If I get up for a drink in the middle of the night, I’ll rarely drink milk, since it won’t quench my thirst. Instead, I’ll want to drink more milk, which won’t help matters. Why is this?
I don’t know. I’m the opposite, if I have a big guzzle of milk in the middle of the night I feel very satisfied.
Just my opinion - because milk isn’t meant to be a thirst quencher, it’s meant to be food (and food for infants, but that’s besides the point).
A cup of milk contains 125 mg of salt. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
Maybe it makes your throat sticky, and what you perceive as thirst is just the need to wash your throat.
But it also quenches infants’ thirst.
I am the same, milk always makes me more thirsty …
My favorite drink is a huge cup of ice cold water, with ice cubes in it, and a dash of lemon or lime juice. I prefer to use either true lemon or true lime [powdered real joice, each packet is equivalent to 1 tsp of juice. It is also great for sprinkling on veggies or fish to add some zing]
Of course, a nice lemon aid or lime aid is nice, but I cant drink them when I am out because of all the sugar. mrAru makes the best lemon or lime ade from scratch at home, with splenda as the sweetening agent=)
Milk isn’t ‘meant’ to be anything. It’s milk. It has consequences, not ‘meaning’ or even a purpose.
This is a good question. I wonder the same thing. In fact, I find that drinking milk leaves some kind of tenacious sweetness on my teeth, and I have to drink a lot of water and brush my teeth before my mouth feels “normal”, or at the very least, comfortable, again.
Whole milk or skim?
