Would You Drink It? #shorts

We’re told that milk is a perfect food that we should drink daily—three glasses to be exact—in spite of a large (and growing) body of research showing its lack of benefits.

In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about common dairy myths, why it is such a contentious food, how to tackle the pros and cons of whether it belongs in your diet, and which dairy is actually okay to eat. 

You can find the full episode on your favorite podcast app.

I grew up on a dairy farm in Ireland, that’s all we drank! And it was unpasteurised! I never even had a spot as a teenager but I do think that might have been the intermittent fasting we did lol 😆 (not by choice! 😅😂). I agree with you though but I do drink milk occasionally… I must be a calf!! 😊

[dankcik]

Hymogenized and pasteurized is much different than raw.

[robincapuano]

He fails to say that not all milk contains these harmful elements.

[smallfootprint]

No dairy here. I always returned to dairy, and to illness. Now 100% whole food, plant based, and feeling good.

[kunalsunny]

What about fermented dairy such as grass fed kefir, European cheeses?

[williamjarrard]

There's no research that indicates milk is bad for you. All they've been able to say with any certainty is that people who drink milk seem to live longer. If it's because they drink milk, no one knows. Maybe it is or maybe it's just because milk drinkers tend to take better care of themselves. Quackery like this reminds me of the days when they told us eating eggs was a ticket to an early trip to the cemetery, Now it's eat at least 5 eggs a week for better health. Nature's perfect food !

Overconsumption is the main problem a dash in your tea or some cream in your coffee is not going to cause cancer, I don’t drink cups of milk but do have a fair bit of cream doesn’t seem to effect me

[alejandrawalker]

Thanks for explaining. Im alergic to milk and chees. Causes me a lot of phlegm and cough and rash

[sairobot]

I quit milk for years now because when i drank it causes bloating and diarrhea.I don’t know why

[dorothysay]

Yeah this is overblown, and untrue for most people. There are folks who cannot tolerate milk? But I’ve never once been troubled by acme, bloating, bad hormonal changes etc from milk. I drink grass-fed, organic whole milk in moderation, and use butter and yogurt that come from same.
It delicious and high quality protein.

Raw milk is the perfect food. Also, they did a huge study using milk, diet pop, regular soda, and water. Each group only drank one of the choices. The people who drank water lost four pounds, milk drinkers no change in weight, real pop gained four pounds, but the diet pop drinkers gained 16 pounds. This study lasted 3 or 4 months. I can't remember for sure.

I disagree!! I have raw kefir / cheese/ yogurt from once and while with camel milk all came up amazingly to my health !! It will be much refreshing to cut all dairy for one or two years to reactivate digestion for it again 😍😍 ! I don't drink milk because the high content of sugar that yeast and bad bacteria feeding on but when I healed I think for raw milk heated at home to be addition for coffee is amazing! Plus we are in carnviore what how we vary our food then 😅😅

[eswarmovva]

I think I disagree with this. I grew up drinking bovine milk, Never had any issues.

[pinchebruha]

Never liked it 😂 but I do love real cheese. I eat the French way fresh and organic when I can afford it which was the norm while living in France. America let’s big Pharma but way to much garbage in our food chain!

[foziaar]

How about pasture raised, raw milk? Grass fed cows

[warnerhome]

What about cultured dairy like cheese, sour cream and butter?
Milk gives me problems because of the lactose so I don't drink it. But I do love my cheese. Is it OK to eat?

[cjellison]

So Greek yogurt falls into the same category?

[naaimazaidi]

What about raw dairy ? is it still problematic?

[luvyatubers]

Mom made me cereal w it every morning as a kid and now know it was the cause of my bad breath. Also I was shown happy milking cows in happy barns on TV. Did not know newborn calves never get a taste of it. I can only guess why humans don't sell human milk. Abuse and slavery probably. The less dairy the better I feel

[iamonewithlove]

Have you had a conversation about raw unpasteurized, no hormones, cow and goats milk??
