Almost everyone loves milk, believing it to be a complete health drink rich in protein, carbs, and fats. However, nutritionists have questioned this. Milk's calcium is of low bioavailability, meaning our bodies can't absorb it well. Worse, milk can leach calcium from our bones to help digest it.

Three reason you should not have milk who has diabetes:

1. Sugar and carbohydrate content:

Milk contains about 12-13 grams of carbs per 8-ounce serving. Interestingly, most people (about 68%) can't digest lactose, the carb found in milk. For diabetics, carbs can cause blood sugar spikes, which isn't ideal.

2. Fat:

The second obvious risk factor is fat. Milk as everyone knows is very high in fat, and processed dairy products like cheese are even higher.

3. IGF: 

The third risk factor, which is not so obvious, but just as deadly, is a compound called IGF (Insulin-like Growth Factor).
