close to being lactose intolerant, arouse 92 percent of adults, including myself, suffer from lactose intolerance in china. in 2021, the chinese population consumed on average 14.4 kilograms of milk and dairy products per person. now that is relatively low figure compared to other countries worldwide. however, the chinese government is play an important role in promoting dairy consumption in china, launching programs to provide each child with a cup of free milk at school. this goes hand in hand with the growing health awareness, especially after the cold pandemic of the nutritional benefits and dairy products such as calcium facilitating digestion and boosting the immunity system. so rather than drinking liquid milk which is not agreeable, the chinese market is turning towards adult powdered milk. this is a functional product aimed at addressing the specific nutritional and digestive needs a certain adult grids and makes it easier to consume. despite its tremendous growth

in recent years, per capita consumption still remains low. so now let's bring in doctor silverman sharla was scientific director of the agrifood analytics. so doctor, 1st of all, is milk actually healthy and good for you? why is it such a popular drink in the west? because keep in mind, humans are literally the only man on the world that still drinks milk past infancy . there is no other species that drink milk into adulthood. so why do we do this? and is it really good for you? well, i mean, you have to go back hundreds of years. i mean they, it's really more cultural. we as humans, at some point we decided to, to give us, give ourselves access to, to healthy animal proteins. gus, many years ago we did do a lot of manual labor, we needed strength, and so we associated proteins with strength. and so that's why,

of course having cows is, was actually quite beneficial for, for people working essentially. and of course, dairy products came afterwards, the yogurt and for mentation, the cheeses. all that stuff came about i'd say about 500 years ago when we decide to kind of do something with butter, fat, and, and milk. and it never left. it came mostly from, from europe, and it got transferred over to north america. and what about all the growth hormones that are in milk these days? is that something that people should be aware of that steroid hormones and growth hormones used on taos will pass on into the milk and subsequently to you. actually, growth hormones are illegal in canada. they are legal in am i it states. but the studies show that there's no risk for humans at all,

and about 5 percent of dairy farms in the west do use growth hormones. and so i, i don't see, or at least. so research suggests that the use of growth almost doesn't represent a food safety hazard for humans, at least not at this point. is there a clear difference or advantage between populations who consume a lot of milk versus those who do not? not really, i mean it's more of studious culture food. it food is all about tradition as well. so you kind of have to appreciate those aspects of food we do. we eat certain things, not because what we like or i just, it's part of our culture essentially. and over time, those habits have been embedded into our food choices every single day. if you go to other places are on the wall where milk is not consume very well like india for

example. but it, it just ate they, they basically consume other things that can actually address nutritional gaps that they may have in their diets. because because we're traveling more now and because we're more globally aware as citizens, i think there is a movement away from and are proteins in general in the western world specifically. and so people are looking for and that's why there are alternatives. i'm glad base products vegetable proteins are becoming more popular and things like we've been told a lot of myths growing up about milk, saying that it has a lot of calcium to build strong bonds. now a sweeter study suggests than drinking more milk, not only increases mortality, but also increase the risk of fracture. what do you make of this? i, i haven't seen that study actually, and it, to be honest. i,

here's the thing about dairy research. a lot of it is funded by the dairy industry so, so a lot of studies will support certain narrative and, and yet you always have to be careful with, with these studies. or if it's a one off, it doesn't be, it doesn't tell you much, but they are if there are several, if you conduct a met the analysis and then you realize that several studies, actually i've come up today with the same conclusion, then that's a bit of a head scratcher 2 years ago kat as decided to ha name a water drink of choice when for 50 years it was milk to drink of choice. so that was a bit of a departure that really didn't go well out with the dairy sector. but i think over time, as the food guide becomes more institutionalized, we are expecting more people to, to move away from saloon milk. thank you so much, doctor sullivan, shiela,

blah. dr. sylvan was stick around because after the break, we will analyze who is the biggest contributor to the overall waste and earth pollution? is it dairy production or plant and base milk factories? what do you think? well, have the answer when we come back. ah, ah, lingering has been a member of the european union and nato since 1999 during the 1st post soviet wave of nato's eastwood expansion number be still is because of history. my logo thanks his dilemma. a c. like by a conscience e. so me here,

if so with actual zap bud luma, it would be show every mia still more sna will beach grass you but i see also marsh roy, a mug woochie struggling in the early ninety's hungry was a country with the worst view of russia due to historical disagreements left over from the soviet union. georgia younger was all righty. and what are you some i'm not yours? no, but i don't know what i see if you, if you love somebody in the gum handle political more than those what i see is great. and i did is a, it's a political. those with, oh, lisa hunter, russian state to never tied as on the northland scheme div, asking him then i can also send up with

probably speedo keys on my knees to fargo. speed you went home home with will ban in the european union, the kremlin. yup. machine. the state on russia today and split the sport that even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube and pinterest and with me, ah, really sensitive water is thrown in the old on a bowl national board about what's going on with the last dance fidelity dealers

from from hours from the end to lower the do it in b c machine you could give to way in a politician kills of thunderbolt a ship or was to living with him a little bolcom. the crucial chest middle school is also in the us with the moon. is no, but it's good. p t d still not off with no go see, shoot the mr. in the middle south, the more you can give us history, but it is a battle stuff on this. don't see this material, but enough to even in the supply unit, should update those little bit just to look me. it doesn't help with me. she go, she returned with a note up there lewis, my idea to handle most of you a lisa this up. let me look,

are you going to skip? mm ah no one, no, no, no, admiral, who are, you know, know what goal more real than what they should end up unit

73. 1 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. and grill oh, you know, to protect it, but it gives you or she'll book a enough you know, to when you saw new rochelle he on more modern you know, margaret thought this is meant nguyen from all one of our new and i got the much sale i got ya, i got on monday, i wished enough about julie ho knew he didn't, no more rushed enough for a single glass of it takes about a 101 out to make a glass of milk. meanwhile,

plants also require water to grow, but not as much. allman's take the lot of water, but only about 80 leaders to produce a glass of milk. rice would take about 40 leaders to grow and the global market for plant base dairy is now currently growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 13.3 percent when the market value of 53900000000 by 2028. this, however, is still quite small compared to the overall dairy market, which reached almost 490000000000 and 2020. however, the asian market is already on board, as the soy and almond milk markets have been strong there traditionally. so i has long been a staple in chinese and japanese diets, and now increasingly asian consumers are turning towards plant based milks so they can satisfy their taste for something creamy and milky. but also avoid lactose

intolerance symptoms and drink a high calories. in 2020 china's milk alternative market was $8500000000.00. while the u. s. was only 3100000000. and now we have dr. sylvan shiela boy, back with us. thank you so much, dr. now there's been a lot of arguments saying that plan base milks are. c better for the environment than traditional milk. do you think this is true, especially when you add in all the water and fertilize and everything and taste to grow enough, all men's or caches to make these not milks. so yeah, to your point, it depends of the source. so i would say that when it comes to dairy alternatives, old milk has probably the upper hand. oh, doesn't really quite old water water, but by when you look at almonds, for example, the case is much weaker, so it really depends of the source of, of, of the product itself. really, i mean with tow food, for example, with sawyer,

the case is fairly stronger. i mean, there, there are that when did the environmental footprint of some products are actually typically much better than, than, than, than milka or dairy products in general. now, well, no gall turn is ever replaced conditional. now, when it is cheaper to produce ripped, replace, i don't think it's i think they're just 2 different products, but i do think that the dairy is facing some major headwinds for, for a couple reasons. one, the environment for i think the case cannot be better over time, but other cases are going to be bettered. and secondly, animal welfare. i mean, if you bid on a dairy farm and you understand they're a genetics, i mean, it will throw a lot of people off. i grew up on a farm. my, i know how milk is done is made and how you impregnate a cow. but if you explain that to say a city dweller, someone who's never been on

a farm, that person may get upset with some of things you say are you explain how all our farmers actually operate? and so, as you learn more about dairy farming, and i often say that the dairy farmers, i mean, yeah, you want to advocate and, and show transparency but may be said girls won't like what you're showing to them . and so there's that going on. animal welfare is a big deal, i think. and it also of course health health is a big one. and finally, social economics, the price that we are seeing a major difference between the, between different price points we, we don't know, we don't think that annual proteins are going to get any cheaper. however, all tutors are likely gonna get cheaper. so if you're on a tight budget, you may reconsider your options. and do you think plant mace melts are, do you think it's simply a fad or do you think that the market segment has

a high growth potential? i think as, yeah, i think, i mean, you're already there, it's double digits for the last 3 years and i don't think that's going to change is it's going to continue to grow. i think. yeah, there is a movement towards alternatives for shore. your see, you see that the grocery store, there's more space dedicated to their alternatives. now what is martini is tempered is a glass of regular milk or non dairy milk trend. and generally speaking, which one is more expensive? is there's because you have subsidies in there. i'm and america subsidizes it's dairy industry. can it canada subsidizes? it's their industry. there's a court, a system. i mean, it's a, it's, are, it's a hard question to answer because of it's just hard to compare really, like us, dairy alternatives, the price you pay, the grocery store is, is

a pure net price there. there's no state interference or very little wise dairy. it's heavily subsidize, so if you actually stops a subsidization, you'll see the true cost of dairy, which is something we don't see right now. so excuse market conditions. and what do you think is healthier? not milk plant milks or traditional dairy milks, do non dairy alternate as have all of the nutritional benefits gwyle i, we're, we're actually a hybrid household. we actually drink everything. we're, we're either because we, we want choice. and i think that's really the, the challenge here. i think it's important to democratize animal protein and allow consumers to decide and not to impose in their space for small farmers to succeed and innovate within the mel cartel. and do they have the consumers as a priority in their minds in canada?

it stuff. yeah, it's very tough. i mean the, the dairy lobby in canada is incredibly powerful. they, they will squash any menace in a, in a 2nd. they, they, it's a, they don't like innovation. innovation represents a threat. nea says, yet you guys have way more choices, way more choices are and frankly, the quality is actually better. i'll be honest with you. the quality is much better knew us. i actually lived in florida for 6 months last year and i couldn't believe the butter and a yogurt. it just stays difference here because of the cartel. everyone produces mill the same way and they made money. they don't really have the consumer on their minds at all. why in america you don't have a choice, you have to really think about the consumer is non dairy market, a competitive one, it's getting there, it's getting very out there. so there's some economic scales. and i actually think

that over time it will only become more competitive. why thank the milk industry spend so much time convincing you that milk is good for you. why? ah, well, 1st of all, so he, canada, they spent a $150000000.00 convincing us that milk is buried, say it's actually when you think about it. it's $9.00 per capita. there's no other budget like that. it's the largest marketing budget we've ever seen in canada. it's just, it's mind boggling. and it's really about reinforcement. it's of, it's about really getting are, there are message out there and it's more about image. it's not just about getting people to think that milk is healthy, it's about image. and so whenever you see a producer dumping milk, they did, they want you and i to forget about it and think about the blue cow and in the feel they're all walk it around nicely. that's what they want you to think about.

they don't want you to think about the nasty stuff. that's why they spend on $50000000.00. thank you so much dr. cell and child welfare time and insights to day . so who are the winners and losers here? well, as the new product line, non dairy milks are going to be gaining ground and taking market share from the already established dairy industry. so in that respect, your traditional dairy segment is the big loser. many people are also now starting to choose plan based alternatives to cow's milk for themselves or their children because of health reasons. and the rising obesity epidemic, compared to one cup of whole fat cow's milk. most plan based milks had 37 to 75 percent less fat. traditional milk is actually a big double loser here because on top of that plant based milk is encroaching on their market share and it's also experiencing an overall decline and consumption compared to the previous decade. mill consumption is down 42 percent from what it

was half a century ago. and while some of that is attributed to plant based alternatives, some of it is also because of the wide variety of beverage options that we now have these days. you got, so does fizzy beverages, co boucher, fruit juices, flavored water, drinkable yogurts teas, coffees, et cetera. milk is no longer the only option on the table. i'm christy. i thanks for watching and we'll see you back here next time on the cost of everything with ah ah

ah ah with

ah, it's done with lord stream one and 2 were destroyed by great britain. it's a tremendous opportunity to once and for all removed the dependence on russian energy. the war in ukraine is all the mistakes were made, and i have been elected as a leader of my party, angel, prime minister in pot, fixed face, the highest taxation said still both this year alone. we have provided 2300000000 pounds of military support. and we will do the same again next year. i need to because i still wait, wait a minute

. ah, every spring and summer, the melting optics no reveals abandoned machinery, millions of rusty barrels and the detritus left by human expansion into this most inaccessible of territories. yet on the move, so take a look at the bus begun as an issue all entails from clean optic travel to heis island home to the biggest polar station on the french joseph land dog capella. go, i asked you, but i lost my bosom or yet we should so amuse it's. it wouldn't be homeless. the nasa monthly and i'm but somebody with a summer stay on the oil stuff was similar. he feel like a marriage from a serial number 0 membership, one year to year of capillary bomb, cyril know, boys of premier latrice, chico, or any of the arctic pioneers. main objective was to explore and conquer these harsh lands. they had no time to think about waste management now and legacy could

remain for centuries. my choice to sir william madeline. it is pretty uh, because your son was going to put on your corporate. don't really tune with deal to fish you ah. ah ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation let it be in arms. race is on often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist those 3. how that strategy will be successful,

very critical time, time to sit down and talk ah, at the end of the 18th century, britain began the illegal opium trade in china. this har, drug causing addiction and literally destroying the human body, became a gold mine for business men from the foggy albion. however, the ruling chinese jing dynasty tried to resist and to stop the illegal trade, which provoked the wrath of the london business community. in 1840 without a declaration of war, the english fleet began to seize and plunder chinese coastal forts. the poorly armed and morally drained chinese army was unable to provide adequate resistance.

the jing empire was forced to hand hong kong over to england and open its boards for trading the lethal goods in 1856, france and the united states joined in the robbery of china. the anglo french troops defeated the chinese occupied beijing and committed an unprecedented robbery . destroyed and blundered the wealth of the un mean you and palace. the defeat of the jing dynasty in the do opium wars lead to the transformation of the celestial empire into a semi colony of european states and started it's age of humiliation. and the sale of opium took on colossal proportions and led to the horrible deaths of millions of ordinary chinese ah, sick, he is the 1st of
