Milk should not be consumed with orange juice.

Yesterday, Ms. Wang, who lives near Dashiba, said that in order to supplement her child's calcium intake, she prepares milk for her son every day. However, her son likes to drink milk with juice, and she is unsure if this eating habit has any health effects.

Professor Wang, director of the Department of Gastroenterology at Southwest Hospital, stated that some foods should indeed not be taken with milk, such as orange juice. This is because it contains fruit acid, which can coagulate when mixed with milk, making it difficult to digest and absorb, and may lead to indigestion or diarrhea. Additionally, oranges should not be consumed about an hour before or after drinking milk, as this can affect the digestion and absorption of milk. By Li Jing
