When traveling in Xinjiang, the local people advised never to drink camel milk. Why?

Recently, more and more people know about camel milk, and the media have written about it. Drinking camel milk is good for your health. I checked online that "camel milk has the effects of anti-fatigue and relieving renal failure, and has certain anti-tumor activity and immune enhancement". It sounds really good. Professor Hu Hongying from College of Life Science and Technology of Xinjiang University also pointed out that camel will be a research and development direction of biopharmaceuticals in the future. Camel milk is so sought after by the public, so the study of camel milk is absolutely the most important thing in camel research.

Since camel milk is so good to our health, why do the locals advise us not to drink camel milk when we travel to Xinjiang? Actually, it is not that camel milk is harmful to health, but there are other reasons.

In Xinjiang, many herders who produce camel milk do not specialize in producing camel milk. They just squeeze it out for packaging. It is not recommended to drink freshly squeezed raw camel milk, because it contains more bacteria, which will do harm to human body and is not conducive to human health. Local people drink camel milk through fermentation, so it will be healthier. But many people who don't know will only buy it and feel fresh.

Camels secrete camel milk only after giving birth, and because the breasts of camels are very small, camel milk can only be stored in the body, so milking is very troublesome. Every milking time is less than 90 seconds, and a milk camel can only squeeze out 2 liters a day, so the output of camel milk is very small. The supply of precious camel milk is in short supply, which makes some unscrupulous merchants pass off other milk as camel milk to deceive consumers.

The local people in Xinjiang just kindly remind them that they are afraid that everyone will be deceived. But camel milk can still rest assured to drink, as long as it's really camel milk.
