When I got up to over 400 Lbs I used to drink a lot of whole milk. Now I have cut my dairy back. I still consume butter, heavy cream in my coffee and a limited amount of cheese. But I have given up drinking milk and eating copious amounts of cheese. When I eat too much dairy I itch now. BTW as of this morning I am down to 233 Lbs.
You wanna get under 200lbs, ditch the dairy! It’s one thing for a 400lb dude to drop down to 300 chugging cream, sour cream, and cream cheese. But when you want to get lean, you’ve got to give us the comfort foods.
I recently got joint pain in my Fingers (went carnivore 4 weeks ago) now on the search for the cause but I really don't want to cut out dairy or the kiwi/ Papaya I consume once in a while to at least maintain my tiny weight 😂..
As a person of African/Caribbean descent, I can absolutely attest to what Dr.Berry is talking about. I cut out dairy just over 2 years ago, and my joints stopped aching, energy levels went through the roof, and I've restarted pursuing hobbies that I had completely forgotten about. This man speaks the truth.
Ok, in yr case I understand. He's an alarmist, getting someones, attention to click. Bait and click. He's doing this reporting for monetary gain, not out of his heart.
I have noticed that my depression and anxiety are loads better when I avoid dairy. I started with cutting out milk and only used heavy cream in my coffee. For a while that was enough but then I noticed my anxiety and depression making "a comeback", if you will, and it was only when I cut the cream that my energy and moods immediately improved. I can get away with small amounts of butter and good quality cheese (for a "treat" more or less) but I try avoid dairy as much as possible because I feel better than I have felt my whole life. My hashimoto's is going into remission, I have energy for the first time in my life, and I'm HAPPY again. Definitely take what this doctor says seriously. It may be hard to give things up initially (especially dairy, as it's so addictive I have noticed) but the results are worth it!
Long story short. My wife in one day went from completely healthy to being completely incapacitated for 10 months with nausea & vertigo. She saw numerous specialist, had every scan and lab test run and in the hospital several times; they were saying it was in her mind. They had NO CLUE. She was in the hospital at 96 lbs and being fed Ensure (milk based) when the results of a previously ordered test showed she suddenly developed a SEVERE intolerance for anything dairy; casine, whey, etc. My eyes were opened to the health care system and not in a good way. Between hospital stays, scans, tests; many tens of thousands of dollars was paid. However, the $300 lab test that found the problem was not paid because it was ordered by a Naturopath.
You are so right, medical system is good for many things but it is dangerous in many ways due to lack of knowledge in some basic stuff such as nutrition.
WOW! Thank you for sharing Bruce!! I sure hope your wife is feeling better now🙏 Tomorrow will be my first day dairy free. I sure hope that helps me with inflammation. I've already cut out all added sugar, gluten and I've been doing keto so I was still using butter and heavy cream, and my inflammation had gone down a lot after quitting sugar and gluten, I had also stopped heavy cream in my coffee and I just started having some heavy cream in my coffee again. All of a sudden inflammation is back and my typical knee inflammation came back. My back hurts so much and I have no energy and just want to be in bed all day but I can't because I have 2 high school kids to take to school and a 5 year old I'm homeschooling. I really pray cutting out dairy 100% will help me feel better🙏 I don't my medical insurance so I can't just go to the doctor and this body pain is so scary!! Wish me luck and thanks again for sharing. I think I'm going to look for a lab to get the test your wife got that gave you the answer she needed. D9 you know wh a t the test name is to see if it's the dairy? I will read your post again, I'm sure I missed it 😅 I'm to tired of not being able to sleep right with so much pain. Blessings and good wishes for your family.
I once worked with a nutritionist who required that I completely eliminate dairy for 2 months, which I did. It made absolutely no difference. Not saying Dr. Berry is wrong at all. It just depends on your individual makeup. My ancestors were dairy people.
yeah same here, I cut out whey protein, instead having vegan protein powder, and lowered my food dairy consumption for quite a few months, and it didnt make any difference
@@jackberetta1 Raw milk is more dangerous then a pasteurised milk my friend, In USA where in some states you can buy raw milk has caused food poisoning due to many bacterias present in milk.
So, 25 years ago my husband used to get horrible sinus headaches, and he used to love eating bowls of cereal… Once I convinced him that the milk was most likely the cause, and he dropped it… No more headaches! Thanks Doc! There are a few Dr.’s like you here on UA-cam that offer us their years of medical studies at no charge and what a blessing! I pray God blesses you for your sacrifice of time and sincere concern for the health of your fellow humans! Love from NY. 🌼Lily🌼
Being from a dairy family background, I was always told "milk is for kids, butter and cheese is for adults" (of course the dairy we were talking about was from tit to tank to table, raw unpasteurized milk. It still had all of the cream and butter fats in it). Great info Doc!!! God Bless!
Unpasteurized is the best. For adults too! If it didn't have so much sugar, I would drink it more often. I personally believe its the killing of the good bacteria in pasteurized milk that's the problem and why it causes so many problems for people. I've even heard that dairy intolerant people can drink unpasteurized milk.
My father's family were dairy farmers and they all drank several glasses of milk a day. We also are all very tall. Eating a lot of protein helps with height, but milk also contains protein.
@@angelrebekah9153 our research would lead us to believe you are correct. The large problems we’ve seen have been since we started pasturing milk. We have seen first hand that lactose intolerant people can drink unpasteurized milk and don’t have the problems they would normally have. We believe there are naturally occurring bacteria in milk that helps break down the milk in the digestive system.
My mothers family were dairy farmers jersey cows, on good Aus native pastures with interesting flavours. Our bloodline heritage was milk drinkers. I grew up on raw milk, drank glass or two each meal, and on coming home from school. We had 2 big jars of thick cream each week. My family lived healthy good looking and well to 100. I eat cream, butter and cheese. We don’t do any of the things he described. Fat is great, needs 2 enzymes to get energy out of it compared with 22 enzymes to get energy out of carbohydrates with issues. I was 49 kilos at 5’5” at 20 and in my 20s while being highly active in sport at high level. No obesity. Yoghurt micro organisms are killed off in the stomach.
I started on Keto in March 2021. I had stopped diary except for fatty cheeses and heavy cream. I was using heavy cream ( a lot of it) daily for over a week until the inflammation in my knee joints became unbearable. I had no idea it could have been due to my heavy cream consumption until our friend Kevin S suggested for me to try getting off the cream for a week. Well, that was the root of the problem alright and now I understand why. But I am sad because heavy cream tastes soooo good! But I need to walk without pain so I made the right decision.
I did keto for a week, I'm slim and healthy but wanted to optimise my health. I added heavy cream to everything and within days i started craving it. One day I went soooo overboard and binged on a tub of clotted cream. Oh my goodness!! An hour or so later my airways tightened and I was struggling to breathe! I've never panicked so much in my life
I did keto and Intermittent Fasting for 2.5 years and my fat disappeared. Its the best things I've found. However I'm now looking at dairy for inflammation as I've consumed A LOT of dairy
Thank you for this. I stopped drinking milk 6 weeks ago, and my body feels renewed. Inflammation gone, energy up, skin soft, mood much improved. I feel like my body was invaded by tiny parasite that have now died off. It was tough and I craved milk in my tea especially but now feeling free. Thank you. Bless you.
Dairy is the hardest thing for me to give up and in the back of my mind I'm thinking, it really needs to go. I have migraines, psoriatic arthritis, and more recently, I found out I have an autoimmune version of alopecia. It's so hard to accept that after giving up sugar, bread, rice, potatoes, etc. that I need to give up something else I love.
I've given up most things. Sugar and dairy is the hardest. I don't have yoghurts or cow's milk anymore, but I still have cheese every now and then, maybe once a week with one meal.
Cheryle Breaux I believe I have alopecia. Just discovered a bald spot and my hair is thinning 😦. Perhaps I need to quit dairy. “ big sigh”. Thanks for sharing your story.
BG Ueberdenteich keeping in mind that swerve has sugar alcohols in it which often cause bowel disfunction and discomfort. Someone who does not know this might not realise that is the cause.
My wife is lactose intolerant with store bought pasteurized milk. We found that raw milk does not give her stomach problems. From what I can understand is we need the full spectrum of bacteria which is destroyed when milk is pasteurized.
You know, when I was a kid on London, little blue tits used to fly down and break into the milk bottles left on the doorstep. They would steal the cream on the top of the milk. That was a long time ago before they messed with it.
I don't know how and why but while I was buying raw milk for my family I never had any problem drinking it. I stopped breastfeeding my daughter at 7 months and started giving her raw milk. She never had any problems and thrived so well on it. Meanwhile I raised my son on formula and health wise there is huge difference between the two. My girl is 10 years old and hardly ever gets sick, like ever! 12 year old boy is a different story. I'm contemplating of starting the raw milk again but the farm is super far now since we have moved.
Dr. Berry, your advice has changed my entire perception of health and fat loss. However, this video was a revelation to me. For YEARS, I have had horrific finger infections. Chronic paronychia. In 2017, I had surgeries to completely remove 7 of my finger nails and their nail beds. I also had crescent incisions in each of those fingers. For a very short time, it seemed like there was an improvement. Now, I have lost all of the 7 nails that had tried to grow back, and have recurring infections again. What I just realized during this video is that my consumption of dairy products had increased before the surgeries and after. I am ashamed to tell you just how much cheese and ice cream, etc. that I have been eating. My weight had gone up to 141, and I am 5’ 7” tall. For the past three days, I have been doing 2 eggs, some bacon, and steak, with OMAD. I am 138 as of this morning. I drink black coffee only in the mornings, one cup of green tea and water the rest of the day. I am in optimal ketosis, according to the strips. But, the most AMAZING result is that already my fingers have started to improve! I will continue this journey and hope that I might actually experience complete healing of my hands, as well as get back to my best weight (between 117 and 125). ALL of the 8 doctors, dermatologists, and surgeons that I have seen have assured me that there are no options left to me. NONE ever mentioned my diet or asked me, “What are you eating on a daily basis?” I believe it was Hippocrates who stated, “Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food.”
I gave up milk for 45 years until I learned about the difference between the two caseins: A1 beta-casein. Milk from breeds of cows that originated in northern Europe is generally high in A1 beta-casein. These breeds include Holstein, Friesian, Ayrshire, and British Shorthorn. A2 beta-casein. Milk that is high in A2 beta-casein is mainly found in breeds that originated in the Channel Islands and southern France. These include Guernsey, Jersey, Charolais, and Limousin cows. A1 casein promotes a terrible gut response while A2 does not. You are so spot on about other nutritional advice. I was surprised you didn't mention this distinction.
The only dairy I consume is homemade kefir and matsoni yogurt made from raw A2 100 percent grass fed cow milk. I have no issues with it and I am super lean.
@Yeshua Messiah My Adonai My Savior I am the same way. I get diarrhea and very painful stomach problems. Try making your own (homemade) kefir. I let it ferment 4-5 days.
I cut out about 80 to 90% of dairy from my diet and i saw a big change. I still eat very small amounts of greek yogurt, feta cheese and butter. I refuse to give up those entirely. The difference is huge. Also cut out a lot of bread and pasta. My energy is so high, skin looks clear and bright, and my mental state is better.
You are so right about the correlation between dairy and joint and muscular pain. I was experiencing severe piriformis syndrome (Chronic pain in the buttock), and sciatica down my right leg. The pain was so severe that I was miserably in pain 24-hrs a day. I couldn't sleep or do my job for almost a year. I had an MRI done and started fearing that I might have to go for a lumber spine surgery or end up on a wheelchair at some point in my life. I stopped adding yogurt to the Tandoori chicken which I was eating for super every night, and my pain was gone starting the next day without yogurt. When I tried drinking a glass of milk about a month later, I would get severe pain all over my body as if I was suffering from Fibromyalgia. I am totally convinced that dairy in any form is like poison to me. Thanks to all the info from UA-cam channels
I was FORCED to drink milk as a five-year-old at school. They would give each kid a carton, and you couldn't go out to play until you drank it. I would refuse, but a few times the teacher would bully me into drinking it. It would make me have the worst stomach pains, bloat, and cramping. I learned to just refuse it no matter the consequences.
I stopped milk about 15 years ago. I only use cream and I use cream as I would milk. Life without cream, butter or cheddar cheese, would be very unpleasant. Thank you for this vid.
Cheese and cream are just concentrated forms of milk, so you haven't done yourself any good by just quitting milk. All the hormones and antibiotics are more concentrated in cheese.
@@TeeGar Did you watch the video? When one substitutes cream or butter for milk, they are still consuming a form of milk, yes; however, these sources have more milk fat and much less lactose, and it's the lactose that's problematic for most people. The "hormones and antibiotics" contained in milk is a different discussion entirely. Neither of those were brought up in the video, nor were they mentioned by the person you're responding to.
I stopped drinking cream in my coffee(drank 4-5 cups a day). When I went on an exclusion diet a few months ago, dairy was the first component I eliminated. Within 2 days, my debilitating sciatica pain was gone. None of my doctors believed me, but I knew there was a direct correlation between the sciatica inflammation pain and the dairy. Haven’t had 1 day of sciatica pain since I removed dairy.
RJL, I'm the same way. I had to give up heavy cream in my coffee too. I even tried the A2 heavy cream, and it was the same thing. My lower back which has severe arthritis would only be worse with cream in my diet. It wasn't worth it to me anymore, and I love cream. It has been said that if you love something so much, you could have an allergy to it. That's my problem with cream so I avoid it now. I'm glad to hear your sciatica is better as well!!
Interesting information 🤔 so i drink Almond milk because of my wife's protein shakes but did notice my knee that is injured hurts more when I drink reg milk and my sciatic nerve starts to (pinch) bother me... thx for your feedback, it's making sense now
I drink milk, I've never had any problems at all. No stomach discomfort, in fact it helps my stomach and makes me feel a lot better after drinking some milk. I'm from the UK and we get our milk from our local farm, it is gently pasteurised.
@Zeus-rq5wn well most people i know including me can do fine with milk. Sometimes carnivores are a bit overdramatic and forget we humans can eat most things and wont die. I would say that if you have serious issues with milk you are the exception and not the rule, not us normal people who arent allergic
I drink milk too. Americans have gotten extremely lazy. I remember when everyone mowed their own lawn and did physically demanding jobs. They want to blame fatness on food but not their own lazy asses.
I’ve been lactose intolerant my entire life ( I’m 41). This year I started drinking Raw Milk (Not pasteurized or homogenized). I have none of my common symptoms (all gross so I’ll leave them off). It’s been a game changer. I agree with everything doctor Berry says about milk you buy from the store. Raw milk is different, it has everything you need in it to digest it.
So many people I know that have gone RAW have MUCH better health effects. Pasteurized or homogenized dairy (many federal & state laws require it now) appears to remove the healthful benefits.
@@KC-gh1li Farms, direct. I'm in Texas, they are easy to find. I've heard that some draconian tyrannical states have outlawed the sale of Raw Milk. Unbelievable if so.
I suffered from sinus induced migraines since around 5 or 6 yrs old. Didn't figure out it was dairy doing it to me until 2 yrs ago at 36 when I started keto. Mind blowing
My asthma and chronic sinus, ear and throat issues went away on Keto. I only use heavy cream, butter and cheese. Zero milk. Not buying the Keto ice cream since it can be an overeating trigger for me.
Same here except it was later for me, 12 yo or so , Before that I was living in central america drinking raw milk from grass fed cows. I'm 44 yo now and cured my allergies or as close as possible by drinking a small amount of raw milk from grass fed cows 2 to 3 times every day. Not all milk works, depends of the type of cow (not the same casein depending on the breed) how they're fed and maybe other factors, anyway I've found 3 brands that work for me and stick to those.
Thank you for this information, Dr. Berry. Today is Monday, Dec. 28, 2020, and I'm in the middle of GI distress that is keeping me close to the porcelain throne constantly---and I just had a cream cheese-loaded fat bomb at the end of my OMAD today. My system reacts within minutes to such stressors, but I couldn't figure out what the culprit was until I listened to you in this video. Yet another genre of food that I have to eliminate from my diet. I was keto for three months, but after having COVID last month, and being unable to eat for almost six full days, I realized when I did eat again that all raw vegetables are out because my system can't handle them. Now I'm almost 100% carnivore, but will have to totally eliminate dairy except ghee (DEEP SIGH). As my closest friend has said about herself and me (we both experience GI distress), "About all that's left for us is water and air, and the quality of those in this age is highly suspect!"
Being from Punjab India, Ghee is the staple FAT source we are using since the culture goes back. Our ancestors found out that long time ago, but this Low FAT/Low salt advertisement made us so sick and this we are today suffering from all sort of ailments. I have one word for this Video... WOW.....or may Incredible hard choice to make. Beautiful explanation of such as sticky topic. My paeronship I paid off. I Gonna share the knowledge/link on my own channels. Thanks Doc..keep helping us to help others.
I am a yemnite jew, ghee or samna in arabic is a staple of our cuisines, when we came to Israel, since rationing took place back then we turned to plant seed oil since butter was expensive. Yementes were considered the healthiest prettiest people here back in the day, and were known to be bulletproof and live to 100+ easily... Being tall and lean now it isn't the case so much
Thank you so much for making this video! I can't believe in all my years that this is the first time I'm hearing this about dairy. I always knew about lactose intolerance in people, but I never realized until seeing this video that the proteins in milk could actually cause inflammation in the joints and skin. At least anecdotally in our family I believe you are spot on. A few months ago I started getting hooked on iced coffee, but the only way I can drink it is with a ton of half and half. I started drinking it every morning in the largest size cup (I think 24 oz. or more) which meant a LOT of cream. A few weeks later I suddenly started having really bad aching pain in my lower back and right shoulder (with no acute injury to either). I assumed I must have slept the wrong way, but the pain never went away from that point on. Ironically, for the last week and a half I got really busy and skipped the iced coffee in the morning, and noticed about a couple of days later that the pain in both areas started to go away - it's now been completely gone for the last 3 days. I had assumed that the heating pad and Motrin (which I'm now no longer taking) were what finally resolved it, but today I just saw your video and am stunned to think that all the cream I was adding to the iced coffee might have been what brought it all on in the first place! Then I realized that my son also just started drinking iced coffee the same time I did, and the same way I was preparing it because he also liked it that way, and shortly after his forehead started breaking out with acne (he's 16 and his face had been completely clear up to this point). Likewise, my daughter all of a sudden started drinking a ton of milk when she was around 11-12 and the same thing happened to her. She's now 21 and besides acne, has also had a lot of various inflammatory conditions of her skin. I shared your video with both her and my son today and and they are both going to try to stop all dairy for a couple of weeks to see if it helps their skin. Both of them have been to dermatologists (my son recently because of the acne) and it's hard to believe that the doctor never thought to mention dairy to either of them as at least a potential contributor to their issues. Your video also now has me wondering if it's the MILK in milk chocolate, rather than the chocolate itself, which may be the real culprit with teen acne. Anyway, this may well be one of the most helpful health type videos I've ever seen! Thanks so much for this helpful information!!
Heavy skim milk drinker as a kid; continued to consume dairy products until I was in my mid-30s. By then my sinuses were constantly stuffy and I had a runny nose, as if having seasonal allergy symptoms. Thought I was allergic to my home. Started researching and decided to try quitting dairy. Problem solved! Tried the "eat pizza" test a couple times - next day, stuffy sinuses. Haven't had dairy for about 8 years, but added clarified butter since going low-carb / ketovore in the last year. No probs w/ the fats only. Why consume dairy when you can eat a ribeye? Best regards to you and yours Dr. Berry!
I grew up on a small dairy farm. I was born in 1967. We drank unpasteurized milk daily (every meal and in between). Now my wife buys milk in the store. I also retired after working 31 years in the creamery where my dad and uncle shipped their milk. We produced butter and powdered milk. I still have trouble skipping my milk. On hunting trips we won't take milk but do talk butter and cheese. And vacation I won't have milk every day. First thing when I get home is chug a tall glass of cold milk. I love milk and many other dairy products. The more I watch this channel the more I like it. But I won't stop my milk.
@@missingno88it's true... Iv been off cheese n milk for 10 days now, my knees aren't swollen and my shoulders have full mobility... Feel like I'm elastic, fantastic... Like a gazelle, and I'm 45 years old
@@90daydifferenceI never really ate alot of butter.. Still use it in cooking if required, little bit butter on potatoes with dill, have it with Salmon
I'm keto lost around 80 lbs 68 yrs old. Being keto I really ate a ton of cheese and used heavy cream in my coffee. About 3 months ago I developed dermatitis on my hands cracks developed between my fingers. Also all around my mouth was swollen and red like a burn. My holistic person tested my for dairy and I showed non tolerant! Given it up for 6 weeks snuck in heavy cream in my coffee for 3 days and my lips started swelling up again. I'm having alergy tests done by a alergy clinic in the next few week to confirm but I'm convinced I need to be dairy free. My brain feels so much clearer and I can breath through my nose 24/7! I totally agreed with Dr Berry!
Yep, I was taught this decades ago per my ND. And have been unable to digest milk effectively since a child. WE are the only mammal that continues to do dairy past the weaning age. And I suspect our ancient ancestors were not able to access it regularly (no cows available - and milking a Mammoth had its drawbacks - lol) It was always amazing how the industry - Medical and dairy both promoted milk as a necessity to a healthy diet. I was tested for my reactive's, and dairy was high on the list.
Excellent video. Since I gave up heavy cream in my coffee, finally busted through my plateau and have lost three pounds. I try and remember that milk is produced by the mother to help her baby grow. I don't need to grow anymore.
Hi Dr Berry, we meet couple of years ago in a beach in Florida… I was the one with the “brains” (hope that help to remember). It is possible to do an update video about this but taking into consideration milk type A1 vs A2? I could not tolerate milk my entire life… but during my time in Florida, I manage to find a local farm that had A2 type raw milk and the experience was totally different. I could even drink a glass without any problem. One of the biggest difference between A1 milk and A2 milk is the betacasein protein. Most milk or all commercial milk in the western side is A1 type (genetically altered milk due to cross breeding), A2 milk is from cows that still have “their original” DNA and not cross breed, so to speak.
I was raised in south America and my grandma had a farm with cows and she always gave me milk right from the cow NEVER NEVER had any issues until I came to this country and never figured it out what it was! Duh!!! It’s pasteurized AND GRAIN FED not RAW and grass fed like I WAS RAISED ON! Very hard to find!
@@carolinemcallister1473 I live by a Horizon dairy farm. I never, I mean NEVER see their cows in the pasture. They are always at the feed trough. As long as they have "access" to pasture, the Gov't allows them to be certified as grass fed. I can only assume they are at least eating organic feed. PS: the same for chicken farms. The ckns can walk thru this little window, down the ramp to a fenced in grassy area. But I've never seen a single ckn outside. Its sad. I'm lucky that I live in a rural area where there are small farms and farmers markets. I buy my proteins from them.
I am fortunate enough to have access to raw milk … I agree that pasteurized milk products aren’t worth consuming however since adding raw milk to my diet my gut health has improved tremendously.. The good bacteria and probiotics available in Raw milk has helped me ..
As a person of Scottish decent, I can absolutely digest dairy. The issue was more of one of staying on keto and avoiding lactose. That’s why I make my own triple strength kefir. Not the store bought stuff.
I think you'll find there's not a lot in pure cream. I noticed a huge amount of sweetness when I got a coffee with milk. I always make it with cream at home. I got quite a shock. If you can get pure cream in Scotland and I'm sure you can. It isn't cheap though.
I'm 56 and reduced milk quite a bit due to the sugar content so I only drink once a week. I eat large amounts of cheese, Greek yoghurt and cream though. Plus I drink Kefir a couple of times a week. For me this works great.
Good on ya. There really isn't that much sugar in milk but I fully understand where you're coming from. I can't eat cheese, there's something alive in cheese that give my joints hell but I drink an enormous amount of milk, I know what's good for me. Cream in my coffee and cook often with butter or ghee.
As an avid bodybuilder over the last 45 years & almost 60 years of age, I have consumed dairy in abundance as many thousands of other bodybuilders do, both whey & Caessien protein is consumed at around 1- 2 grams per pound of body weight on a daily basis. My point being is i have never been in hospital, haven't had a flu in over 12 years weight 90 kg @ 5 10 height with around 12 -15 % body fat all year round, also no heart problems, diabetes, and perfect blood pressure, i weight train 1 hr a day 5 days a week heavy with low reps, if dairy is so bad i must be a paradox to your analogy doc.
72 and similar story . See a doctor maybe once every 2-3 yrs or so for mandatory check up.Confused now with 2 gallons of milk I have in the fridge (usual) and Gold standard whey protein twice daily. So, are we unhealthy ? No headaches, stomach aches, no meds ..
I figure I am an anomaly because ghee upsets my system quite drastically yet butter does not. I avoid all other dairy....yet I have tried ghee many times Love this video because it sums up what I preach so I shared it all over !!
Thank you for this Dr Berry. Just prepping for my keto journey. I have a lot of inflamation in my joints that I want to be rid of permintently. I eliminated all dairy except heavy cream and butter but the inflamation remains. I will now eliminate everything except clarified butter and see what happens with my inflamation 👍🏻👍🏻
I don't really agree with this video. I think milk is great for adults that need to gain weight. I think it helped me get big and strong. Also, I am of German blood and have no problems with dairy. I love it.
I did carnivore for a couple months before getting knocked off the wagon, but even on the diet I didn't give up milk. I absolutely love it. I still felt so much better than on a carb rich processed diet, and I noticed a huge reduction (actually elimination) of my joint pain and inflammation. As I am starting to get back on the carnivore diet I may at some point decide to cut out milk, but I'm not sure I will fully give it up. I really do just love milk. I am NOT recommending anyone else drink milk or going against anything Dr. Berry is saying. I am purely an advocate of individual health and my individual experience may or may not resemble anyone else's. I didn't have any kind of symptom that would have made me think milk was an issue, so I didn't cut it out completely.
Yea I drank milk by the gallons. Raw for a year, pasteurized too, never had a problem. 21 and still didnt lose the ability to digest it like he claims, I agree with 99% of all his topics, just not this one.
I'm 60 years old, never stopped drinking milk and have no issues with it. Except for the jug milk, it has sugar. So I started mixing heavy whipping cream and water to drink. I really like it. No surgery taste. I don't see anything wrong with dairy but each person is different when it comes to diet.
Yes , this is hard to do. I’m 62…. 2 months carnivore, milk has been my go to. I’m sure once I am fully detoxed I’ll get rid of it. I can afford the weight, it’s mental right now. If a glass of milk gets me thru instead of eating poison, I’ll take it 😂
I stopped eating dairy a few years ago when I was having problems with digestion, like I wasn't absorbing food right. I kept getting dehydrated too. I was always sensitive to dairy but then I decided to cut it out altogether and the issues went away. Now I do eat butter and have started using ghee. I've also just recently tried some goat cheese, which I can tolerate in small amounts only.
I can't tell you HOW HELPFUL this video is. Why Why Why isn't this public information? I wish the CDC could spread THIS instead of fear about other things. Thank you SO MUCH, Dr. Berry. THANK YOU!
I been constipated for years. and I hardly ever ate or drank dairy. Just started using raw milk and heavy cream and my bowels started to work on their own. Right now I'm just testing the dairy to see how it affects me in the long run.
@@Jay-hs1vq I totally agree there is a difference between Raw milk and pasteurized milk. I drink full fat raw milk every morning. It complements my Keto lifestyle and I lose weight every week and feel great. The natural bacterial, that is killed in pasteurization, in raw milk helps my gut environment. There are some people that can’t tolerate lactate but that is only some. The milk substitutes are packed with additives to include different types of sugar.
I hope to hear your results too! I have had at least 1 liter milk every day for more than 30 years, and never experienced any side effects from it. Tried two weeks without, because I was at a place where I couldn’t get it, and felt no difference. Since then I just thought that we humans can be quite different in how we tolerate certain food-items (I do not seem to do well on oat).
I love milk. I drank whole milk when I was pregnant and was gaining too much weight. That was in 1986. The Dr asked me what I was eating and drinking. I told him about 5 glasses of milk a day. I thought I was doing the right thing. Anyway the kid is now 35 with twins. I still love my cream in my coffee.
Growing up all I ever drank was fresh milk from our bulk tank. When I started buying milk from grocery store I ended up getting sick. 5 years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter I craved milk terrible. Found the only milk my body would tolerate was fresh from the farm. Now since doing keto I steer clear of all dairy.
I've been full carnivore for 4 months and it's been one of the best decisions of my life for bothe mental and physical health; that being said this last month my dairy intake has skyrocketed , well my progress has plateaued and begun to reverse now I know why thank you so much for your wealth of knowledge and experience doc.
I had asma attacks and chest infections and bad allergy to dust mites, which got worse as I got older. Gave up all dairy products at about 60yrs. Now 71yrs, no prob with the above. In fact I have no health probs at all
I absolutely love milk, I could drink it all day. I have no adverse symptoms from it at all (migraines, skin conditions, digestive issues, inflammation) but I still feel I should give it up. I eat almost entirely a carnivore diet (and feel great for it) but this is the last hurdle for me. I love milk.
They say anything you crave your allergic to.....it causes cravings to give you a bit of the hair of the dog that bit you so you don't have huge reactions....mine is icecream made of custard. Don't drink milk or put it in anything....don't eat cheeses. All that causes 💩 poo.
Older mammals will drink milk if an opportunity arises. They love it. My dogs, cats, other momma cows with other cows will drink milk off eachother and more. It may not be the staple of their diet but they still do it and love it. I also think it has to do with the milk being pasteurized. We've drank milk as a species for a very long time. We've only been pasturizing it since the turn of industry and that's when milk issues started coming up for people.
We just had our 8 year old cow drink off one of the 3 year old cows lol. Was quite the sight to see! We have 3 Jersey cows, I can't have dairy cuz of my Hashimoto's but the rest of my family gets all the raw milk they can get after the calves get what they want!
I was taking raw milk too for a few weeks before the farm stopped I think because of covid. My gut felt so much better and tighter when I was on it and I suffer from Crohn's.
Eliminating Dairy cleared up my acne completely. Dr. Barry, please speak to the types of hormones that are in cow's milk or that are given to Cows as they are farmed for milk
I found out in the past year or so that all forms of dairy cause an inflammatory response because i will get tons of congestion and drainage overnight and early into the next day. When i stop it mostly goes away. When i eat it comes back
Milk isn't the same any more because the way it's processed denatures the proteins and that causes a lot more problems than lactose does for most people.
Tip for coffee drinkers: At one time I used a lot of heavy cream in my coffee. I tried switching to black coffee but that was an utter failure. Slowly over time, I gradually made the switch to heavy cream to grass fed butter. I'm now very slowly reducing the butter. It's been a slow but easy process and I've continued to enjoy my morning coffee along the way. The plan is to come close if not completely eliminating it. I like the idea of making progress.
I love heavy whipping cream in my coffee, but wanted to fall in love with black coffee to reduce the calories and possible inflammation from extra dairy. I bought a French Press from Walmart and I buy high quality coffee (currently Peet’s Major Dickason’s blend Dark Roast). It’s made a difference drinking my coffee black because the flavor is so appealing.
@@anandazen30 me too..wish I could QUIT Im addicted to it and have 2 cups in the a.m. I need to quit cause it gives me bad acid reflux and screws up my stomach and nerves even though I drink organic low acid coffee...bummed Im addicted
Shame you didnt mention a1 vs a2, raw vs pasteurized and the fact that lactase is present in raw milk, the nutrient and fatty acid profile. Dairy can really be a superfood if it is high quality and from a trusted source.
@@MaksDrahan you got it. Thank you for explaining A1 and A2, hope Dr. review this video and make it clear, it’s important to start coming across with strait forward information.
You are totally phenomanal. I love how talk TO us, and now down to us. I love your humor and when you have your wife on. You have clarified so much. My husband i are doing this together. Day five so far. SO far feeling better. Thank you so much. 💯❤
As a Mexican American growing up drinking milk when eating pancakes or cereal, it was never a problem drank protein shakes and hole milk and 2% , once I hit 27 years old I became lactose intolerant and now get the worse stomach pains and run to the bathroom 🚽, I went to the doctor and I couldn’t believe I was lactose now, my dad has been drinking coffee with milk for 40 years and my family can still drink milk, once I cut off milk and sour cream on my tacos and other dairy products, I noticed my skin got clearer my stomach is flat, I don’t get cold or flus that often maybe once every few years
OMG. After months (okay years)of suffering with stomach, “arthritis “ and digestive issues and after eliminating literally everything and I mean every single thing except meat... and my coffee cream ?!? That was the only thing left. It’s been 72 hours without that. *no stomach irritation and no knuckle pains* I just never put the facts to the test. I hope to resolve my stomach ulceration. Thanks. It’s been life altering and oh ya when I put salt in my coffee it takes over my cream craving..which I don’t have now. Lol
I was doing so great on keto. All my symptoms where starting to fade. Until I ate a bit of hard cheese. I couldn't sleep that night, my face and hair got oily immediately. The next day I had lower energy. The next day a ate a bit more of cheese and the same thing happened, plus gas and constant trips to pee at night, and my nose got stuffed again. I'm shocked.
Back in the day, bodybuilders drank a gallon of whole milk a day. Today I still use lactose free whole milk to supplement my diet. Great stuff. I live by it.
Hi Ken isn't the big problem with diary the processing that it goes through? I wish you would talk about raw vs pasteurised/homogenised and how damaging these processes are. I understand children who grow up on raw cow's milk have much less asthma for example?
My mother, now 82, was raised on a dairy. Her dad used to milk the best cow, put the milk in bottle, and would hand it to my grandmother through the house window
I have recently figured out (took me 65 years) to figure out that I needed to eliminate milk, soft cheeses & yogurts because of inflammation. I now use butter, ghee.
Eliminating dairy from my diet was one of the best decisions in my life. No more gastric problems, no more weird fatige and headaches. Also, my skin looked insanely better after just few weeks. Dairy is truly poison for some of us.
I wish cutting it out would do all that for me. Only thing that got better is digestive issues :-/ still ache, still tired, still have the skin of a 13-year-old in my mid-thirties but now I've got wrinkles too...
You forgot about the water% of all these dairy foods, which is often very high. Dairy is more than fat+protein+carbohydrate. Otherwise, I agree that this is generally good advice.
Thank you Dr. Berry I was under the impression that butter was 100% fat so I felt free on a ketogenic diet to consume about as much as I want. I accidentally left the stove burner on low and on the shelf above the stove I had a container with butter in it over a period of several hours it melted the butter into liquid and I was very surprised to see several droplets of what appeared to be milk I thought right then this is not pure fat. I'm a 77-year-old male and in my younger years I drank all the milk and ice cream that I wanted but I have noticed as I'm getting older I do not think that dairy products agrees with me like it did when I was younger. Anyway to older seniors out there like me even if you've never been bothered with dairy before but now that you're in your late 60s 70s or higher maybe that's not the case anymore anyway definitely something to think about.
Well great video. I developed irritated bowel syndrome with flair ups also had very dry cracked knuckles. The dry hands I put off as living in Arizona & being in the construction industry. Until one day the dry hands spread to my forearms, then a itching rash on my legs then spread to my stomach. Cutting to what I did. Went on a sibo diet. No milk , no flour, no corn or potatoes, Tomatoes or beans or sugary fruits like melons/ grapes.For two weeks. Just Free range Beef , Pork, Chicken, an Wild Caught Fish. Then most vegetables except Tomatoes & Beans. Also cut out high sugar fruits for only two weeks. I fasted in the morning drinking only tea & lemon & switching to electrolyte drink homemade with a drizzle of organic apple cider vinegar. One meal at 4-6pm with a probiotic half way through the meal. By day 4 my skin started to stop itching/ eczema & bowel movments returned to much younger days . After two weeks I wanted a glass of Milk so bad. However I found out that whole milk that is Homogenized/Pasturized / altraviolet treated killed off all the natural enzymes in the milk that help the body digest the sugars. I'm from Arizona no dairy farms close by. I wanted to try raw milk , found frezzed dried RAW COW & GOAT Milk week 3 know bathroom visits are great an the eczema is practically gone. Would you do a video on Raw Milk vs Homogenized Pastureized milk. Because I think Raw milk is whole milk an store bought Pastureized milk is a bad idea.
I love raw milk, to me it's so delicious that there's no way I could ever give it up. And no, I'm not fat at all and no allergic reactions that I know of, just love the taste of fresh raw milk! 😊 ❤️ 🐾
I need to understand how the cheeses, heavy cream, butter affect a person after a MCI heart attack. I have pored over your videos and can't find anything specifically for diabetes 2, prior heart attack and dairy, even the stuff you love [I love them too] thank you Doc. I hope you see this.
@@successfulchicken1384 It’s hard too watch Dr Berg since hearing his sons story and experience with leaving the Scientology church and being cut off by his parents and not allowed to ever see his niece again for leaving for his own mental health.
Wow!!!! So thankful to you Dr. Berry for sharing this information with us. I have always felt sick from my stomach every time I consume dairy products. I understand why now. I am Hispanic, and I have suffered from acne since I moved to the US. Thank you again and by the way, thank you for using simple language to explain difficult topics. God Bless you!
Great info, thanks for sharing! Can you please do a Ghee vs Beef Tallow video comparing the benefits of using each one for cooking and adding to lean meat to fatten up the meal? That would be amazing😁
I eat meat and eggs only but since carnivore some yougurt, sour cream, cheese from time to time has no effect as before. I think that added with other allergens was the problem
For the majority of Europeans milk used to be a staple food, no digestive problems. They ate mostly milk, breads, potatoes and lived happily to be at least 80, with less illnesses that we experience today.
Dr Ken, Thank you for this video! I was literally considering quitting my heavy cream -in-coffee habit today, because I am certain it is the cause of my inflammation. Thank you for explaining the dairy spectrum! This is so helpful.
I suffered from eczema from drinking milk as a kid, we could never figure out what it was that was causing it and now hearing this it confirms it was the milk that I drank by the gallon.
I stopped drinking milk 1 week ago and I cant beleave the difference! My joints don't ache nearly as much, I have more energy, my sinuses are way clearer, my mood has improved, im less foggyheaded, I used to drink about 1 litre of full cream cows milk every day. I'm very impressed with my results in just 1 week!! Truely AMAZING!
Great video! Loving all information, my world as been turned upsidedown. Everything I thought I knew about nutrition is being contradicted. That can't be an accident😂 I just came across your channel about a week ago and am now on day 4 of carnivore for my autoimmune issues. I am not struggling at all doing this diet, feels very natural and satisfying. I already notice that I have no bloating whatsoever. I eat until I am full, then leave the table feeling like I never ate. Before I had to workout in the mornings and eat at lunch time because I didn't like intense physical activities with a bloated stomach. I can eat carnivore and workout right after and I feel even better than waiting to eat after a workout. I feel super alert and clear minded. So alert and energetic that I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping at night. I am very optimistic about this diet and potentially way of life. Thanks for all this high quality content. I will be consuming it all while I continue with the diet. The more I learn, the more I want to do it😁
I’d love to hear your straight up thoughts on using Niacin (not niacinamide or no flush niacin, just plain old B3), to lower Lp(a), raise HDL and cardiac benefits. Thank you!
Im so glad I found your channel. I have Sjogren, RA, and Fibromyalgia. I just can’t continue with all this pain and exhaustion. Thank you for sharing your story and journey. Gives me hope that one day I can get relief as well.
Doctor, I’m 60, in good health, but having knee pain, doc said they were fine, joint pain in fingers, really bad. And tendon pain in arms. I’m trying to eat a lot of salmon, avocados, healthy salad… am I doing something wrong? Tired of pain.
Makes so much sense, had my gallbladder out and was told my severe cramps and loose stools would stop. Still happens so I stopped drinking it, but HWC and cheese don't bother me. Can't eat ice cream but do ok eating keto enlightened once in a great while. Now it makes sense.
I have lost a lot of weight eating cheese on a keto diet. And i feel good. I also drink whey protein drinks (all low carb, of course). I do tend to eat more goat cheese, though. But i have also lost faster and feel even better with the carnivore diet without dairy.
I drink milk and eat butter. I do get a flare up of psoriasis in my eyebrows. Now I know yo cut milk and butter out. Thank you!!! Your videos while I'm on the carnivore diet is brilliant information for me. Thanks doc. All my love from Liverpool England UK. 👍
As a physician of 37 years now, I recommend your videos weekly. Keep it up.
Good on you!
Need more like you, wish I found one here.
That is awesome! Thank you for being one of the good ones! God bless you!

When I got up to over 400 Lbs I used to drink a lot of whole milk. Now I have cut my dairy back. I still consume butter, heavy cream in my coffee and a limited amount of cheese. But I have given up drinking milk and eating copious amounts of cheese. When I eat too much dairy I itch now. BTW as of this morning I am down to 233 Lbs.
That's very admireable!😅
Ohhhhh Roger, how wonderful ! I am incredibly proud of you for your discipline in your quest to regain your health. Hugs to you !❤️
You wanna get under 200lbs, ditch the dairy!
It’s one thing for a 400lb dude to drop down to 300 chugging cream, sour cream, and cream cheese. But when you want to get lean, you’ve got to give us the comfort foods.
I recently got joint pain in my Fingers (went carnivore 4 weeks ago) now on the search for the cause but I really don't want to cut out dairy or the kiwi/ Papaya I consume once in a while to at least maintain my tiny weight 😂..
What do you do for exercise please.
As a person of African/Caribbean descent, I can absolutely attest to what Dr.Berry is talking about. I cut out dairy just over 2 years ago, and my joints stopped aching, energy levels went through the roof, and I've restarted pursuing hobbies that I had completely forgotten about. This man speaks the truth.
Do you still eat greens like calaloo or eat things like green fig or provisions? That’s my big struggle. Cassava and green banana 😩 and calaloo

I have noticed that my depression and anxiety are loads better when I avoid dairy. I started with cutting out milk and only used heavy cream in my coffee. For a while that was enough but then I noticed my anxiety and depression making "a comeback", if you will, and it was only when I cut the cream that my energy and moods immediately improved. I can get away with small amounts of butter and good quality cheese (for a "treat" more or less) but I try avoid dairy as much as possible because I feel better than I have felt my whole life. My hashimoto's is going into remission, I have energy for the first time in my life, and I'm HAPPY again. Definitely take what this doctor says seriously. It may be hard to give things up initially (especially dairy, as it's so addictive I have noticed) but the results are worth it!
I've been terrible with migraine and psoriasis and gut problems for 30 years. I'm 48 now and thank you!!!
Long story short. My wife in one day went from completely healthy to being completely incapacitated for 10 months with nausea & vertigo. She saw numerous specialist, had every scan and lab test run and in the hospital several times; they were saying it was in her mind. They had NO CLUE. She was in the hospital at 96 lbs and being fed Ensure (milk based) when the results of a previously ordered test showed she suddenly developed a SEVERE intolerance for anything dairy; casine, whey, etc. My eyes were opened to the health care system and not in a good way. Between hospital stays, scans, tests; many tens of thousands of dollars was paid. However, the $300 lab test that found the problem was not paid because it was ordered by a Naturopath.
You are so right, medical system is good for many things but it is dangerous in many ways due to lack of knowledge in some basic stuff such as nutrition.
Health insurance is culprit
😮
WOW! Thank you for sharing Bruce!! I sure hope your wife is feeling better now🙏
Tomorrow will be my first day dairy free. I sure hope that helps me with inflammation. I've already cut out all added sugar, gluten and I've been doing keto so I was still using butter and heavy cream, and my inflammation had gone down a lot after quitting sugar and gluten, I had also stopped heavy cream in my coffee and I just started having some heavy cream in my coffee again. All of a sudden inflammation is back and my typical knee inflammation came back. My back hurts so much and I have no energy and just want to be in bed all day but I can't because I have 2 high school kids to take to school and a 5 year old I'm homeschooling. I really pray cutting out dairy 100% will help me feel better🙏
I don't my medical insurance so I can't just go to the doctor and this body pain is so scary!!
Wish me luck and thanks again for sharing. I think I'm going to look for a lab to get the test your wife got that gave you the answer she needed. D9 you know wh a t the test name is to see if it's the dairy? I will read your post again, I'm sure I missed it 😅 I'm to tired of not being able to sleep right with so much pain.
Blessings and good wishes for your family.
Who was the naturopath
I once worked with a nutritionist who required that I completely eliminate dairy for 2 months, which I did. It made absolutely no difference. Not saying Dr. Berry is wrong at all. It just depends on your individual makeup. My ancestors were dairy people.
most dairy clogs me up even though I am not black or asian genetics.
You're lucky to have had one. It can take several months for food allergies to resolve. Most nutritionists just tow the party line.
Wow So true! Thank you for helping me! I am stopping my dairy, NOW!!! You helped more than any doctor in my LIFE!!!! Your 👏 awesome*
Many people can tolerate it with no problems. I’m one of those people who can tolerate it to a certain amount. Everyone is different.
yeah same here, I cut out whey protein, instead having vegan protein powder, and lowered my food dairy consumption for quite a few months, and it didnt make any difference
Most people with trouble for milk is about pasteurized milk. Raw milk gives a lot less or very miner problems.
@@jackberetta1
Raw milk is more dangerous then a pasteurised milk my friend,
In USA where in some states you can buy raw milk has caused food poisoning due to many bacterias present in milk.
True, I can drink a lot of raw milk with no issues. I don’t drink it every day, but when I do I never get bloated or gassy.
That’s how we’re suppose to drink the milk. Milk with natural enzymes
So, 25 years ago my husband used to get horrible sinus headaches, and he used to love eating bowls of cereal… Once I convinced him that the milk was most likely the cause, and he dropped it… No more headaches!
Thanks Doc! There are a few Dr.’s like you here on UA-cam that offer us their years of medical studies at no charge and what a blessing!
I pray God blesses you for your sacrifice of time and sincere concern for the health of your fellow humans!

Being from a dairy family background, I was always told "milk is for kids, butter and cheese is for adults" (of course the dairy we were talking about was from tit to tank to table, raw unpasteurized milk. It still had all of the cream and butter fats in it).
Great info Doc!!! God Bless!
Unpasteurized is the best. For adults too! If it didn't have so much sugar, I would drink it more often. I personally believe its the killing of the good bacteria in pasteurized milk that's the problem and why it causes so many problems for people. I've even heard that dairy intolerant people can drink unpasteurized milk.
The farmers have the wisdom.😊
Never heard that saying before , easy to remember. Thanks for sharing! God-bless you and yours.
My father's family were dairy farmers and they all drank several glasses of milk a day. We also are all very tall. Eating a lot of protein helps with height, but milk also contains protein.
@@angelrebekah9153 our research would lead us to believe you are correct. The large problems we’ve seen have been since we started pasturing milk. We have seen first hand that lactose intolerant people can drink unpasteurized milk and don’t have the problems they would normally have. We believe there are naturally occurring bacteria in milk that helps break down the milk in the digestive system.
My mothers family were dairy farmers jersey cows, on good Aus native pastures with interesting flavours. Our bloodline heritage was milk drinkers. I grew up on raw milk, drank glass or two each meal, and on coming home from school. We had 2 big jars of thick cream each week. My family lived healthy good looking and well to 100. I eat cream, butter and cheese. We don’t do any of the things he described. Fat is great, needs 2 enzymes to get energy out of it compared with 22 enzymes to get energy out of carbohydrates with issues. I was 49 kilos at 5’5” at 20 and in my 20s while being highly active in sport at high level. No obesity. Yoghurt micro organisms are killed off in the stomach.
I started on Keto in March 2021. I had stopped diary except for fatty cheeses and heavy cream. I was using heavy cream ( a lot of it) daily for over a week until the inflammation in my knee joints became unbearable. I had no idea it could have been due to my heavy cream consumption until our friend Kevin S suggested for me to try getting off the cream for a week. Well, that was the root of the problem alright and now I understand why. But I am sad because heavy cream tastes soooo good! But I need to walk without pain so I made the right decision.
I did keto for a week, I'm slim and healthy but wanted to optimise my health. I added heavy cream to everything and within days i started craving it. One day I went soooo overboard and binged on a tub of clotted cream. Oh my goodness!! An hour or so later my airways tightened and I was struggling to breathe! I've never panicked so much in my life
I did keto and Intermittent Fasting for 2.5 years and my fat disappeared. Its the best things I've found. However I'm now looking at dairy for inflammation as I've consumed A LOT of dairy
@@piperuk5366 sugar plus fat is dangerous
@@szymonbaranowski8184how is fat dangerous?

Thank you for this. I stopped drinking milk 6 weeks ago, and my body feels renewed. Inflammation gone, energy up, skin soft, mood much improved. I feel like my body was invaded by tiny parasite that have now died off. It was tough and I craved milk in my tea especially but now feeling free. Thank you. Bless you.
Dairy is the hardest thing for me to give up and in the back of my mind I'm thinking, it really needs to go. I have migraines, psoriatic arthritis, and more recently, I found out I have an autoimmune version of alopecia. It's so hard to accept that after giving up sugar, bread, rice, potatoes, etc. that I need to give up something else I love.
I've given up most things. Sugar and dairy is the hardest. I don't have yoghurts or cow's milk anymore, but I still have cheese every now and then, maybe once a week with one meal.
Swerve has almost no carbs !
For me giving up on dairy was the worst part also, but after that I became to feel muuuuch better!
Cheryle Breaux I believe I have alopecia. Just discovered a bald spot and my hair is thinning 😦. Perhaps I need to quit dairy. “ big sigh”. Thanks for sharing your story.
BG Ueberdenteich
keeping in mind that swerve has sugar alcohols in it which often cause bowel disfunction and discomfort.
Someone who does not know this might not realise that is the cause.
My wife is lactose intolerant with store bought pasteurized milk. We found that raw milk does not give her stomach problems. From what I can understand is we need the full spectrum of bacteria which is destroyed when milk is pasteurized.
@@darrylh.6829 is your wife eating rice with raw milk
Are you talking about raw milk or the pasteurized store bought poison labeled as milk, because there is a HUGE difference between those 2 thing
You know, when I was a kid on London, little blue tits used to fly down and break into the milk bottles left on the doorstep. They would steal the cream on the top of the milk. That was a long time ago before they messed with it.
I don't know how and why but while I was buying raw milk for my family I never had any problem drinking it. I stopped breastfeeding my daughter at 7 months and started giving her raw milk. She never had any problems and thrived so well on it.
Meanwhile I raised my son on formula and health wise there is huge difference between the two. My girl is 10 years old and hardly ever gets sick, like ever! 12 year old boy is a different story. I'm contemplating of starting the raw milk again but the farm is super far now since we have moved.
Dr. Berry, your advice has changed my entire perception of health and fat loss. However, this video was a revelation to me. For YEARS, I have had horrific finger infections. Chronic paronychia. In 2017, I had surgeries to completely remove 7 of my finger nails and their nail beds. I also had crescent incisions in each of those fingers. For a very short time, it seemed like there was an improvement. Now, I have lost all of the 7 nails that had tried to grow back, and have recurring infections again. What I just realized during this video is that my consumption of dairy products had increased before the surgeries and after. I am ashamed to tell you just how much cheese and ice cream, etc. that I have been eating. My weight had gone up to 141, and I am 5’ 7” tall. For the past three days, I have been doing 2 eggs, some bacon, and steak, with OMAD. I am 138 as of this morning. I drink black coffee only in the mornings, one cup of green tea and water the rest of the day. I am in optimal ketosis, according to the strips. But, the most AMAZING result is that already my fingers have started to improve! I will continue this journey and hope that I might actually experience complete healing of my hands, as well as get back to my best weight (between 117 and 125). ALL of the 8 doctors, dermatologists, and surgeons that I have seen have assured me that there are no options left to me. NONE ever mentioned my diet or asked me, “What are you eating on a daily basis?” I believe it was Hippocrates who stated, “Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food.”
We say in French: "on creuse sa tombe avec sa fourchette" (we dig our grave with our fork).
@@drbbdr On connait les gens a table.
I'm reading your comment eleven months later. Can you update your healing response to less or no dairy? Thankyou
Is that lbs or kgs , if pounds you are under weight !

I gave up milk for 45 years until I learned about the difference between the two caseins: A1 beta-casein. Milk from breeds of cows that originated in northern Europe is generally high in A1 beta-casein. These breeds include Holstein, Friesian, Ayrshire, and British Shorthorn.
A2 beta-casein. Milk that is high in A2 beta-casein is mainly found in breeds that originated in the Channel Islands and southern France. These include Guernsey, Jersey, Charolais, and Limousin cows.
A1 casein promotes a terrible gut response while A2 does not.
You are so spot on about other nutritional advice. I was surprised you didn't mention this distinction.
Thank you for the extra info Cate.
The only dairy I consume is homemade kefir and matsoni yogurt made from raw A2 100 percent grass fed cow milk. I have no issues with it and I am super lean.
Only for some.
Strange, in Scandinavia most people drink some milk and feel great! I think you have been switching the story upside down....
@Yeshua Messiah My Adonai My Savior I am the same way. I get diarrhea and very painful stomach problems. Try making your own (homemade) kefir. I let it ferment 4-5 days.
I cut out about 80 to 90% of dairy from my diet and i saw a big change. I still eat very small amounts of greek yogurt, feta cheese and butter. I refuse to give up those entirely. The difference is huge. Also cut out a lot of bread and pasta. My energy is so high, skin looks clear and bright, and my mental state is better.
You are so right about the correlation between dairy and joint and muscular pain. I was experiencing severe piriformis syndrome (Chronic pain in the buttock), and sciatica down my right leg. The pain was so severe that I was miserably in pain 24-hrs a day. I couldn't sleep or do my job for almost a year. I had an MRI done and started fearing that I might have to go for a lumber spine surgery or end up on a wheelchair at some point in my life. I stopped adding yogurt to the Tandoori chicken which I was eating for super every night, and my pain was gone starting the next day without yogurt. When I tried drinking a glass of milk about a month later, I would get severe pain all over my body as if I was suffering from Fibromyalgia. I am totally convinced that dairy in any form is like poison to me. Thanks to all the info from UA-cam channels
I was FORCED to drink milk as a five-year-old at school. They would give each kid a carton, and you couldn't go out to play until you drank it. I would refuse, but a few times the teacher would bully me into drinking it. It would make me have the worst stomach pains, bloat, and cramping. I learned to just refuse it no matter the consequences.
I can relate. Your comment took me back to the things my mother and my teachers forced me to do, to eat, to think.
Dayum that is terrible. Do you eat any dairy today?
Sounds like you are lactose intolerant. So they didn’t care if you are that way when many people are?
Better to be told to sit out from recess than to suffer all day...you could always play outside after school
that is just criminial
I stopped milk about 15 years ago. I only use cream and I use cream as I would milk. Life without cream, butter or cheddar cheese, would be very unpleasant. Thank you for this vid.
Cheese and cream are just concentrated forms of milk, so you haven't done yourself any good by just quitting milk. All the hormones and antibiotics are more concentrated in cheese.
@@TeeGar Did you watch the video? When one substitutes cream or butter for milk, they are still consuming a form of milk, yes; however, these sources have more milk fat and much less lactose, and it's the lactose that's problematic for most people. The "hormones and antibiotics" contained in milk is a different discussion entirely. Neither of those were brought up in the video, nor were they mentioned by the person you're responding to.
Yes, milk protein called casin can cause cancer due to IGF a groth factor. Too much should be avoided.
lactose free milk not mentioned either, unless I missed it.🙂
I stopped drinking cream in my coffee(drank 4-5 cups a day). When I went on an exclusion diet a few months ago, dairy was the first component I eliminated. Within 2 days, my debilitating sciatica pain was gone. None of my doctors believed me, but I knew there was a direct correlation between the sciatica inflammation pain and the dairy. Haven’t had 1 day of sciatica pain since I removed dairy.
RJL, I'm the same way. I had to give up heavy cream in my coffee too. I even tried the A2 heavy cream, and it was the same thing. My lower back which has severe arthritis would only be worse with cream in my diet. It wasn't worth it to me anymore, and I love cream. It has been said that if you love something so much, you could have an allergy to it. That's my problem with cream so I avoid it now. I'm glad to hear your sciatica is better as well!!
@@crh251 I like unsweetened almond and coconut milk tastes great and none of the negatives of dairy
It's their job to gaslight patients and only prescribe useless drugs.
Interesting information 🤔 so i drink Almond milk because of my wife's protein shakes but did notice my knee that is injured hurts more when I drink reg milk and my sciatic nerve starts to (pinch) bother me... thx for your feedback, it's making sense now
Cream in coffee is a barbarism
I drink milk, I've never had any problems at all. No stomach discomfort, in fact it helps my stomach and makes me feel a lot better after drinking some milk.
I'm from the UK and we get our milk from our local farm, it is gently pasteurised.
You're the exception not the rule.
@Zeus-rq5wn well most people i know including me can do fine with milk. Sometimes carnivores are a bit overdramatic and forget we humans can eat most things and wont die. I would say that if you have serious issues with milk you are the exception and not the rule, not us normal people who arent allergic
Do you eat rice with milk?
I drink milk too. Americans have gotten extremely lazy. I remember when everyone mowed their own lawn and did physically demanding jobs. They want to blame fatness on food but not their own lazy asses.
I’ve been lactose intolerant my entire life ( I’m 41). This year I started drinking Raw Milk (Not pasteurized or homogenized). I have none of my common symptoms (all gross so I’ll leave them off). It’s been a game changer. I agree with everything doctor Berry says about milk you buy from the store. Raw milk is different, it has everything you need in it to digest it.
So many people I know that have gone RAW have MUCH better health effects. Pasteurized or homogenized dairy (many federal & state laws require it now) appears to remove the healthful benefits.
Where do u get raw milk from?
@@KC-gh1li Farms, direct. I'm in Texas, they are easy to find. I've heard that some draconian tyrannical states have outlawed the sale of Raw Milk. Unbelievable if so.
Me too! We get raw milk, raw yogurt, and raw cheese.
I'm 35. That has been my experience too. Raw milk is king.
I suffered from sinus induced migraines since around 5 or 6 yrs old. Didn't figure out it was dairy doing it to me until 2 yrs ago at 36 when I started keto. Mind blowing
food can causes symptoms .but we forget to treat food as medicine they can be helpful and hurtful . Every one is very different. Can handle it or not.
My asthma and chronic sinus, ear and throat issues went away on Keto. I only use heavy cream, butter and cheese. Zero milk. Not buying the Keto ice cream since it can be an overeating trigger for me.
My sinusitis improved after I cut diary of my diet.
Same here except it was later for me, 12 yo or so , Before that I was living in central america drinking raw milk from grass fed cows. I'm 44 yo now and cured my allergies or as close as possible by drinking a small amount of raw milk from grass fed cows 2 to 3 times every day. Not all milk works, depends of the type of cow (not the same casein depending on the breed) how they're fed and maybe other factors, anyway I've found 3 brands that work for me and stick to those.
@@JezaGaia Can you tell us the best brands you have found, I would love to know!
Thank you for this information, Dr. Berry. Today is Monday, Dec. 28, 2020, and I'm in the middle of GI distress that is keeping me close to the porcelain throne constantly---and I just had a cream cheese-loaded fat bomb at the end of my OMAD today. My system reacts within minutes to such stressors, but I couldn't figure out what the culprit was until I listened to you in this video.
Yet another genre of food that I have to eliminate from my diet. I was keto for three months, but after having COVID last month, and being unable to eat for almost six full days, I realized when I did eat again that all raw vegetables are out because my system can't handle them.
Now I'm almost 100% carnivore, but will have to totally eliminate dairy except ghee (DEEP SIGH). As my closest friend has said about herself and me (we both experience GI distress), "About all that's left for us is water and air, and the quality of those in this age is highly suspect!"
Being from Punjab India, Ghee is the staple FAT source we are using since the culture goes back. Our ancestors found out that long time ago, but this Low FAT/Low salt advertisement made us so sick and this we are today suffering from all sort of ailments.
I have one word for this Video... WOW.....or may Incredible hard choice to make. Beautiful explanation of such as sticky topic. My paeronship I paid off. I Gonna share the knowledge/link on my own channels. Thanks Doc..keep helping us to help others.
I am a yemnite jew, ghee or samna in arabic is a staple of our cuisines, when we came to Israel, since rationing took place back then we turned to plant seed oil since butter was expensive.
Yementes were considered the healthiest prettiest people here back in the day, and were known to be bulletproof and live to 100+ easily...

Thank you so much for making this video! I can't believe in all my years that this is the first time I'm hearing this about dairy. I always knew about lactose intolerance in people, but I never realized until seeing this video that the proteins in milk could actually cause inflammation in the joints and skin. At least anecdotally in our family I believe you are spot on.
A few months ago I started getting hooked on iced coffee, but the only way I can drink it is with a ton of half and half. I started drinking it every morning in the largest size cup (I think 24 oz. or more) which meant a LOT of cream. A few weeks later I suddenly started having really bad aching pain in my lower back and right shoulder (with no acute injury to either). I assumed I must have slept the wrong way, but the pain never went away from that point on. Ironically, for the last week and a half I got really busy and skipped the iced coffee in the morning, and noticed about a couple of days later that the pain in both areas started to go away - it's now been completely gone for the last 3 days. I had assumed that the heating pad and Motrin (which I'm now no longer taking) were what finally resolved it, but today I just saw your video and am stunned to think that all the cream I was adding to the iced coffee might have been what brought it all on in the first place!
Then I realized that my son also just started drinking iced coffee the same time I did, and the same way I was preparing it because he also liked it that way, and shortly after his forehead started breaking out with acne (he's 16 and his face had been completely clear up to this point). Likewise, my daughter all of a sudden started drinking a ton of milk when she was around 11-12 and the same thing happened to her. She's now 21 and besides acne, has also had a lot of various inflammatory conditions of her skin.
I shared your video with both her and my son today and and they are both going to try to stop all dairy for a couple of weeks to see if it helps their skin. Both of them have been to dermatologists (my son recently because of the acne) and it's hard to believe that the doctor never thought to mention dairy to either of them as at least a potential contributor to their issues.
Your video also now has me wondering if it's the MILK in milk chocolate, rather than the chocolate itself, which may be the real culprit with teen acne.
Anyway, this may well be one of the most helpful health type videos I've ever seen! Thanks so much for this helpful information!!
I almost cried when your video was finished. It explains so much that I go through and no one believes me.
Heavy skim milk drinker as a kid; continued to consume dairy products until I was in my mid-30s. By then my sinuses were constantly stuffy and I had a runny nose, as if having seasonal allergy symptoms. Thought I was allergic to my home. Started researching and decided to try quitting dairy. Problem solved! Tried the "eat pizza" test a couple times - next day, stuffy sinuses. Haven't had dairy for about 8 years, but added clarified butter since going low-carb / ketovore in the last year. No probs w/ the fats only. Why consume dairy when you can eat a ribeye? Best regards to you and yours Dr. Berry!
I grew up on a small dairy farm. I was born in 1967. We drank unpasteurized milk daily (every meal and in between). Now my wife buys milk in the store. I also retired after working 31 years in the creamery where my dad and uncle shipped their milk. We produced butter and powdered milk. I still have trouble skipping my milk. On hunting trips we won't take milk but do talk butter and cheese. And vacation I won't have milk every day. First thing when I get home is chug a tall glass of cold milk. I love milk and many other dairy products. The more I watch this channel the more I like it. But I won't stop my milk.
Raw dairy has many benefits
Thank you for not being biased and explaining that we are all a little different in our tolerances when it comes to our cosumption of dairy.
My back and leg pain that I struggled with for 25 years disappeared two days after I stopped drinking milk. Unbelievable but true.

I'm keto lost around 80 lbs 68 yrs old. Being keto I really ate a ton of cheese and used heavy cream in my coffee. About 3 months ago I developed dermatitis on my hands cracks developed between my fingers. Also all around my mouth was swollen and red like a burn. My holistic person tested my for dairy and I showed non tolerant! Given it up for 6 weeks snuck in heavy cream in my coffee for 3 days and my lips started swelling up again. I'm having alergy tests done by a alergy clinic in the next few week to confirm but I'm convinced I need to be dairy free. My brain feels so much clearer and I can breath through my nose 24/7! I totally agreed with Dr Berry!
Yep, I was taught this decades ago per my ND. And have been unable to digest milk effectively since a child. WE are the only mammal that continues to do dairy past the weaning age. And I suspect our ancient ancestors were not able to access it regularly (no cows available - and milking a Mammoth had its drawbacks - lol) It was always amazing how the industry - Medical and dairy both promoted milk as a necessity to a healthy diet. I was tested for my reactive's, and dairy was high on the list.
Excellent video. Since I gave up heavy cream in my coffee, finally busted through my plateau and have lost three pounds. I try and remember that milk is produced by the mother to help her baby grow. I don't need to grow anymore.
I consumed large amounts of dairy, daily, for over 70 years....
Stopped ALL dairy two months ago.
I cannot describe how good I feel !!!
you still rolling with this Steven?.
Hi Dr Berry, we meet couple of years ago in a beach in Florida… I was the one with the “brains” (hope that help to remember). It is possible to do an update video about this but taking into consideration milk type A1 vs A2? I could not tolerate milk my entire life… but during my time in Florida, I manage to find a local farm that had A2 type raw milk and the experience was totally different. I could even drink a glass without any problem. One of the biggest difference between A1 milk and A2 milk is the betacasein protein. Most milk or all commercial milk in the western side is A1 type (genetically altered milk due to cross breeding), A2 milk is from cows that still have “their original” DNA and not cross breed, so to speak.
I was raised in south America and my grandma had a farm with cows and she always gave me milk right from the cow NEVER NEVER had any issues until I came to this country and never figured it out what it was! Duh!!! It’s pasteurized AND GRAIN FED not RAW and grass fed like I WAS RAISED ON! Very hard to find!
don't forget the pesticides, the gmo feed, the hormones, etc. of course that milk is bad for you. it's got so much poison in it!
I use to milk cows for a living. We had a few that we kept in the fields eating grass. Their milk was delicious ...
franzb69
Now it does!! It's pretty hard to get real raw milk!
When I want a milk fix, I buy Horizon organic grassfed whole milk. It's delicious!
@@carolinemcallister1473 I live by a Horizon dairy farm. I never, I mean NEVER see their cows in the pasture. They are always at the feed trough. As long as they have "access" to pasture, the Gov't allows them to be certified as grass fed. I can only assume they are at least eating organic feed. PS: the same for chicken farms. The ckns can walk thru this little window, down the ramp to a fenced in grassy area. But I've never seen a single ckn outside. Its sad. I'm lucky that I live in a rural area where there are small farms and farmers markets. I buy my proteins from them.
I am fortunate enough to have access to raw milk … I agree that pasteurized milk products aren’t worth consuming however since adding raw milk to my diet my gut health has improved tremendously.. The good bacteria and probiotics available in Raw milk has helped me ..
It's in your head. Raw or pasteurized is the same.
As a person of Scottish decent, I can absolutely digest dairy. The issue was more of one of staying on keto and avoiding lactose. That’s why I make my own triple strength kefir. Not the store bought stuff.
Can you post your recipe for triple strength kefir, please? Love dairy, but trying to carbs intake as low as possible.
Interesting. I too am of Scottish decent and have absolutely no problem digesting dairy
I am also and testing kefir now and how my body reacts to it.
how do you do triple strength Kefir? I make Kefir too and am intrigued by this
I think you'll find there's not a lot in pure cream. I noticed a huge amount of sweetness when I got a coffee with milk. I always make it with cream at home. I got quite a shock. If you can get pure cream in Scotland and I'm sure you can. It isn't cheap though.
I think we can have certain things while we are healthy. We usually don’t start researching things unless we are getting/ or are sick. Good video!!
I'm 56 and reduced milk quite a bit due to the sugar content so I only drink once a week. I eat large amounts of cheese, Greek yoghurt and cream though. Plus I drink Kefir a couple of times a week. For me this works great.
Good on ya. There really isn't that much sugar in milk but I fully understand where you're coming from. I can't eat cheese, there's something alive in cheese that give my joints hell but I drink an enormous amount of milk, I know what's good for me. Cream in my coffee and cook often with butter or ghee.
As an avid bodybuilder over the last 45 years & almost 60 years of age, I have consumed dairy in abundance as many thousands of other bodybuilders do, both whey & Caessien protein is consumed at around 1- 2 grams per pound of body weight on a daily basis. My point being is i have never been in hospital, haven't had a flu in over 12 years weight 90 kg @ 5 10 height with around 12 -15 % body fat all year round, also no heart problems, diabetes, and perfect blood pressure, i weight train 1 hr a day 5 days a week heavy with low reps, if dairy is so bad i must be a paradox to your analogy doc.
72 and similar story . See a doctor maybe once every 2-3 yrs or so for mandatory check up.Confused now with 2 gallons of milk I have in the fridge (usual) and Gold standard whey protein twice daily. So, are we unhealthy ? No headaches, stomach aches, no meds ..
I never had problems consuming dairy until one day the pain came from out of nowhere.....@@ukestudio3002
I figure I am an anomaly because ghee upsets my system quite drastically yet butter does not. I avoid all other dairy....yet I have tried ghee many times
Love this video because it sums up what I preach so I shared it all over !!
Thank you for this Dr Berry. Just prepping for my keto journey. I have a lot of inflamation in my joints that I want to be rid of permintently. I eliminated all dairy except heavy cream and butter but the inflamation remains. I will now eliminate everything except clarified butter and see what happens with my inflamation 👍🏻👍🏻
Me too Krista. Keep us posted!
How has your journey been with the keto diet?
I don't really agree with this video. I think milk is great for adults that need to gain weight. I think it helped me get big and strong.
Also, I am of German blood and have no problems with dairy. I love it.
I did carnivore for a couple months before getting knocked off the wagon, but even on the diet I didn't give up milk. I absolutely love it. I still felt so much better than on a carb rich processed diet, and I noticed a huge reduction (actually elimination) of my joint pain and inflammation. As I am starting to get back on the carnivore diet I may at some point decide to cut out milk, but I'm not sure I will fully give it up. I really do just love milk.
I am NOT recommending anyone else drink milk or going against anything Dr. Berry is saying. I am purely an advocate of individual health and my individual experience may or may not resemble anyone else's. I didn't have any kind of symptom that would have made me think milk was an issue, so I didn't cut it out completely.
Yea I drank milk by the gallons. Raw for a year, pasteurized too, never had a problem. 21 and still didnt lose the ability to digest it like he claims, I agree with 99% of all his topics, just not this one.
I'm 60 years old, never stopped drinking milk and have no issues with it. Except for the jug milk, it has sugar. So I started mixing heavy whipping cream and water to drink. I really like it. No surgery taste. I don't see anything wrong with dairy but each person is different when it comes to diet.
Yes , this is hard to do. I’m 62…. 2 months carnivore, milk has been my go to. I’m sure once I am fully detoxed I’ll get rid of it. I can afford the weight, it’s mental right now. If a glass of milk gets me thru instead of eating poison, I’ll take it 😂

"If you are a cow baby, you need cow's milk". That just cracked me up. The rest is 100% knowledge and absolutely wonderful talk. 😀
I stopped eating dairy a few years ago when I was having problems with digestion, like I wasn't absorbing food right. I kept getting dehydrated too. I was always sensitive to dairy but then I decided to cut it out altogether and the issues went away.
Now I do eat butter and have started using ghee. I've also just recently tried some goat cheese, which I can tolerate in small amounts only.
So is only milk bad and cheese and butter is fine?

You're totally right, I drank a lot of milk and didn't realize it was causing me inflammation until I stopped. Delayed reaction
I been constipated for years. and I hardly ever ate or drank dairy. Just started using raw milk and heavy cream and my bowels started to work on their own. Right now I'm just testing the dairy to see how it affects me in the long run.
There is a world of difference between RAW milk and DEAD milk. I feel sorry for those who aren't aware of how awesome Raw milk is for us.
@@Jay-hs1vq I totally agree there is a difference between Raw milk and pasteurized milk. I drink full fat raw milk every morning. It complements my Keto lifestyle and I lose weight every week and feel great. The natural bacterial, that is killed in pasteurization, in raw milk helps my gut environment. There are some people that can’t tolerate lactate but that is only some. The milk substitutes are packed with additives to include different types of sugar.
Just stopped all dairy yesterday. After a month or so I will know if it's been an issue or not. Will be eating beef only for the month.
Space Ghost please post your results .. I hope I get to view them 😀
I hope to hear your results too! I have had at least 1 liter milk every day for more than 30 years, and never experienced any side effects from it. Tried two weeks without, because I was at a place where I couldn’t get it, and felt no difference. Since then I just thought that we humans can be quite different in how we tolerate certain food-items (I do not seem to do well on oat).
Make sure to eat the liver at least once a week and to not skimp out on the fat! Best of luck to you!
Please, share your result with us here in comments below!
So uh, how's your progress?
I love milk. I drank whole milk when I was pregnant and was gaining too much weight. That was in 1986. The Dr asked me what I was eating and drinking. I told him about 5 glasses of milk a day. I thought I was doing the right thing. Anyway the kid is now 35 with twins. I still love my cream in my coffee.
Growing up all I ever drank was fresh milk from our bulk tank. When I started buying milk from grocery store I ended up getting sick. 5 years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter I craved milk terrible. Found the only milk my body would tolerate was fresh from the farm. Now since doing keto I steer clear of all dairy.
I've been full carnivore for 4 months and it's been one of the best decisions of my life for bothe mental and physical health; that being said this last month my dairy intake has skyrocketed , well my progress has plateaued and begun to reverse now I know why thank you so much for your wealth of knowledge and experience doc.
I haven't started carnivore yet, but I love reading comments like yours. Pumps me up to change my life❤
I had asma attacks and chest infections and bad allergy to dust mites, which got worse as I got older. Gave up all dairy products at about 60yrs. Now 71yrs, no prob with the above. In fact I have no health probs at all
I absolutely love milk, I could drink it all day. I have no adverse symptoms from it at all (migraines, skin conditions, digestive issues, inflammation) but I still feel I should give it up. I eat almost entirely a carnivore diet (and feel great for it) but this is the last hurdle for me. I love milk.
They say anything you crave your allergic to.....it causes cravings to give you a bit of the hair of the dog that bit you so you don't have huge reactions....mine is icecream made of custard. Don't drink milk or put it in anything....don't eat cheeses. All that causes 💩 poo.
You should give everything up. Don't you know that yet?
You don’t have to give up milk if you don’t have any adverse effects from it. Milk has a lot of vitamins in it.
Raw milk is supposed to be a super food
@@angeloashikafratti2107yeah trying to figure that out if you have histamine issues and so on can you actually take that.
Older mammals will drink milk if an opportunity arises. They love it. My dogs, cats, other momma cows with other cows will drink milk off eachother and more. It may not be the staple of their diet but they still do it and love it. I also think it has to do with the milk being pasteurized. We've drank milk as a species for a very long time. We've only been pasturizing it since the turn of industry and that's when milk issues started coming up for people.
Completely agree. I knew dairy farmers who drink their raw milk before the milkman comes to take it to treat and pasteurize it and it can do wonders.
We just had our 8 year old cow drink off one of the 3 year old cows lol. Was quite the sight to see! We have 3 Jersey cows, I can't have dairy cuz of my Hashimoto's but the rest of my family gets all the raw milk they can get after the calves get what they want!
Cats will drink milk sure...but then get the shits from it.
I gave my dog and cats raw milk with water and added it to their dog and cat food.
@Mama Benzing I had hashimotoes as well. Raw milk did wonders for me in healing it. I know everyone is different, though.
I started with eggs and raw yogurt Kefir after 20 years of veganism, because I started to feel many symptoms of vitamin and mineral deficiency..
I was taking raw milk too for a few weeks before the farm stopped I think because of covid. My gut felt so much better and tighter when I was on it and I suffer from Crohn's.

That’s good to hear glad it worked for acne, my grandson suffers acne , that could help him as well. 😉
I found out in the past year or so that all forms of dairy cause an inflammatory response because i will get tons of congestion and drainage overnight and early into the next day. When i stop it mostly goes away. When i eat it comes back
Milk isn't the same any more because the way it's processed denatures the proteins and that causes a lot more problems than lactose does for most people.
Tip for coffee drinkers: At one time I used a lot of heavy cream in my coffee. I tried switching to black coffee but that was an utter failure. Slowly over time, I gradually made the switch to heavy cream to grass fed butter. I'm now very slowly reducing the butter. It's been a slow but easy process and I've continued to enjoy my morning coffee along the way. The plan is to come close if not completely eliminating it. I like the idea of making progress.
Give me the tip to stop drinking coffee. I started at a young age (8) and I’m in my 60’s I wish I could stop 😖
@marysimon LOL!
I love heavy whipping cream in my coffee, but wanted to fall in love with black coffee to reduce the calories and possible inflammation from extra dairy. I bought a French Press from Walmart and I buy high quality coffee (currently Peet’s Major Dickason’s blend Dark Roast). It’s made a difference drinking my coffee black because the flavor is so appealing.

Heavy whipping cream is what butter is without the extra liquid.
Shame you didnt mention a1 vs a2, raw vs pasteurized and the fact that lactase is present in raw milk, the nutrient and fatty acid profile. Dairy can really be a superfood if it is high quality and from a trusted source.

That was the only thing left. It’s been 72 hours without that. *no stomach irritation and no knuckle pains* I just never put the facts to the test. I hope to resolve my stomach ulceration. Thanks. It’s been life altering and oh ya when I put salt in my coffee it takes over my cream craving..which I don’t have now. Lol
I was doing so great on keto. All my symptoms where starting to fade. Until I ate a bit of hard cheese. I couldn't sleep that night, my face and hair got oily immediately. The next day I had lower energy. The next day a ate a bit more of cheese and the same thing happened, plus gas and constant trips to pee at night, and my nose got stuffed again. I'm shocked.
Back in the day, bodybuilders drank a gallon of whole milk a day. Today I still use lactose free whole milk to supplement my diet. Great stuff. I live by it.
mkae yogurt yourself and the lactose will be eliminated. it's a real superfood.
I grew up with drinking raw cow milk (still warm) and never lost my love for almost all dairy products. Those are the hardest foods for me to let go.
I totally understand, I really do. happy New Year!
Hi Ken isn't the big problem with diary the processing that it goes through? I wish you would talk about raw vs pasteurised/homogenised and how damaging these processes are. I understand children who grow up on raw cow's milk have much less asthma for example?
uht is shit
I agree!
My mother, now 82, was raised on a dairy. Her dad used to milk the best cow, put the milk in bottle, and would hand it to my grandmother through the house window
Exactly
It’s not meant for humans and especially adults.
I have recently figured out (took me 65 years) to figure out that I needed to eliminate milk, soft cheeses & yogurts because of inflammation. I now use butter, ghee.
So you have no issues with butter and ghee,right?
Yogurt, too!?? 😭😭😭😭😭
Eliminating dairy from my diet was one of the best decisions in my life. No more gastric problems, no more weird fatige and headaches. Also, my skin looked insanely better after just few weeks. Dairy is truly poison for some of us.
Does that include butter and cheese?
I wish cutting it out would do all that for me. Only thing that got better is digestive issues :-/ still ache, still tired, still have the skin of a 13-year-old in my mid-thirties but now I've got wrinkles too...
And dairy is WONDERFUL for me and my kids
If ur not intolerant and like it there no reason to give it up and it’s chock full of nutrients
@@tilapiadave3234 for now. Just sayin
You forgot about the water% of all these dairy foods, which is often very high. Dairy is more than fat+protein+carbohydrate. Otherwise, I agree that this is generally good advice.
Thank you Dr. Berry I was under the impression that butter was 100% fat so I felt free on a ketogenic diet to consume about as much as I want. I accidentally left the stove burner on low and on the shelf above the stove I had a container with butter in it over a period of several hours it melted the butter into liquid and I was very surprised to see several droplets of what appeared to be milk I thought right then this is not pure fat. I'm a 77-year-old male and in my younger years I drank all the milk and ice cream that I wanted but I have noticed as I'm getting older I do not think that dairy products agrees with me like it did when I was younger. Anyway to older seniors out there like me even if you've never been bothered with dairy before but now that you're in your late 60s 70s or higher maybe that's not the case anymore anyway definitely something to think about.
Well great video. I developed irritated bowel syndrome with flair ups also had very dry cracked knuckles. The dry hands I put off as living in Arizona & being in the construction industry. Until one day the dry hands spread to my forearms, then a itching rash on my legs then spread to my stomach. Cutting to what I did. Went on a sibo diet. No milk , no flour, no corn or potatoes, Tomatoes or beans or sugary fruits like melons/ grapes.For two weeks. Just Free range Beef , Pork, Chicken, an Wild Caught Fish. Then most vegetables except Tomatoes & Beans. Also cut out high sugar fruits for only two weeks. I fasted in the morning drinking only tea & lemon & switching to electrolyte drink homemade with a drizzle of organic apple cider vinegar. One meal at 4-6pm with a probiotic half way through the meal. By day 4 my skin started to stop itching/ eczema & bowel movments returned to much younger days . After two weeks I wanted a glass of Milk so bad. However I found out that whole milk that is Homogenized/Pasturized / altraviolet treated killed off all the natural enzymes in the milk that help the body digest the sugars. I'm from Arizona no dairy farms close by. I wanted to try raw milk , found frezzed dried RAW COW & GOAT Milk week 3 know bathroom visits are great an the eczema is practically gone. Would you do a video on Raw Milk vs Homogenized Pastureized milk. Because I think Raw milk is whole milk an store bought Pastureized milk is a bad idea.
I love raw milk, to me it's so delicious that there's no way I could ever give it up. And no, I'm not fat at all and no allergic reactions that I know of, just love the taste of fresh raw milk! 😊 ❤️ 🐾
Me too. I do fine with grass-fed pasteurized milk also. Love it and it gives me no problems.
You're blessed. Not everybody can!
I need to understand how the cheeses, heavy cream, butter affect a person after a MCI heart attack. I have pored over your videos and can't find anything specifically for diabetes 2, prior heart attack and dairy, even the stuff you love [I love them too]
thank you Doc. I hope you see this.
My 9-year-old daughter just said "is this the Dr I like?" 😂😂...yes baby. It is😆
Nice
@@successfulchicken1384 It’s hard too watch Dr Berg since hearing his sons story and experience with leaving the Scientology church and being cut off by his parents and not allowed to ever see his niece again for leaving for his own mental health.

Wow!!!! So thankful to you Dr. Berry for sharing this information with us. I have always felt sick from my stomach every time I consume dairy products. I understand why now. I am Hispanic, and I have suffered from acne since I moved to the US. Thank you again and by the way, thank you for using simple language to explain difficult topics. God Bless you!
Great info, thanks for sharing!
Can you please do a Ghee vs Beef Tallow video comparing the benefits of using each one for cooking and adding to lean meat to fatten up the meal? That would be amazing😁
Lard’s good too! 😁
I eat meat and eggs only but since carnivore some yougurt, sour cream, cheese from time to time has no effect as before. I think that added with other allergens was the problem
Carnivore and keto and fasting pretty much eliminate inflammation.
For the majority of Europeans milk used to be a staple food, no digestive problems. They ate mostly milk, breads, potatoes and lived happily to be at least 80, with less illnesses that we experience today.
Dr Ken, Thank you for this video! I was literally considering quitting my heavy cream -in-coffee habit today, because I am certain it is the cause of my inflammation. Thank you for explaining the dairy spectrum! This is so helpful.
I'm going to do the same thing.
Yep, me too! Keto has been good to me. But cream & cheese has got to go.
Hayley Zertuche I quit cream in my coffee as it made my joints hurt and me ache. It’s gone since I quit.
@@11stardust369 What, no more cheese cake ?
@@11stardust369 How do you do keto without the cream and the cheese?
I suffered from eczema from drinking milk as a kid, we could never figure out what it was that was causing it and now hearing this it confirms it was the milk that I drank by the gallon.
I stopped drinking milk 1 week ago and I cant beleave the difference! My joints don't ache nearly as much, I have more energy, my sinuses are way clearer, my mood has improved, im less foggyheaded, I used to drink about 1 litre of full cream cows milk every day. I'm very impressed with my results in just 1 week!! Truely AMAZING!
congratulation you are lactose intolerant and cant digest any dairy product
Same for me... 10.days dairy free after 45 years of cheese addition, 12 pints of milk a week... I feel like elastic, like a gazelle 😊
I tried beef-only for 30 days, then consumed dairy immediately after. I experienced zero negative side effects. 😁
Nice
Great video! Loving all information, my world as been turned upsidedown. Everything I thought I knew about nutrition is being contradicted. That can't be an accident😂
I just came across your channel about a week ago and am now on day 4 of carnivore for my autoimmune issues. I am not struggling at all doing this diet, feels very natural and satisfying. I already notice that I have no bloating whatsoever. I eat until I am full, then leave the table feeling like I never ate. Before I had to workout in the mornings and eat at lunch time because I didn't like intense physical activities with a bloated stomach. I can eat carnivore and workout right after and I feel even better than waiting to eat after a workout. I feel super alert and clear minded. So alert and energetic that I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping at night. I am very optimistic about this diet and potentially way of life.
Thanks for all this high quality content. I will be consuming it all while I continue with the diet. The more I learn, the more I want to do it😁
I’d love to hear your straight up thoughts on using Niacin (not niacinamide or no flush niacin, just plain old B3), to lower Lp(a), raise HDL and cardiac benefits. Thank you!
Im so glad I found your channel. I have Sjogren, RA, and Fibromyalgia. I just can’t continue with all this pain and exhaustion. Thank you for sharing your story and journey. Gives me hope that one day I can get relief as well.
Doctor, I’m 60, in good health, but having knee pain, doc said they were fine, joint pain in fingers, really bad. And tendon pain in arms. I’m trying to eat a lot of salmon, avocados, healthy salad… am I doing something wrong? Tired of pain.
I drink double fat milk and no more pain usually low fat cause pain
@@wildcatslife686 What brand is it? Where do you get it?
Makes so much sense, had my gallbladder out and was told my severe cramps and loose stools would stop. Still happens so I stopped drinking it, but HWC and cheese don't bother me. Can't eat ice cream but do ok eating keto enlightened once in a great while. Now it makes sense.
I have lost a lot of weight eating cheese on a keto diet. And i feel good. I also drink whey protein drinks (all low carb, of course). I do tend to eat more goat cheese, though. But i have also lost faster and feel even better with the carnivore diet without dairy.
All we drink is raw milk and cream. Beautiful grass fed stuff!!!! Love love. But please do a video for people like me!!
Thanks. It's what I needed to hear... no way to wiggle out of it.
I drink milk and eat butter. I do get a flare up of psoriasis in my eyebrows. Now I know yo cut milk and butter out. Thank you!!!
Your videos while I'm on the carnivore diet is brilliant information for me. Thanks doc. All my love from Liverpool England UK. 👍
