Guest: Joel Greene
Many dietary templates exclude dairy. Many physicians and practitioners warn patients to stay away from dairy. Why is this? And is it valid? The average American diet includes a combined 800 pounds of dairy per year. That's from milk as a beverage and other dairy products like cheese, yogurt, etc. The single largest category of anything Americans eat is dairy! Is this why dairy gets a bad rap?
But wait, some of the longest lived populations in the world are lacto-vegetarians. Hmm. We attempt to get past the "baby talk" as Joel likes to call it, and clear up the myths and realities of dairy. Is it a super-food? Is it a super unhealthy food? Does the entire context of the diet and the uniqueness of the human consuming it have a role in it all? Prepare to become unconfused about dairy.
