TODAY is 2 months of my dairy free experiment!
I've been testing myself for 2 months. what i do is drop dairy for 2 weeks then introduce random dairy products into my diet. last week i had some cheese and.... gas, belly pain, headaches, sinus issues, mucus, and skin issues showed up to my door. it's not a coincidence. i use my body for experiments and it's interesting! 2 weeks no dairy and I feel great...2 days eating less than 1/8 cup of cheese and milk and then Dan Dan Dan. I did this 3 times and now it's over so dairy free it is. As of now 60% of people can't digest dairy.
Milk milk milk why do you drink milk or eat dairy products??
Milk has calcium!! not good enough! there is more calcium in dark leafy greens that your body can better absorb.
Milk has protein!! not good enough! you can get protein from small fish and veggies that aren't filled with tons of hormones. the protein found in dairy is casein and its poison in my
eyes. casein is no good (google it) why are sooooo many people sensitive
to it (that is not a good sign)
Milk is good for your bones!! says who? the government and milk brands. it's interesting how studies not affiliated with the government health department say no to milk. there is no evidence to prove that is true. there is proof linking calcium to bones and because calcium is in cows milk that is the evidence. get your calcium from spinach and leafy greens. do your body good.
Milk has Vitamin D!! you can get it elsewhere. Vitamin D is an oil soluble substance that is found in only a few foods, such as the oil from cod liver, egg yolks, butter, goat cheese, chicken livers, and other cold-water fish such as salmon, herring and mackerel. Vitamin D helps in the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D is necessary for normal growth in children. In adults it helps with any function that utilizes calcium or phosphorus, such as transmission of nerves, the beating of the heart, blood clotting, and many others. While the best way to get vitamin D is from the sun, and fruits and veggies don't have them (except mushrooms) I can see why people drink milk but i'll take the mackerel please!

Milk has fats that are good!! are you sure about that? there are plenty other fats for your body to stay healthy. sesame seed butter, nuts, coconuts, fish etc.
If there are no nutritious, healthy reasons to drink milk it comes down to pure delight and taste. Most people just love the taste. I know I did! if your ok with the lack of benefits and harmful triggers then thats that.
BETTER Alternatives:
organic coconut milk (read why?)
organic almond milk make your own almond milk (Blend
1 ½ cups of raw almonds that have been soaked overnight in 4 cups of water.
Blend with dates if you like your milk with a hint of sweetness. Strain once to
remove almond granules. The result is a delicious, creamy milk that is free of
harmful vegetable oil, concentrated sweeteners, and the problems associated with
cow’s milk and soy. It can be stored safely for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.)
organic goat milk you can better digest goat proteins
NOT SO GOOD Alternatives:
soy milk (The phytoestrogens in soy bind to estrogen receptors creating serious
hormonal imbalances resulting in infertility, miscarriage, lowered
libido, precocious puberty in girls and breasts, hypospadias* and
testicular cancer in boys. Soy bio-accumulates aluminum, a toxic heavy metal associated with cognitive decline.
Soy contains fluoride, which is associated with cretinism, learning disabilities, violence and ADD in children. Soy’s protease inhibitors impair protein digestion. Protease is the enzyme that breaks down protein.)
rice milk its a grain plus its got lots of sugar. mostly its alright but many people over due it.
I know why I ate or drank dairy products, although i never got into drinking milk (gag) maybe that was the sign I never acknowledged. I loved cheese, ice cream etc because they tasted so good and it's everywhere. I really didn't have a specific health reason for do this.
Milk is made for baby cows to develop. then the calves ween off and eat like the mama cow.
Human milk is made for humans. then we ween off and drink cows milk. we are the only mammals to do this and it's almost like we do this because we are told to or we are around it growing up.
The lack of knowledge really hurts our health. I was one of those people who just lived to eat whatever and not think twice. I didn't eat to live. Then i got sick and had to change to live. People say "Your so SENSITIVE" but really when i think about it, i think my body is just sending out louder help signals than most people. People that tell me things and continue eating the way they do because they think they can usually have health issues, headaches, bloat, gas, stomach issues, skin issues, weight issues etc so maybe they ignore their bodies signs or just can't hear them. maybe one day!
Soooooo just pure natural foods are the way to go! Lots of greens, veggies, limited sugary fruits, stay alkaline neutral, no grains or limited grains that aren't as harmful, lean meats, no or very limited red meat, no dairy, healthy fats and tons of water...stay away from processed!!!
