- Is Dairy Bad For You? This is an in-depth look at the history of the dairy industry, the changes in practices over the last 20 years, and how it may be affecting your digestion, protein absorption and overall tolerance for lactose. Find out how hormones, antibiotics and mass production on dairy farms may potentially be causing adverse health issues. For more information on how simple things like dairy can affect you, go to www.thomasdelauer.com
Dairy - A History
1. Between 1991 and 2004, the number of U.S. dairies decreased by half, and those with an excess of 100 cows increased by 94 percent. Big business tends to do anything to increase profits, which was led to changes that impact both our health and our sense of what is morally acceptable. (2)
2. Between 1950 and 2000, the number of dairy cows decreased by half, however the average milk yield more than tripled. (2)
What this means for dairy:
1. Antibiotics:
a. dairy cows live in some tough conditions and consume a diet that is high in protein and low in fiber, opposite of their natural diet of grass, which is high in fiber and low in nutritional density. They are fed this way to increase production, however it makes cows sick. (2)
b. To keep cows healthy enough to produce milk, they are fed antibiotics. These antibiotics are passed on to us when we consume dairy products. This could lead to antibiotic resistance, and it is not fully understood what health problems this could pose. (2)
2. Hormones:
a. milk contains natural hormones and growth factors - think about it - milk is produced in mammals to create the nutrition and resources for a small mammal to grow to be large. These hormones are meant to bring an 85 lb calf to a full grown 1,500 lbs (4). In addition to these naturally occurring hormones, synthetic growth hormones are frequently used to increase the production of milk. These hormones are readily available in the dairy we drink and may affect our normal hormonal function. (3)
i. One hormone added to cow’s milk, insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), has been implicated in increased breast and prostate cancer risk. In a study of nearly 22,000 participants for 28 years published by the Journal of Nutrition in 2013, it was found that those who consumed greater than 2.5 servings of dairy products daily had an increased risk of prostate cancer compared to those who consumed less than one half of a serving per day. (7)
Aren’t there other nutrients that you need from milk?
Every nutrient that you can obtain from milk, such as calcium, potassium, protein and fats can all be obtained from whole plant foods, such as vegetables, legumes, nuts and fruits.
It is important to reduce the causes of chronic inflammation in our diets, and the hormones in milk, whether organic, raw milk or regular milk with even more hormones added in, can lead to inflammation.
Cut dairy out of your diet for 30 days and see how you feel. It you find better digestion, increased energy and improved health, you are likely one of the majority who have an inflammatory response to dairy.
If you do decide to continue eating dairy, do so in small quantities and be sure to consume organic, raw dairy.

this guy is so professional man

must be them keytones fueling his mental abilities
No mames guey, tu numbre😂 chicharon????
I watched this video 2 months ago and since then I decided to give a try. Oh lord! What a wise decision I made. I stopped drinking/dairy two months ago and I like my stomach is much flatter and I have more energy to work out. I highly recommend to everyone to give a try. Dairy is just a business, so don't let your body to be a profit for someone else at cost of your health.
i remember how badly my joints were affected by dairy and sugar, best shape of my life so far ... still pushing
thank you for keeping it plain and simple. and not hidding behind a product to sell. i appreciate it bro
Luckily, hormones on cows are banned in Europe.
You've been lied to.
***** nope?
Of course. It's fucking horrific how the animals are treated in Europe (for meat AND dairy/eggs).
Do a bit of research rather than taking my word for it.
Stefan Alexander Lay Ⓥ I am talking about hormones, not about the treatment. Stick to the subject.
xBaphometHx It is the subject. Maybe not to you, but it should be.
I went off dairy for 30 days. When I went back on milk I felt substantially better on milk than off. My heritage is northeast Europe (Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and some Dutch). Scandinavia exports a lot of dairy.
thank you for your videos!! and thank you for going straight to the point. no intro music and no wasting of time!!Many Thanks!!
Thank you Thomas for providing videos that are very informative, concise and clear! I appreciate it so much!
It's good to see guys like this being honest about dairy, respect to you man.
Good video. But I think addressing the difference between Organic Grass Fed RAW dairy and Commercial Pasteurized / Homogenized (even if its organic) is a very important point and a major factor when deciding to consume dairy. The nutrient profile of Raw to Commercial is vastly different. Most who are lactose intolerant will have no issues with RAW. It is not accessible to find all forms of raw dairy (i.e. milk, butter, cheese..) in all state, but if you do live in a state that doesn't make food decisions for you then I would say make the effort to get RAW. I have been drinking RAW milk for a few years now and making my own Raw Milk Kefir. Always want to make sure you buy from reputable farmer, but these days we have the simple technology and stringent regulations to produce raw milk in an extremely safe way.
My family & i, 6 months ago started drinking Raw A2 grass fed/finished cow & goat milk. We get a gallon each a week from our local farmer. Before we would drink store bought regular pasteurized a1 milk. We had a host of problems for years. Intolerance, deficiencies, bloating, eczema, diarrhea, etc. Once we switched to raw cow & goat milk all problems went away!! Raw milk is a miracle! 🙌
Amazing... this video has given me so much insight on me and my son’s digestive issues that doctor could never tell us! Thank you for this education and all of your amazing knowledge in these videos!!!
Your videos are the only thing other than music and podcasts that I can actually work too. Simple, easily digestible, no need to research stuff often (info is complete and comprehensive too)
Going Non-Dairy has changed my life for the best!
Try raw milk
Me too! I can't even have raw milk
How has your life changed?
Of course you are not from europe it is like drinking poison for you. Africans have very low tolerance. But if you have tolerance and the milk is fine it is great👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@tristanc5937 he'a probably lactose intolerant though it mus be extremely unpleasant experience for him
I stopped using dairy for almost 3 months. I feel great and have no more flems.
once I started raw milk I have zero phlegm. Only had it with Pasteurized milk.
Tori Lauren you can. Just google raw milk finder. It will be a website or an app. That's how I found mine. Your local WAPF (Weston A. Price Foundation) chapter will hook you up with everything, too.
I'm looking to turn my raw milk into kefir which is a superfood.
i drink coconut milk instead.
If you are going off how you feel, do some research on the correlation between prostate cancer in men and dairy.
Considering how prevalent prostate cancer is in men, isnt any correlation whatsoever enough to scare you off it? the majority of men that die of "natural causes" actually die of prostate cancer. Its like breast cancer in women, if a product was suspected of causing breast cancer, wouldnt you expect your wife or mom to stop consuming it?
Thomas, you are by far the best health coaching channel on the internet! Keep it up!
Thomas, please do a video on how we may be addicted to foods that we are actually allergic to. The constant stomach ache issue reminded me that people sometimes are eating foods they think they like, but really are constantly experiencing the reaction to the food: a heightened state that is brought about by the body's defense system to something that they ate and is trying to defend and detoxify itself from.
Very interesting point
Much of this information is very specific to SOME of the US only dairy industry
The question as to if dairy is bad for you or not is very personal. From my perspective I had terrible bloating and congestion with diary and gluten. Once I cut them out entirely at the advice of an excellent nutritionist, I felt like a new person. Now I tend to avoid both, though small amounts don't seem to create the discomfort they once did.
for me if i dont drink milk for like a week i start to crave it like mad.
I really like your videos! Very informative, thank you !
I like these everything-is-bad-for-you videos
Everything has a side effect, even breathing.
Lukson he’s just saying it’s not as healthy as the dairy industry is saying it is
@@TIRFemcel Yeah. Oxygen sucks so good ...
Hahahaha💀💀 man I’m dead
Humans were meant to consume mostly animal products with SOME plants... Some people make the argument that monkeys eat mostly plants.... But do you see them talking??? Most herbivores have to spend FAR more time eating than a carnivore does to get the same amount of nutrients and energy....
So no not everything is bad for u.... We just need to start looking at "were we meant to eat this"... Dairy is possibly the only animal product where the answer is no... (Assuming said animal product is raised right)
When I did Whole 30 (removing dairy from my diet), I had a major epiphany that my sinuses had been congested for 40 years and I never even realized it. I always thought I breathed normal until I removed the dairy and was breathing clearer than I ever had in my life. Additionally, my entire life I have had fluid in one of ears causing me to have tubes in my ears 3 times. GONE. No more fluid. My skin cleared up, my joints stopped aching, the chicken skin on my arms went away, and I had an overall reduction in inflammation. You just never know how something is making you feel until you really truly eliminate it for an extended period of time. Whatever science or Vets you want to listen to, listen to your BODY.
I love this statement: "You may not realize it because you are living with it all the time."
Mr. Thomas, your narration is outstanding and loaded with very useful information. Thanks a lot.
Excellent, super informative, densely and effectively summed up👌🏻
I always use cottage cheese for one of my proteins, and I'm pretty much scared to eat anything anymore. Everything is bad for you and everything has pesticides on it.
Me too dude meat for example is kind of scary because it is not homogeneous, cheese is easier to tell
I eat eggs some times as well
And lots of whey protein
Years ago when i tried a vegetarian diet i replaced meat protein with cheese. I developed severe asthma. When i quit the cheese the asthma vanished to.
I since discovered we don't need ti replace meat with other sources of protein. Just eat whole foods.
I've been dairy and sugar free for a few years now by choice - feels great. Easter and Xmas are challenges but otherwise easy lifestyle to sustain! Love your videos :)
How to make protein shake?
What % of meals do you cheat?
how to eat cereal?
I did that experiment you mentioned of 30 days by accident. the effects were quite noticeable. My skin quality decreased a ton. and i felt with alot less energy
Thanks for all your guidance.
In Sweden we have really strict laws and and Swedish cows must not be given antibiotics. And farms in gerneral in Sweden are very very good in health point in view for the cows
AlfaPower that s nice
Grass fed or grain fed?
grass fed no hormones or antibiotic raw milk research... pasteurization ruins it.. also raw goat milk does not that have that much growth hormone..
Why does pasteurization ruin it?
I agree with everything you said! I’m vegan and I never really noticed I was lactose intolerant because I was used to having bloating all the time and thought it was normal but when I didn’t have dairy anymore I didn’t have those problems anymore, also I’m gluten intolerant I was tested 5 years ago and I have gluten sensitivity over the years I thought it’s just a sensitivity not celiac so I didn’t think it was the gluten for a couple years I’ve had bad inflammation and the drs can’t find anything wrong and I finally researched it and gluten sensitivity causes inflammation
Thank you very much for this information. How safe is whey and casein (besides gluten intolerance for those who cannot handle it), when isolated from dairy milk?
BULL MILK!!!! Thats not milk my man...thats bull babies!!!!
V. Riv
Gets your testosterone levels up!
You almost made me piss my pants laughing. I was crying over the thought of giving up Milk.
That's what I thought he said too...I sure ain't milking the bull... he can have that all to himself... must be why he thinks milk isn't doing the body good... he's doing it wrong...
Bulls don't produce milk 🙄
shellie doyle lol, that's the point
I read a new research domunentary and this is what that said:
~75% are Lactose in tolerence (cant diegest milk)
It causes leaky gut (search for it unless u know..its a big thing)
consuming more than 1.25 leters can cause cancer (serious)
Reason: milk increases IGF-1 (insulin like growth factor - 1) in your blood ... causes acne too.
But if you are into bodybuilding you know how important IGF-1 is.
Antibiotics / hormones fed to cows doesent matter to us...(they get burned/diegeated before reaching gi/gut)
Most importantly: if you love milk.99% time you love it with sugar..it ruins everything...MILK AND SUGAR not good.
If you are trying to break sugar addiction (which you probabably should) you have to cut diaries as well..(not cheese youghurt)
Cheese and yoghurt / curd is good
(Low lactose and good bacteria for your gut...very good)
Like my comment to make sure another random guy see this too
Thank you for blessing me with this info
Hey Thomas, thank you for the video. I really learn a lot from you. About dairy, I understand your point. But i do my yogurt at home (using pasteurized but no homogenization, 3,5% fat) and i have absolutely no problem with it. Im a bit confused about it! Thx
Lactase levels in adults vary drastically by ethnicity. If you're European, especially northern European, you'll likely have no problem with dairy. Been a great addition to my strength training diet.
They also have high risks of cancer
@@battt1718 i suppose his point is they have more cancer while drinking milk?
It lowers testosterone lol
I went off dairy for two week and when I drank milk again I was bloated, heavy, lethargic, weighed down and puffy. I now can't believe that for most of my life I've started the day with a big bowl of milk in my cereal.
Dude you should get a lactose tolerance test before eating dairy. And if you're not european don't ever try not for you
I don’t really agree with the hormone argument since our stomachs mechanically break down the hormones into basic units: lipids, amino acids, and peptides. You’d have to literally inject the milk into your veins for those hormones to effect you. The antibiotic argument is definitely something I’ll have to research. Great videos! You’ve really been a help during my Keto adaption phase 😃
Great video today. I liked that you gave the facts and spoke about what it all means to me. 💜🌞🌵
Thank you for this information. I think this video demonstrates that you have not sold out to big business like so many other so called experts. In my experience it seems that the larger the organisation, no matter what the field, food, science, government, corporate; the more corrupt they are. Larger organisations appear to almost automatically loose their human touch or any sense of conscience. It's people like Thomas that work hard to distribute 'unbiased' knowledge that we should really value. I am going to try dairy free for 30 days, right after this milk shake, haha. ps, how much do you bench?
Why would you need to sell out to big business when there is money to be made in fear mongering?
Big pharma, big fuel, big food, big dairy, you are correct sir. It's almost always about money.
Hey Thomas.
Been following you for a while.
Thanks for your channel.
Just to say that while I am not disagreeing nor agreeing with you about dairy, the picture that you provide is of factory farmed cows.
Dairy can come from grass fed free ranging cows, not to mention goat and sheep.
Another major factor, is the form in which it is consumed.
Milk is not soft cheese is not hard cheese is not fermented cheese.
Its not an all or nothing affair.
Finally! Good, short meaningful explanation!
So what kinds of replacements do you suggest?
*Dairy Industry has joined the chat.*
Thank you. And that’s why I quit milk 20 years ago - when I heard the story about how milk was being produced from cows bleeding from over-milking them. 😕😓
I quit milk 58 years ago. But i still eat butter !
@@herbbowler2461 isn't butter made from milk?
@@AM-tb4fn
Yes butter is made from milk. However milk intolerances are
Milk protein
Milk sugar and
Milk calcium
Butter has been separated from those ingredients.
Once separated butter becomes one of the easiest foods to metabolize.
Even people with severe milk allergies can usually eat butter without problems.
I live in Canada. Here it is against the law to use growth hormones or antibiotics on milking cows. If in your area these laws don't exist. Buy organic.
I buy unsalted.
@@herbbowler2461 but the milk was meant to be for the baby calf not for us humans.
@@AM-tb4fn
I don't use milk !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video. Thanks, Thomas! I will do that test, because I love milk and I don't feel any kind of discomfort (I think), but everybody is saying it's bad for us, so, let's test it!
Very good information, and concise communication, thank you very much Thomas!
Decided to quit dairy 2 days ago, and this video made me feel all the more better! "unnecessary, unethical and unhealthy" as someone here so nicely put it in the comment. Thanks for the video brother!
it's unhealthy for some people, but i would probably give up on life without dairy. i have never experienced any issues with dairy and i crave milk if i havent had it for a week. it's carried my nutrition my entire life.
my dad's been drinking a half a gallon of whole milk every day for 50 yrs and he is the healthiest fittest 70 yr old I know. And he never gets sick.
Everyone’s chemistry make up is different, so some dairy doesn’t affect others at all or the way it does most.
High quality milk or just regular grocery store milk?
@@mosesstrange9753 Costco whole milk
My aunt has smoked like a chimney for most of her 75 years and seems really healthy.
Your dad makes me sick.
Thanks for all your vídeos!!
Great video, Thomas! Thanks
Am I the only one who caught that he said that we weren't drinking any bull milk at about 5:30? I about died.
Gunna be like the scene from kingpin. Takes a bit of tugging But when it starts coming out there is no stopping it
This only applies to the United States.
Nowhere else on Earth is permitted to use rBST and antibiotics use is strictly controlled. (This is is a big corporate scandal!)
Outside the United states: Sick cows that are ill and are treated with antibiotics are removed from the milk-producing heard and her milk is thrown away. Once the cow is recovered from illness and all antibiotics have cleared the her system, she goes back into the herd. All milk is always tested before being processed for all kinds of things.
I find it surprising that you address this issue like this was normal and some legitimate practice handed down from business history involving private enterprise and not free enterprise. Fascinating!
Americans have suppliers of grass-fed organic milk which would make a good alternative regarding anyone's health and safety. (Free Enterprise)
Then still we should not consume it. It contains more crap than beneficial stuff. It actually causes osteoporosis in women (according to a study), instead of increasing bone density. Milk is all about marketing and money. And now I am not even talking about the extra sugar that is added to it to give it a better taste or whatever.
Almost majority of humans are not evolved to drink milk... Mostly Northern Europeans are able to drink it, and like the video said, even they may not fully digest it. There are known carcinogenic proteins in milk as well, so I don't get why people think milk is so good for us. *Cow milk
All of aldi milk and cheese doesn't have hormones or antibiotics. Also anytime a cow in wisconsin is given antibiotics the milk isn't used. I think it depends on where you source your dairy from. Most of our cows are a portion grass fed and they are allowed to graze. Pretty sure it's the source from California everyone complains about.
Priscilla.... please site study as i have osteoporosis and did not get milk growing up and aside from occasional yogurt and small amounts of cheese i did not drink milk as an adult except while pregnant. thanks
canada too
Wow, I had no clue about the gluten in milk....This explains the discomfort after my coffee, which is usually milk based. I love the way you explain things, a lot a details and fact....Thx! Im sure I learned it, but Im just always thinking about wheat
Hey, just started following after my first week of Keto. Using ketostix to track so far and 5 days good.
I’ve just done a 18 mile bike ride in 1:15, burned 1100 kcal. But 3 mile out crashed real quick in terms of energy so I downed my energy gel & bar whilst still riding. It saw me through and I’m happy with the time (as ive also only just started exercising).
So between the 2 products there was 85g of carbs!! I know it will knock me out of keto temp’, but is there alternatives for longer exercises? I really wanna yo my cycling as my knees are inoperable with miniscus tears and scars
Any help appreciated
5:41......bull milk? Really Tom????
Umm.....no.
Mitch Meier wrong time stamp but ok
I feel I'm the only guy on here that lives on a dairy and I don't get any digestive issues over a glass of milk ':D
Me too. Listen my family grew up on a farm in upstate N.Y and lived off milk, eggs etc... Everyone lived well past 80(8 kids dad's side) like 4 into their 90's and my grandmother 105. No cancers or bullshit this is all a scam. It's not health conscious for people, its just another racket and way for guys like this to make money, which is now in 2018 a monster business. Yeah some people have digestive issues.. Ooooooooh people also have allergies to peanuts and multiple other food and drink. People are just always looking for something to blame in their diet bc of vanity and guys like this are laughing all the way to the bank.
I suspect you are a white guy. Most, but not all white folk have more ability to digest lactose than most others groups. A white guy I know is lactose intolerant.
WTF? Just please... Stop
Or maybe it's you, and that so called 70% of the population which are the mutants?
Honestly man Idk where all of this shit came from? You never heard statistics about milk affecting people before for decades. Just like gluten. Really? It's got to be an environmental factor or something because I have known a lot of people in my years, and maybe 1 freak kid was lactose intolerant. I think really it is a bill of goods sold to the public just for some asshole to be able to make money. Yes I am very cynical and have a right to be. People will do anything these days to make a dollar. Until I get hard core proof and statistics, I am skeptical. If I am wrong I will apologize and look into it, or think I am just stronger genetically then 70% of the population haha.
Soo instead of milk/ cheese/ butter... What do you recommend?
Carol from Australia. Thank you for your good advice. You make a lot of sense.
My digestive system is knackered. I can't remember not having bowel issues. I'm going to try dairy free, see how I get on. Thanks for this video Subscribed
How was it?
How do you feel now ? Did you stick to it?
The very last comment...eat right for you. I tried cutting dairy for nearly a year and it was awful. I experimented again and cutting refined "empty" carbs nearly completely fixed all my problems and a small amount of dairy actually seems to help me. Different people seem to react differently to different things. My theory is genetics / ancestry. It seems like there is literally no one single diet that suits everyone and you just have to find out what works for you.
Excellent. Very Very enlightening. Thank you soooo much.
yea I got intolerance for dairy I got used a lot of vegan substitutes if I do consume dairy it's a got be minimum but you feel better without dairy
Bro I just needed a yes or no
he basically said its a no, but not really.
Great video! Milk has always been my cheat source for extra calories to maintain mass. I never really had anything else to keep the mass on because I have EOE (look it up), and eating right has been a chore. As far as better milk, I recently switched to Horizon Organic in the hopes that this would be the least worst of the milks for my body... Time will tell I guess.
What are your opinions on colostrum? I find it helps me recover better from working out and helps me digest fibrous foods easier.
But you recommend Kerry gold butter in BPC and alot of cheese? confusing
Where's it made>?
Kerry gold is grass fed - not antibiotic and feedlot fed. Cheese is fermented.
The main reason we need milk in our Adult life is because WE HAVE COOKIES !!!!!!!
and CEREALS!!!!!
Okay, so get your Almond Milk!
J.W. AWESOME REASON...and I agree...milk is made for cookies!
😋
😂😂😂love it !
Thanks Thomas, for the good information.
hey..!! Thomas that's an amazing video totally agree with you.
I work for an organic creamery making raw milk cheese, and have been drinking fresh whey every day for the last two years..combined with my workout routine..I think It's time to make a video to blow some minds
Are you by chance in wi
It's been 3 years and still waiting for my mind to be blown.
Less arguing and more trying out his 30 day challenge to see the effect milk has on you, if any.
9 months later, how is it going?😁
Антон Фомин he died 😂😂😂
@@antonfomin007 he need some milk!
I tried longer than 30 days. Not much changed on my end. Im northern european though so that might be why. We have been drinking milk for a millennia. Maybe lost some weight, but that was probably due to calorie deficit. Only thing I'm doing is going 6 months to see if my testosterone goes up. Not sure of the science of how much the estradiol is actually utilized by the body, so it may be a minimal effect or a non-issue since I lift.
Great info ! Thank you 👍
Excellent video, good research simply explained. Well done. 👍👍👍
Have learnt a lot about Kaysin, And gluten. I'm guleten intolerant and my friend is celiac. I feel better informed.
Cant wait for more videos, l Look forward to the next one. 😁😁😁
I buy organic milk from 100% grass fed cows and it's soooo delicious! I love milk.
And make sure is grass fed 100%
This applies to cheese also?
Is it okay to have ON Gold standard whey which is a blended protein with Lactace enzyme in it?
Awesome video! Thanks
As a dairy vet, I'd like to provide an up-close look at some of these claims. True, farms have gotten bigger or gone out of business, simply because of tighter margins and efficiency of scale - the dairy farmers that do the best job taking care of their cows and managing their farms well are going to make more money, buy more cows, make more milk, etc. Those that don't do as well go out of business, and cow health and well-being is usually not as good on those farms. So the farms have gotten bigger (still by far mostly family farms), but management and cow comfort has improved over the years. Cow comfort is paramount to health and well-being of cows, which is paramount to high milk production. Cows that are not well taken care of won't produce as much milk, so it's in the farmers' best interest to take care of their cows.
As for antibiotics, I can assure you that the only antibiotics dairy cows are fed are ones completely unrelated to any antibiotics used in human medicine, and they are simply used to make the cow healthier by altering the population of gut microbes that digest her feed and make the energy in fiber available for her to use. When antibiotics ARE used (to treat disease), the milk is discarded until the antibiotic is cleared from her system. Each load of milk from the farm gets tested for antibiotics before it ever gets unloaded at the processor.
As for hormones, dairy cows are only given supplemental bovine growth hormone (aka bovine somatotropin or BST), which has NO detectable difference on the milk (which already has hormones from the cow anyway), and is in no way harmful to the cow. Note I said supplemental - she's already producing it herself anyway. If there were any way that it could negatively affect the cow or the milk, it would not be allowed. Bovine growth hormone (the hormone used) and IGF-1 (the hormone that cows make in response to growth hormone) are both proteins and are degraded in the gut as all other proteins are - into single or double animo acids, small enough for absorption through the intestinal wall. Even if you were to inject yourself with bovine growth hormone to get it past your gut digestion, it would have zero effect, as the bovine form is different enough from the human form that it would not do anything.
As for the diet, cows are fed a mixture of grain and forage (hay / silage), which is more energy-dense than forage alone, but does NOT predispose them to health problems any more than grass / hay diets do - in fact, we often have more metabolic problems with cows on pasture than those fed a diet with grain, silage, and mineral & vitamin supplements balanced for their particular needs.
So while some people are lactose-intolerant or have milk allergies and therefore feel better not drinking milk, the majority of arguments in this are based on speculation, false claims (though unfortunately widely parrotted), and a poor understanding of cows, biology, and dairy farming.
So StephenVet, how do you justify stealing (and most of the time killing) the cows baby in order for human dairy consumption? We are the only species on earth that consumes another species breast milk. The milk is designed for the fucking calf!!
1 - Milk cows produce way more milk than needed for their calf - that's why they're milk cows, not beef cows, whose sole purpose is to feed the calf. 2 - I know of no-one who kills the calves. Not saying that no-one does, but I don't know or know of anyone who does. Heifer calves are raised to become milk cows, bull calves are raised as beef (ie, for about 1.5-2 years). The calves get fed milk (often fresh milk on the dairy farm, or powdered milk if raised elsewhere) until they are eating enough solid feed that they don't need the milk.
Cow squeezings?....no. Never. Human milk at a critical point in one's life, yes. Bovine milk is not good for anyone beyond the calves who were meant to consume it. 100 calories of kale vs 100 calories of cow's milk? the calcium amount in kale trumps it.
Eat dairy products from New Zealand. Grass fed cows, that do not live in shelters or eat grains all of the time. Milk has, from (what I understand) vitamin d in it, which (studies show) decreases the incidence of the above diseases. And milk has calcium as well. I think grass fed cows that live in the sunshine produce better milk.. New Zealand is the biggest producer of dairy products I believe. My moto is... all things in moderation.
I do Kerry Gold butter and also buy grass fed/grass finished beef...do you appreciate?
5:34 "We weren't drinking any bull milk." Oh God, I hope you weren't! :-D
haha LOL
Hi, i like video contents and the science of things work in the body. I have steered away from animal milk since i got my high speed blenders a few years ago and only make my own almond, hazelnut, soy and mix bean milk as a means to control the ingredients that goes into my milk. However i was diagnosed w/ oral cancer 2 years ago and that was a wake up call for me as i was still consuming whey protein back then. I can’t always stomach cow milk but i can handle cheese. I definitely can’t stomach whipped cream. So these days i found your channel researching keto diet to see if it’s right for me. Thank you for making all these great videos. I highly appreciate them
Good info. Thank you!
i notice when i drink dairy i cough a lot
Ugh , can't have dairy products because of the hormones, can't have too much protein because it'll turn into carbs too, can't have more than 1 avocado a day because of the glucose since its a fruit. What CAN you eat in a good Keto diet? Soon these videos are going to convince me I cant have anything except coconut oil for most meals.
Keto isn't natural. Studies are showing long term keto does damage. No surprise really, carbs have been the staple of the human diet until the industrial revolution. Eat a piece of bread with some pb and j on it and just live.
Take everything piece of advice with a "pinch of salt" lol
@@robideals685 There are exactly no reputable studies that show this. Actually, studies on the health of the only people on real ketogenic diets for a truly long period of time, epilepsy patients, show they are surprisingly healthy despite having had seizures during their developmental phases.
Yes there is, recent ones too. But this shouldn't surprise you because this kind of diet is not sustainable for the long term without some side effects. Burning ketones for energy is the body's emergency switch. Our body does not prefer this method of getting energy. But go ahead and leave it on for as long as it suits you, but don't be surprised when you get sick more often than others and are overall less energetic (mentally but also physically) over the long term (which you won't feel like you are but others will see as clear as day).
@@robideals685 Really? because beta-hydroxybutyrate increase brain function massively and low carb diets most resemble what we evolved for. And I would say the body definitely prefers it. It obviously prefers it because it can produce glucose from the same fats it produces ketones from, but instead it choses to use them for ketones. Actually, the brain preferentially selects ketones over glucose as a fuel source. And low-carb iron man contestants report feeling far better after their competitions than they did previously on high carb diets that they were recommended by sports physicians.
This was a pretty good video. I especially appreciated the historical overview of the dairy industry. For most of my adult life I've ignored the warnings about dairy, and just looked for the rbst-free milk. However, within the past 6 months I've seen some Dr. Berg videos on the subject that along with some health issues have scared me straight. I still eat butter and cheese, but I have pretty much eliminated my milk consumption. I've switched to almond milk for those rare occasions when I consume milk anymore.
When doing the 30 day dairy restriction, does that include all dairy like grass fed/organic butter and ghee?
You're overgeneralising dairy. You've got to take into account pasteurized vs raw dairy. Grass fed vs grain fed vs corn fed cows. How the cows have been raised, organic vs factory farmed. Not all cows are given antobiotics, hormones or fed grain and corn. Then there is the different dairy products like cheese, milk, yoghurt, butter, cultured versions etc.
Hey someone who isn't a dumbass, lol. Its raw milk or no milk in my opinion
Raw milk = bovine tuberculosis. Proven.
Cow's milk contains lactose, imo that says it all when it comes to whether it is something we should consume or not. I stopped drinking milk for a long time now and I have never felt better in my body. And it is visible as well.
comparing raw milk to conventional milk is like comparing all these other types of foods against eachother like meat, eggs, greens, fruits. Obviously fruits and veggies grown unnaturally with pesticides and meats or milk from animals who are sick and being kept alive by antibiotics are going to cause problems for most people. With that said who gives a shit, dont like the idea of milk dont drink it, glad youre doing well :)
This is what I was wondering about, I really like drinking milk, and really like dairy, cheese, yogurt, etc. But it's looking like I have leaky gut/gluten issues. So I've cut out milk, however I'm still consuming the others, thoughts?
Thomas, this is an old video but please do a video on Kefir please!
Who is dat
Sounds like a Religion.
Good Thought... Kefir can remove all bag things in milk includes lacktose. I drink Kefir milk almost everyday. Good for ketogenic diet too
Wow thx so much for the reply coz I was taking dairy all dairy especially milk and yogurt
I'm following all your other advice. I love dairy though and I'm gonna keep using it. I break it down just fine.
What about raw cow milk? With no hormones or anything like that?
Organic grass fed raw is fine. I consume raw goat and sheep dairy only.
Illegal in the US. You can only get it in the grey market.
I need access to this grey market
Canuck Truth you’re wrong
Andy Sunshine raw milk is not illegal in most of the US
It started with peanut allergies in the 90', then red meat became bad, and then grains. Shortly after people began avoiding dairy etc. Now the only healthy things to eat are seeds and organic produce. I know people who avoid red meat, dairy, etc...and their all sick. I live on red meat, dairy and some bread and totally healthy.
exactly! totally agree
Is this applicable for heavy cream (horizon) organic and organic butter which I add in my food for keto diet?
what if you are drinking the organic, 100% grassfed, pasture raised milk? i get the organic valley grassmilk is it good for me?
Did he just say bull milk?
I don't think that Thomas spent nearly enough time on what can be positive about Dairy. First, if it is 100% grass fed that makes all the difference in the world. I was off diary for 20 years because every time I would try to reintroduce it I had digestive issues. Then I tried a 100% grass fed liquid Yoghurt and it was amazing. Then you have the A-1 and A-2 genetic variation in the milk protein. Then you have cheese which if aged over 60 days becomes lactose free. So it depends on the source and the form. And it goes without saying that if don't want to consume dairy you can get by just fine as well!
Patrick Pummill you know that dairy couses diabetes and cancer
Patrick Pummill you said yogurt but yogurt also has probiotics which help the gut maybe that's why it helps some what but the dairy itself is bad period grass feed cows milk is better but it is still bad if you drink to much of it it's like saying I'll just do little bit of coke it wouldn't harm me but if you keep at it it will
zac mann not true at all !!
Nermine Obeid sadly it is😕
