Coco-Cola is Getting Into the Milk Business

Sounds so healthy. https://www.anh-usa.org/coca-cola-is-...milk-business/

The Coca-Cola Company has created what they claim is a more nutritious milk product called �fairlife� (no capitals, please!), and they plan to sell it for twice the price of regular milk. Calling it the �premiumization of milk,� they say their new milk will have 50% more natural protein, 30% more natural calcium, and 50% less sugar. They also claim that their product is made on sustainable and more humane dairy farms.

There is, however, nothing natural about this milk. They�ve managed to increase its protein and calcium content by separating the milk into its five components (water, butterfat, protein, lactose, and vitamins and minerals), then removing the lactose altogether and recombining the rest in different proportions.



More information about their process is unavailable since it falls under �proprietary� secrets. We wonder if sacrificing good fats, vitamins, and minerals are an appropriate price for increased protein and calcium content. Note that the calcium has been added without including important co-factors like vitamin K that move calcium into the bones and keep it from damaging the heart.
