It's like, here's all the reasons dairy is bad for you, and you don't need dairy - BUT -- of course you don't have to give it up!So do you have to give up pizza, grilled-cheese sandwiches, ice cream, yogurt and chocolate milk? Probably not. Most populations, even if they dont drink milk, have developed fermented milk foods such as yogurts and cheeses, so its not like dairy is a completely new food source. If you have problems digesting milk productsand this can worsen with ageyou can find substitutes or use Lactaid.
That was well put, and made me laugh! Actually though I think the article focuses more on why you don't need dairy, and how its not some real natural food that we need to have (which is what the dairy industry has basically brainwashed the populace to think). It doesn't really get too deeply into why dairy is bad for you, rather it concludes that since its not a new food in our diet, and everybody eats it anyway, that maybe it won't kill of the population after all. Not the greatest logic, but I guess it would be a stretch for MSN to suggest that we might be a whole lot healthier if we did something other than follow the status quo.
That's how I read it... That you don't have to give UP Pizza and all of that if you really like it. Just find alternatives, or if a suitable drinking milk is not available, Lactaid is an option. (still milk, but it looks like a last resort option to me)they could add that there are many non dairy options out there as well.![]()
