The Dangers of Milkshakes

Milkshakes are often high in added sugars and can significantly contribute to weight gain, insulin resistance, and other chronic health issues. Typically lacking in nutritional value, these beverages are primarily filled with empty calories derived from sugar syrups and flavored additives. Many fast-food milkshakes are made from casein A1 milk, a protein linked to inflammation, which can lead to adverse health reactions even in those who believe they are lactose intolerant. Therefore, avoiding milkshakes is recommended for better health outcomes.
