Over 65% milk samples in India adulterated, says report; this is how it affects your body

While most adulterants in India include caustic soda, detergent, glucose, regined oil and white paint. That's right, white paint! Be careful about what you drink

Detergent and other contaminants like urea, starch, glucose and formalin are also used as adulterants as they provide thickness and preserve the milk for longer periods 

The World Health Organisation (WHO) had recently issued an advisory to the Government of India stating that if adulteration of milk and milk products is not checked immediately, 87 per cent of citizens would be suffering from serious diseases like cancer by the year 2025.

Adulteration is more common in north India. The the ‘National Survey on Milk Adulteration’ had conducted a survey few years back and found out that due to lack of hygiene and sanitation in handling and packaging, detergents used in washing containers and other surfaces find their way into milk and its products.

Milk adulterants can cause irreversible damage to human organs
