Dairy Products
Foods under this heading generally cause more concern and apprehension
than any other. I see more sick people who have overindulged in dairy
products than any other single food grouping. Milk and cheese are
particularly damaging to children, and they can contribute to sinus
problems, heart problems, allergies, colds, constipation, chronic fatigue,
headaches, obesity, and dental deterioration. Many of us do not have
sufficient natural lactase to break down the digestible lactose present in
dairy products into assimilable sugars.
Dairy products often contain high levels of bacteria that can remain in
these foods after cooking and even pass into unprotected food stored
nearby. They do, of course, contain all the pesticides and herbicides the
cattle have grazed on, unless they are organic.
Yogurt, though made from milk and therefore potentially just as
harmful, does have the benefit of containing live cultures. Make it
from organic goat’s milk if you decide to eat yogurt.
