Per capita milk consumption
Per capita milk consumption in the world and Iran depends on various factors, including food culture, access to dairy products, and income level.
In general, per capita milk consumption varies in different countries. For example, developed countries usually have higher per capita consumption. Countries such as the United States, the Netherlands, and Denmark have the highest milk consumption. While in developing countries, per capita milk consumption is usually lower. However, in some countries, milk consumption is also increasing with increasing income and cultural changes.
Currently, the annual per capita consumption of milk in developed countries is 350 to 450 kilograms, while in Iran the average consumption of milk is 70 kilograms, which indicates a decline in the country's health.
Milk fat percentage
Raw milk, as milk from which the fat has not been removed, contains 2.5 to 3 percent fat. The highest-fat milks on the market do not contain more than this amount of fat, but low-fat milks are those milks whose fat is reduced. The fat in low-fat milk will never reach zero. The lowest fat content for low-fat milk is 0.5 percent, and the fat content in full-fat milk is 2.5 to 3 percent.
Full-fat or low-fat milk?
There is no credible scientific evidence to prove that all saturated fat in milk is harmful. Therefore, each person should decide on milk consumption based on their physical condition and the advice of their doctor. Choosing between full-fat and low-fat milk depends on your personal needs and preferences. Here are some tips to help you decide:

Full-fat milk
Taste and texture: Full-fat milk usually has a richer flavor and a creamier texture.
Vitamins: Some fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A and D) are better absorbed in fat.
Feeling full: May make you feel fuller longer.
Low-fat milk
Fewer calories: Low-fat milk usually has fewer calories, which can be helpful for people trying to lose weight. Click here to buy Pakban low-fat milk.

Difference between ESL and Pasteurized Milk
ESL milk and pasteurized milk are both dairy products that are prepared to increase shelf life and consumer safety, but there are differences in their processing and shelf life methods:
1. Processing method:
Pasteurized milk: This type of milk is heated for a certain time and at a certain temperature (usually 62.5 ° C for 30 minutes or 72 ° C for 15 seconds) to kill harmful bacteria. After this step, the milk is usually stored at low temperatures.
ESL milk: This type of milk is also pasteurized, but at higher temperatures and for a shorter time than regular pasteurized milk. This process reduces the number of bacteria, but some bacteria may survive. ESL milk is then packaged to prevent recontamination.
Taste and Quality:
ESL milk usually tastes closer to fresh milk and its quality is better preserved because high heat causes fewer chemical changes than conventional pasteurization.
Recommended Daily Intake of Milk and Dairy Products
The recommended daily intake of milk and dairy products varies depending on age, gender, and level of physical activity. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the recommended daily intake of dairy products for children and adults is two to three glasses per day. However, recommendations for pregnant and lactating women differ.
For infants, breast milk or infant formula is the primary source of nutrition, and dairy is not recommended until they are one year old. After the first year, toddlers should consume two cups of milk or dairy products per day. Children four to eight years old should consume two glasses per day, and those over nine should consume three glasses of milk per day.
For adults, the recommended daily intake is three glasses per day. However, this recommendation can vary based on age, gender, weight, and level of physical activity. Pregnant and breastfeeding women may need additional servings of dairy to meet their nutritional needs.
Misconceptions about milk and dairy products
There are many misconceptions about milk and dairy products. A common belief is that people who are lactose intolerant should not consume dairy products. However, many people with lactose intolerance can still consume dairy products in moderation or use lactase supplements to help with digestion.
Another common belief is that consuming dairy products leads to weight gain. While it is true that some dairy products can be high in fat and calories, consuming low-fat or fat-free dairy products in moderation can help with weight loss and weight management.
