid levels before and after drinking camel milk in diabetic patients and found that camel milk had no significant effect on blood lipids, while total serum cholesterol and LDL decreased in milk subjects. But there have also been experiments that have found that three consecutive months of type 2 diabetes intake of camel milk powder can reduce triglyceride levels. Overall, there is no strong evidence that camel milk has a better effect on blood lipid levels than milk.
some people with diabetes will have complications as the disease progresses, kidney disease is one of them. Can camel milk help treat diabetic nephropathy? Unfortunately, despite this publicity, research in this area is still in animal experiments, and it has not been determined whether the same effect has been achieved in humans.
consider nutrition, but also consider the comprehensive cost-effective
in most clinical trials, camel milk is recommended to drink 500 ml per day. According to the current market price of our country, 500 ml camel milk will cost nearly 150 yuan. Therefore, for the economic strength of diabetics, drinking camel milk is beneficial. But it is debatable whether it is really worth spending so much on camel milk for the working class.
