While milk is often praised for its nutritional benefits, excessive consumption can lead to various side effects. Here are 5 potential side effects of drinking too much milk.

1 Digestive Issues - High intake of milk can cause digestive problems, particularly for the lactose intolerant. Symptoms like bloating, gas, diarrhoea, and abdominal cramps are common when the body cannot properly digest lactose, the sugar in milk.

2 Risk Of Acne - Excessive milk consumption, particularly skim milk, is linked to higher rates of acne. Some of the hormones in milk may stimulate oil glands and lead to acne flare-ups.

3 Kidney Stones - Drinking large amounts of milk can contribute to the formation of kidney stones. Milk is rich in calcium, and while calcium is essential for bone health, excessive calcium can accumulate and form stones in the kidneys.

4 Weight Gain - Milk contains calories, and consuming it in large quantities can lead to excess calorie intake, resulting in weight gain. This is particularly true if you tend to drink flavoured or sweetened milk that has added sugas.

5 Heart Problems - Full-fat milk contains saturated fats, which can raise cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease. Consuming too much full-fat milk may therefore contribute to cardiovascular issues.
