hi Dr. Mike!

Interesting topic. Do your concerns on the use of antibiotics and hormones also apply to EU produced milk?

And what about soy milk and specially composed “grow milk” for infants (lowered proteins etc.)?

My main reason for asking is my youngest daughter, now 22 months old, who still asks a lot of milk (over 500ml/day) …

Kind regards from Antwerp,
Synthia

Hi James,
Thanks for your interesting input. It’s indeed correct that we as humans aonly produce the lactase enzyme in our first year of life in order to break down the mother’s milk. If we consume milk after 1 to 1 1/2 years of age we will certainly get into some trouble because we are missing that essential enzyme to successfully break down the milk. Regarding the goat’s milk…I still recommend NOT to consume any milk of any animal since their milk is specific to their species and regardless we do not have the lactase; furthermore most milks are processed and pasteurized and contain multiple toxins. I suggest to consume almond milk instead (good substitute for your breakfast cereals). Personally, I don’t like to support the Daity Industry so I totally refrain from dairy products. Hope this helps. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
Yours in Optimal Health,
Dr. Mike

Interesting post, Dr. Mike. I heard the same thing about milk actually. Since humans naturally are supposed to lose the lactase enzyme as we get older, our ability to digest milk decreases, thus causing gas and the bloating, etc.

Myself, I haven’t heared of it causing a lot of those autoimmune diseases, but I suppose I can see it happening. If you become sensitized to milk and then it becomes a trigger for those diseases. (Am I in the ball park there?)

Also, you talked a lot about cow’s milk causing a lot of problems. What do you think of goat’s milk? I heard it’s easier for humans to digest since it’s closer to our own and typically found as organic.
