I don't really see how he could say dairy is neautral...quiting the bovine secretions greatly reduced my daily inflammation and pain and cleared most of my acne. I grew up in the era of the got milk ad campaign...they even had posters in my school pushing for it. I was forced to drink milk so often even though it brought me discomfort. We are not baby cows and are the only mammal that continue to drink breast milk after infancy(from another species at that) we can get those nutrients from other places and we should!
I appreciate the shorter form video though..good way to get smaller bits of info out from the longer episodes👍

For vit D surely the best source is daylight ?

„We conclude that there are dietary inadequacies in all dietary groups. In people following self-selected plant-based diets, especially vegan diets, intake, and status of certain nutrients is lower compared to meat-containing diets, with an increased risk of inadequacy for vitamin B12, vitamin D, EPA, DHA, calcium, iron (particularly in women), zinc and iodine. Of these nutrients, also meat-eaters were found to be at risk of inadequate vitamin D and calcium intake. On the other hand, people following plant-based diets, particularly vegan diets, had higher intakes of PUFA, ALA, fiber, folate, vitamin E and magnesium, which were found to be at risk of inadequacy among meat-eaters. Additionally, the intake of vitamin B1, B6 and C was considerably higher, especially in vegans.”

I thought he would have given Iodine a mention. I always seek out a Plant Milk that fortifies with iodine... they're a little harder to find but i think they make for a better substitution

have a hard time wrapping my head around how such food so rich in saturated fat like cheddar cheese can be health promoting. Especially if it comes from large scale dairy farms with antibiotics, pesticides and harmful bacteria.

You need vitamin K2 to direct the calcium. I don't think you're going to get that in soy milk.
