Abstract

In recent years the consumption of milk has declined, which could be due to the many myths and fallacies that exist about this food and other dairy products. Affirmations such as: "cow's milk is ideal for calves not humans", "humans are the only animals that drink milk beyond infancy", "milk lead to mucus production or occurrence of asthma" or "milk increases cholesterol levels", among others, are present in many conversations of the general population. However, due to the high nutritional value of dairy products, the elimination/restriction of these foods of our diet, without the existence of circumstances that support it, can have negative repercussions for health. Therefore, it is necessary to dismantle all these myths with scientific arguments.
