Stress – Relief Milk !

I have milk every day though I hate it. And many children do too. A mother running after her child to make him drink milk is a common scene in most households.

Milk is said to a complete food in itself. It contains proteins, calcium,lactic acid and various other nutrients that a child needs everyday. We expect our children to have milk but most of us don’t like it ourselves.
But have you heard of stress-relief milk?

A Japanese dairy company recently announced the launch of super-premium milk for stressed-out adults – at a price that equals $ 43 for a bottle of 900 millilitres. Tokyo- based Nakazawa Foods will launch the "Adult Milk" line of products in October targeting "Adults who live in a stressful society".

At 5,000 yen a bottle, it is nearly 30 times as expensive as ordinary milk even in Tokyo, noted for high price levels.

The milk is taken from cows once a week at the break of dawn as they discharge a lot of a stress relieving hormone called melatonin during the night. It is bottled within six hours of milking at a farm north of Tokyo. It is said to contain three to four times as much melatonin as usual milk.

So stress-relief milk anyone?
