"Now remember earlier I was talking about how we really enjoy salty and sweet foods. Because we enjoy sweet a lot of times people will resort to drinking sodas. But remember we need to try and get our dairy servings in because they do offer calcium although they're not the only food that do provide calcium. But they do offer a great source of calcium so most people need two to three servings a day, so a great way would be to maybe replace the sodas that we have in our refrigerators with milk. Try to get some milk in and also yogurt. They have those wonderful containers of yogurt that can keep in your backpack maybe up to an hour that you can carry with you for breakfast or a snack. They stay you can keep them at your work if you have a refrigerator. You can find some different ways of getting those dairy into your day when you're a busy individual. They are great to add to your fruit and nuts, things like that."

This means that, to an extent, ALL of us are lactose intolerant.And Lastly, Dairy is mucous forming to such an extent that many people who cut it out completely significantly reduce the frequency and severity of colds and allergy symptoms.For the past 5 years, my diet has consisted mainly of raw fruits, some leafy greens, and occasionally nuts and seeds. During this time, my performance as an athlete and musician skyrocketed. I have not been sick once. And my symptoms from Tourette Syndrome (a disorder I was diagnosed with at age 6) are barely noticeable to myself, let alone anyone else. I firmly believe that everyone has the right to eat and live the way they choose. But to suggest that dairy is essential, or even ideal, is false advertising and an insult to our intelligence.

on 3/10/2009 The problem with this is as follows:Calcium has two major functions in the body... Initially, it helps us to form and maintain healthy bones. But, throughout our lives, calcium helps to keep our body alkaline. If our blood turns acidic, we will fall into a coma that will end in fatality. Calcium neutralizes the acid created in the digestion process when we eat foods that are acid forming. The problem with dairy is that, although it supplies a fair amount of calcium, it is extremely acid forming when ingested and processed by our long intestinal tract. In fact it takes more calcium than dairy provides to neutralize that acidity. So our body winds up taking calcium from our bones to compensate. In essence, too much dairy can actually LEAD to osteoporosis, calcium deficiency, and bone loss disorders.Additionally, our bodies stop producing enzymes that allow us to affectively breakdow
