Quitting dairy is one of the best thing I’ve every done, aside from quitting added sugars.
Wish they talked about raw cow & goat milk.
Exactly. I enjoy sheep, goat, and even buffalo milk cheese. No problem.
@Luann Rouff But many people do have problems with animal milk in general. We are the only species that consumes other species milk, and I think that is the underlying problem they’re addressing when they discuss the hormones problem. Harvard Medical School no longer includes Dairy as part of their Recommendations.
@Robert Leroux That’s progress! The dairy lobby is so strong, along with many other harmful food lobbyists. So many people profit from the current paradigm, I don’t know how it can be changed. ☹

I did not know that dairy spikes a person’s insulin.
@ET Himself good idea
I got a big reaction to full skimmed milk
How about sheep cheese ?
Yes! This is the biggest health issue I have identified in myself to date.
Please do an episode about endometriosis!
To be honest I have experienced zero benefit from cutting out dairy altogether, neither for my skins nor for my gut or overall well-being.
But I still believe that many people do, so it’s important to address this.
I agree 100%. I have no problem with dairy and drink 1/2 gallon a day
How can we see the remainder of this discussion?
American dairy is bad bad – others much better
I’ve been having kefir to repopulate my gut, i accidentally bought full skimmed milk and I had a huge jittery energy crash, worse than a sugar one.
I have a very reduced diet and only eat a couple things… I decided to eliminate dairy for a month and noticed no difference.
I think its vaccines that have caused a lot of these reactions
What are you thoughts on dairy from goats and sheep? My family and I drink goats milk and eat some cheeses but none sourced from cows.
