Why should I be limiting my dairy intake?
Did you know that humans are the only species on the planet that drinks another species milk?
- Dairy products, especially ice cream and cheese, are loaded with fat and cholesterol as well as sugar which can lead to clogged arteries, heart disease, obesity and diabetes. NO THANKS!
- Modern methods of dairy processing are extremely concerning. In an attempt to keep up the dairy production levels, the dairy industry has been known to use bovine growth hormone (BST) which is a controversial, genetically engineered growth hormone which is injected into cows to increase milk production. Many countries have banned the use of this hormone! Cows are even kept pregnant most of their lives on both commercial AND organic farms. During pregnancy a cows hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone are extremely high and these hormones are present in the milk!
- Eating a lot of dairy products can lead to inflammation in the body. INFLAMMATION IS SUPER BAD!
So judging by these facts… I think we should definitely limit our dairy intake!
I understand that some people will still have a bit in their morning coffee etc. however, I think it’s a great idea to try and limit our dairy intake as much as we can.
Here’s a recipe to get the ball rolling!
