When I was young, my main staple of food that launched my day was milk and cereal! I recall once on the school bus, I would always have a stomach ache and would be buckled over with pain. It wasn’t until years later that I learned the devastating affects of dairy which I gave up and realized significant benefits of enjoying my meals by giving up dairy!! No more pain!!
Same here as a child, except I found out later on in life that I was lactose intolerant. Now, I drink Organic Valley Lactose Free Milk and my stomach can digest it properly.
I did to, but it was the sugar+bht, preservatives in the cereals, also used to eat margerine instead of butter, No trouble with milk or butter, except acne
@@williamshaneblyth we dont actually love junk food, the parasites and bad bacterias in our guts do, and we arent wise or woke enough on a general level to mentally over-ride their influences on us, so we give in . Most people dont even know what they are doing let alone know its wrong
people don't drink a lot of milk, they drink a lot of something that's called milk. real milk is raw and full of good fats. the stuff in the store is cooked and some of the fat was removed. this study is talking about so called milk not real milk.
True. I grew up in New-Zealand, 1.2 liters of milk a day minimun, high meat, masses of organic fruit, loads of high glycemic potatoes, very litle green veg, loads of cereal, sugar on everything. The milk had cream on the top, the bit everyone wanted. I am now 66 and went keto 3 years ago because I stated to get fat. However I was in mid 50's before my BMI started to rise. Was BMI 23 until early 40's, lean and strong. Bones are very strong, teeth are white with 2 fillings got in early teens from school dental nurse. Still drink 1 liter a day but not low fat. All medical markers in the green, at 66 metabolic age = to 45 fit healthy male. My diet as a kid was not ideal but we ate no junk food. I am now a CrossFit fittness fanatic.
Old news to me. I did my beauty therapy thesis on “milk is for calves”. It didn’t go down well 25 years ago. I had a lot of evidence but was ahead of my time.
I've been drinking a glass or two of whole milk (organic, grass fed) every day of my life. At age 67 I'm in perfect health and have no osteoporosis. I would never stop drinking it and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have an allergy to dairy products.
In our schools (Louisiana), the kids have to choose between white 2%, pink strawberry skim milk, or chocolate skim milk. This is for breakfast and lunch. Plus breakfast typically has an orange juice offering as well with a pop tart or cereal. It is despicable.
When I grew up on the farm, my three brothers and me (there were 4 of us) loved drinking raw milk. On one occasion we all got INJURED while drinking it. ---------- The cow laid down.
In hindsight, a lot of this makes total sense. I drank huge quantities of milk as a kid. My mom would buy 5 gallons of 2% milk on the weekend and resupply mid-week because my brother and I drank so much (30oz glasses at a time). The "Got Milk?" campaigns were really powerful at that time and everybody believed what we were told about milk. It's fascinating to learn more and more about how we've been misled by bad science and marketing for decades.
Same upbringing. Always 2% by the gallon. And if there wasn't orange juice next to the milk, Mom could always reach into the freezer for the frozen concentrate and your juice was ready to go. Sad watching my mom struggle for years on Weight Watchers. At least now, we have a chance to reeducate ourselves.
We are still getting marketed and science is still twisted to get the results that industry needs. Rickets is back! And the price of milk is so much more in Canada than in the US that those who cannot afford to purchase milk are giving putting pop and juice in those baby bottles and offering less nutritious beverages to older children. Not much difference in shopping for breakfast cereal when sugar coated cereals are what is encouraged. Unless there is an obvious symptom of lactose intolerance or celiac, children will benefit from the protein in milk. Protein keeps the pangs of sugar craving down as well as providing and ensuring against rickets.
It’s the first time I have come across Dr. Ludwig and I love his level headed approach to diet/nutrition. One size definitely does not fit all when it comes to nutrition and many other “experts” tend to forget this.
Eggs are the most perfect food. Milk never was. But with eggs, there are no downsides. Lots of vitamins, lots of minerals, and their protein quality is for a reason the gold standard in sports and nutrition science.
Maybe they don't eat enough minerals. Calcium needs other minerals to assimilate in the body. It has to go where it does good or it just messes up in the blood or make bone spur. Vitamin k2 and vitamin d3 with minerals. Not just calcium. 🤯🤥😷
You tube premium is the best money ever spent. NO ads. At all. It’s about 16 dollars a month....approximately the amount most people spend on 3 lattes. Worth every penny!
Another issue with milk is hormones and precursors to hormones leading to hormonal imbalances that can lead to cancers. I have been drinking A2 milk now, but just quit 3 weeks ago, will see if that makes any difference
in america and many other countries, its allowed to use hormones/pesticides/GMO-feed/antibiotics and whatnot :s A1 or A2 is of low relevance in that context...at 48 mins he mentions that A1 seems to cause more problems than A2 and that the dairy industry in america develloped this problem from the breeding of the cows. But i do agree on your point, if you want to drink milk, choose A2 and organice grass fed free range :)
When I was a tween- I lived in a small midwest town down the street from a dairy. We got our milk fresh, non-homogenized, and I did not have any digestive issues with that milk. It was not until we moved away and drank homogenized milk that I started having digestive issues.
Lori, what you have observed is not *causal*. You've noticed a coincidental timing, but no confirmed cause and effect. You got older, and lactose intolerance can hit suddenly as you age. Now you may be right--but you can prove or disprove that by going back to nonhomogonized milk, or making other "milk" changes.
My family drank lots of milk when we were growing up and we were extremely healthy. No health problems whatsoever. No bone problems as adults either. I take nutrition advice with a grain of salt. There are so many other factors besides food. I do agree that sugar is a real problem, especially high fructose corn syrup. And all the horrible additives in our food is making us sick. It’s probably not the food but more the garbage they put in it that’s the problem.
Yes, but is not ethical to drink milk of other species, or the cows, or goats, dogs, cats, etc. drink human milk? Think about this. I stopped drink it almost at the age of 40 and I notice the differences. The cow’s milk has much phosphorus than the human milk, the protein that is the casein, is not good because makes intestinal permeability. So, the milk is pro inflammatory food.
In my family the only person who had strong bones, teeth till the end and never even suffered RA or osteoarthritis ever was my grandmother. she drank a lot of dairy not just a little with tons of sugar, chocolate powder, and fruit shakes. She drank real milk. you need to take this BS on social media and studies with grain of salt because these propaganda promoting doctors will not do randomized trials long term and restrict other unhealthy factors in groups and then see results. I am CERTAIN if they did they will find dairy FAR superior to meat for bone health. my other grandmother who ate fish n chicken n eggs all life with very little dairy intake only suffered terrible arthritis. so a good trial in my family itself. this is why medical doctors need to be taken with grain of salt today else they will convince you to buy supplements over food. hear Dr Robert Lustig and Dr Aseem Malhotra intake on dairy. any one can blow trumpet on correlation but fail to invest in science to prove a real cause. so where do these doctors stand? in my eyes in the commercial world to delude us with their propaganda based studies. unless they don't become political to influence Public policies on their fake cherry picked observational studies or studies where they don't control enough co-founders and don't even know if enough co-founders they are to be negated.. I am sure some scientist will come and find why these studies were flawed. waiting desperately for that day. because if you can't prove causation you can only speak to people not influence Public policies like a fake doctor running vegan agenda
@@sash0047 time will tell what's her point. who knows now if smoking was really that bad until industrial Ag Era where it became worsened because it comes from earth and many people in history smoked. because only after refined garbage which came in form of oils, refined carbs even few generations ago has diseases started to go up
I really appreciate this wonderful discussion. I am a 65 yr old female that suffers from anemic problems. Recently I started using raw goats milk, not a lot, I make custard (not sweetened) in the evening, hoping this will be easier nutrient absorption, and started adding it to my coffee. also switched to carnivore diet, which made an incredible difference in my health. Waiting until December to take a new blood test.
I did carnivore for 5 years. Zero fiber. Biggest mistake of my life. Ruined my digestion and gut. Almost 2 years later I’m still trying to heal. It’s been hell. Stay away from that dangerous diet! And I would advise you to stop using the drug caffeine. That adds to your anemia as it hinders absorption of minerals and ruins your digestion. A horrible drug that everyone is addicted to.
Calcium is absorbed best from whole milk. I saw the old time nutritionist Adele Davis write the chemical formula of digestion showing this. Of course organic, pastured, grass fed raw A2 milk is best. Visiting the farm and seeing the care of the cows is even better. Goat milk is great too.
@@lawdogwales5921 70% of world population is lactose intolerance, an unknown percentage of those who do consume milk have all kinds of skinproblems due to dairy. Inner and outer skin: acne, sinus and ear infections, exzema, asthma, bowel sensitivity, endometriosis to name but a few. Others have other inflammatory issues, like arthritis. It really is worth your while to cut all dairy for a while, even when you think you have no problem. You may get to know your body in a different way! :-)
@@krism6260 I frequently go months without dairy, and of course when I fast I don't eat anything including dairy. But many people, like me, handle dairy with no problems. And following a ketogenic diet bordering on pure carnivore, I need a little more variety than meat, eggs, and fish. Dairy is a great and welcome treat: milk, cream, whipped cream, yogurt, and cheese are all so great, especially cheese. But, by all means, avoid any food that gives you problems.
Food is medicine for the body and every one's body is different. I lived on nothing else but a raw camel milk three times a day for six months and I have never felt healthier, leaner, and energized my whole life. Every time I do that I come back with the energy of 20 years old. I really believe that our ancestor's diet, their environment is encoded in our DNA and the more we deviate from that, the more food problems we run into.
Dairy with its fat, and vitamin D is what enabled Swedes to survive the long winters with hardly any sunlight. As far as osteoporosis goes: Swedes drink absurd amounts of coffee, and not the organic kind. The most heavily sprayed food crop in the world. They also eat absurd amounts of glyphosate sprayed grains. Kale they’ll eat once a year, for Christmas. They are also VERY sedentary.
Yeah, that's why i take everything YT health gurus claim with a -grain- handful of salt. Especially if they have agendas or part of a group. Multiple factors should be controlled when speaking about milk if we want to objectively assign its nutritional value.Like: -pasteurized Milk has its enzymes destroyed(even worse the long endurance milk) -commercial milk are from cows on mainly grain feedlot, and the worse kind of grains, corn. -commercial milk are from cows full on antibiotics/hormones. -Milk cows are genetically engineered to produce ENORMOUS amounts of low quality milk.Volume over quality. etc etc
They remove cream from the milk and test make cheese butter and wiping cream they sell at high price and there is nothing left in the milk At the farm in my young days we would take a percentage of milk and run it through the centrifuged for making butter etc and what the left over called butter milk was given to the pigs Thanks for the video guys
The quality of milk is a bigger problem than the milk itself. Highly industrialised dairy farms put cows under enormous stress, then this ersatz milk is pasteurised and denatured. The industry is highly subsidised and the promotion of dairy is about money not health. Raw milk is a great health food in moderation. Excess of anything is problematic.
I drink organic whole milk that is very creamy and organic whole milk vanilla yogurt everyday. And it taste great. I add about six healthy herbs and spices, nuts and flaxseeds everyday. On even days I add in a couple tablespoons of organic cacao nibs.
Im researching on kefir, there is a "water"kefir that dont require lactose. One could make a kefir with the waterkefir on almondmilk og even better macadamiamilk
1:21 that is exactly why I got rid of carbs. with carbs I was hungry all the time, eating 3 times a day and my triglycerides were off the chart. really enjoy not being hungry every 3 hours or less.
My favorite sarcasm argument he's ever made against milk: we're the only animal to drink the milk of another animal. We're not meant to do it. Uhhhh ok. I guess we shouldn't read and write either. Lol. Must be bad. No other animals do it. Let's stick with logic science molecules chemistry. Milk does WHAT in the body to cause problems? I'm listening!
@David Hume it may be. It also might be why we highly adaptive. Also doesn't work the other way. We don't do things because other animals do it. It's just not a good reason to say milk is bad for you. I agree with you it's a Helleva good reason to question it! That makes sense.
We would not survive as human being without the 'tools' we learned to use, like weapons to kill animals and the fat and protein in milk for example. Without it, we would still be eating plants and ants and have the brain content of a small ape. But go ahead: drink Coke in stead of milk...
What this Doctor said is not quite true. The USDA doesn't recommend 3 glasses of milk per day per person. They recommend 2 to 3 servings of dairy 'products'. Anyway, I drink a tall 12 oz glass of whole milk every day and have all my life. (For the past 20 years it's been only organic grass fed cow milk). I'm 67 and have NO osteoporosis, have remained slender and my cholesterol and blood sugar levels are good. If you're not bothered by dairy products and you like milk, I'd say GO FOR IT.
Dr Hyman, you have some wonderful doctors on your podcast. They are always so intelligent, knowledgeable and morally sound. Like yourself. Thanks for all you do.
Its nice to have a physician and researcher, like Dr. David Ludwig, who is insistent on doing well controlled clinical trials in the world of nutrition. Unfortunately, most of what passes in the nutritional world as "research" is junk science in the form of observational studies. While observational studies have their place, they should mostly not be used to draw conclusions about a causal relationship between A and B. They can, at best, be a vehicle to formulate a hypothesis, which should then be tested in a controlled setting - preferably a randomized controlled trial. Thank you Dr. Hyman for giving Dr. Ludwig a chance to reach a wider audience so he can convey how good nutritional research is done. If we were more insistent on only using controlled trials, instead of relying on dubious epidemiology, we would not have subscribed to so many of the nutritional myths that lead us astray from our path towards health.
I have drank milk plus all dairy for 83 years. I am not over weight never have been. I totally disagree. I buy from a dairy direct 😀of course there was no fast food in my youth . We ate one meat 3 vegetables
So does the kefir at least partially digest the lactose? I know kefir can be made with a different base other than milk. I have no issues with milk and really miss yogurt when I am using lactose free milk. The fresh yogurt seems not to make nice thick yogurt when using that tablespoon of yogurt as a starter. Almost seems to need that”milk sugar” to make it turn.
@@bonniemills6083 It's possible that kefir digests all the lactose when you let the culture run it's course. I started my kefir culture from freeze dried grains about 4 years ago. It's like owning a pet, you have to take care of the culture, feeding it and straining the grains out of the completed kefir. It takes me less than ten minutes a day to strain and refeed the culture. The kefir grains live on lactose (or sugar in a water based kefir) and take about a day to culture whole milk, which is what I use. I don't culture yogurt as the variety of bacteria in kefir is much broader, up to 60 different types, making lots of good stuff. I have little to no problem digesting milk and kefir is even easier to digest. Home cultured kefir tastes very little like anything you would buy in a store, really no comparison in quality as far as I'm concerned. It is thick and rich and tangy with just a trace of alcohol.
@@hannabaal150 I enjoyed your post. I, also, make my own kefir milk and kefir water. The grains of both kefir's are very precious and I enjoy taking care of them. The joy of consuming both types of kefir's are exponentially satisfying.
I get, probably, the majority of my calories from butter and full fat cream. The rest from red meat and eggs. On this diet I'm ripped, strong, energetic, feel incredible and have ended several digestion and other minor issues.
The trouble with You Tube comments is that any one can make all sorts of anonymous claims based on one instance of anecdotal evidence and then try to make these claims sound convincing...............get back to us in 20 years if you are young and 10 if you are old!
@@donwinston no I don't. They cause me stomach issues. Especially broccoli and onions. 2 chopped pieces of onions sends me 2 days in extreme indigestion. And there are other problems with lectins and nightshades
Huge milk drinker and cheese eater. So is my whole family. No allergies not overweight no health issues. Nothing, zilch, zep, nada. Love burnt flavor cheeze its to.
The China Study was not a very good study, but if it inspired you, fantastic. I may try the no dairy challenge, but I love my cheese, just may switch to A2 or goats cheese.
@@omadoutlaw4868 believe me, I loved cheese too but just could not ignore all of the health evidence against it (The China Study being just one source of information). I was no-meat for many years before going dairy-free for ethical reasons. I lamely did not consider how much worse the dairy industry was regarding animal welfare and environmental factors. I’m clear that had I not stopped all dairy I’d be dead.
Whatever works for you is great but don't base it on "The China Study". One of his former students claims Collin Campbell selected findings to support his preconceived views. He had a bias and philosophy on what people should and should not eat before he began his "study". Very similar to research studies funded by the cigarette manufacturing associations, or any other biased group.
Lactose intolerance is very common, affecting up to 70% of people worldwide. The most common symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, gas, nausea and vomiting. There have been reports of other symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue and eczema, but these are rarer and not well established.
I am one of that 70%. I have had allergic reactions to milk since I was a small baby. It is not just milk, but all milk products. I love butter and cheese so I have them in small amounts and know I will pay the price if I go beyond a certain amount. But I don't even consider drinking milk. I get most of my calcium from meat, fish, eggs and green leafy veggies. This video, though informational, reminds me of a dairy ad.
Dairies that are exclusive in the production of raw products tend to keep their facilities much cleaner whereas dairies that rely on pasteurization aren't always so strict regarding raw products. Use the land that is growing the grain to pasture and graze the animals along with less consumption of meat and dairy. That's the solution if we can navigate the politics surrounding it. Focus more on food quality and production ethics, not quantity.
one area which is on my "need to research" is bone loss differences in countries that do not drink much milk but are eating lots of animal meat. Why? Back 20 years ago (or more) the question was brought up that its the consumption of meat, which causes highly acidic conditions in the kidneys & elsewhere, may cause some metabolic acidosis. The human bones are NOT where we prefer to obtain calcium molecules to counter-act this problem....Because, unless you are physically active, the resulting loss of calcium to counter the higher pH in your blood from excessive meat eating, is not put back. Particularly this is a concern for women & men who are prone to osteoporosis.
Add to that drinking carb loaded drinks all day and 3 meals plus snacks and boom! You have a pandemic of obsessed/diabetes/heart disease and all the other metabolic disorders.
I used to drink almost a gallon of whole milk a day until I went off to college. I didn’t get my first cavity until I was 42, I’ve had a total of two cavities (I’m now 53). I’ve never broken a bone. I credit milk.
Well, I've never got either a cavity or a broken bone, I'm 57 and I haven't drink a drop of milk since I was 8. It's true that I've always had some sheep and goat mature cheeses and also that since I turned 40 I have about 6 oz yoghurt and 6 oz kefir per day.
I was raised on a dairy farm, so now as senior citizen I decided to try a full dairy diet for 40 days consisting of raw Jersey, A2 milk fresh from the farm, plus some raw Camembert cheese for some solids, and I thrived while also losing 2kg. I still drink around 1.5 litres per day, choosing it rather than water (letting the cows filter out any impurities in municipal water), and I'm in the very best of health, more often than not being assumed to be more than 10 years younger than my true age. Considering one of the healthiest populations in the World, the Maasai tribe of East Africa, exist on a diet solely of milk and cow's blood, I think I'm in good company. Finally, Mark admits his opposition to dairy may largely be due to his dislike of milk since a child, so I don't believe he should be commenting on whether it's healthy or not.
well said. I didn't like drinking milk all my life though I did eat some dairy. have been b12 deficient all life. but now choose milk over dairy. I will see how long I live. and I can assure that I am trying best to follow a healthy diet, eating hardly out, least processed garbage outside, home cooked least processed foods, high in fiber, minerals, and huge amount of dairy without b12 ever in life for I swore on my parents I will not take them. so let's see where I land. if I die early I have not proven my point. but people should not make policies unless they have proven something because if that happens people need to stand up against that too
Dr Hyman, I have followed you for years, and very much appriciate your integration of health, genetic diversity, animals and the planets welfare. I am a swedish anaesthetist, with genes from Estonia, same as Finland. When I was 55 years I was solo parent to two teenagers, my daughter was aggressiv and addicted to expensive clothes and bags. And I had a small stroke, recovered, but the MRT showed multiple small-artery inflammation all over the brain. That scared me really, and during several years I experimented with trying to improve my health, what worked was better sleep, less stress, change of workplace, and diet. No suger, no wheat, but butter, cream, olive oil, cheese, fish, greens, meat was good for me. The estonian people ate only rye bread, fat dairy, fermented dairy and vegetables, they were lean, many lived till old age, though during the Sovjet Union era they smoked and had too much alkohol. And their pork tastes so good that the pigs must have had a good and healthy life. My father told me how they tended the familys pig. Now I feel so much better, it was a great surprise to me that I didn’t tolerate wheat. Thank you so much for your blog, with interesting discussions. I haven’t made any new brain MRT, but it feels so much better. Thanks a lot. Martina
Ane Kirstine Nørby She made me spend a lot of money for bags, clothes, makeup etc with threats, that made my stress and workload heavier. Now she is fine, 23 years. A kind, lovely woman. 🌸 Martina
I eat yogurt, eat cheese and drink milk most days...I did when I was a child and I do it now...I am 51 and never broke a bone. I practice skydiving, scuba diving and motorcycling, cycling, karate and running.
Why eat or drink dairy at all? IGF-1 will increase your risk of cancer. In other words, it causes 'specific issues'. Common sense would suggest consuming as little as possible.

Dr. Ludwig is the real deal. You can see how he is modest about making claims, always qualifying what he says because the research is incomplete or there are issues still to be explored. Dr. Hyman tends to take preliminary findings and extrapolate them a bit too far sometimes.
A lot of foods we eat now weren't necessary for our ancestors, fruits/vegetables other carbohydrates. That regularly became consumed only after the Neolithic period. Eggs are meant to develop into chickens, but people use them as food. So what if milk is supposed to be for calfs? Think dairy products aren't that bad. Maybe the estrogen and growth hormones could make u give it up.

Amen to Full Fat Dairy. I don't think it is fair to say saturated fat is not healthy if the bad effect is caused by processing foods, high carb diet, or high sugar foods combining with those good saturated fat from animal or plant source in a diet. It is like linking driving any vehicle is dangerous because accidents happened with a drunk driver. Saturated fat is demonized due to association of someone poor diet....is that justified. Definitely, in my opinion & experience growing up in Asia, there were seldom cases of broken burns in young people than in US when I immigrated to US more than 30 yes ago. Certainly drinking milk does not make your born stronger...unless you are babies or toddlers. I urge the health science communities to do more "good" studies on proper nutrition. I also urge the government to post law to stop the Food Industry from making health claims without good science-based researches. I did low fat diet before to lose weight in college. At that time,, I felt weak & didn't keep the weight off for long in my younger age. In my 50's now, and feel great doing Intermittent Fasting & Keto diet. Cannot believe it that we have been lying to by FDA & USDA on Food Guideline to eat high carb low fat diet.
Greetings from the Netherlands. Where we drink a lot of milk, eat a lot of cheese. Tallest people in the world, among the country with the oldest people in the world and Nr. 1 happiest kids in the world. Maybe the reason we are intelligent beings is that we started to use dairy... who will say?
life expectancy is not a synonym of life quality. Tall is a genetic trait, unrelated with food and what about happiness? There are many ways to measure it and I don't see how eating cheese and dairy in general might affect that, besides creating people addicted to saturated fat who will eventually have diabetes or heart conditions.
@@giovanbattistafichera8439 you're right about genetics, but the strongest survive and the tallest men get more interest from women. You can not draw the conclusion that food has nothing to do with it. Obesity and insuline resistance ate not caused by saturated fats but by sugar.
@@asphalthedgehog6580 the strongest survive? Do you live in the jungle? Taller men get more attention simply because that's what the current beauty standards are, not because taller=better. And the only way food plays a role in all this is that nowadays we have enough calories available to feed bigger and taller people and no, diabetes is caused by saturated fat, do some research on the topic.
@@giovanbattistafichera8439 no diabetes is not caused by fat. Maybe read something about it that's not 50 years old... We were talking about animal fat here. If you mean processed fats you must be right, most illnesses probably are caused by that. We only use animal fat and olive oil; nothing else. You must agree that diabetes is caused by insuline resistance. By strongest I do not mean muscles; we would not make a chance against animals.
Thank you for the informative video, but the science is not with you on dairy. There is also too much of a focus on milk. There have been major observational studies that have found benefits to eating dairy, particularly cheese and yogurt. One that I recall is the Golestan Dairy Food Intake Study. This was a 10 or 11 year study ending in 2017 that had more than 42,000 subjects in a province of Iran. The study was funded mainly by the NIH and National Cancer Institute and involved a number of well-respected research institutions, including Harvard (Dr. Willetts), Cambridge, Mt. Sinai Hospital and others. This study found significant benefits to eating dairy with respect to lower all-cause mortality, reduction in cardiovascular disease and reduction in death from CVD. Favorable statistics were given for cheese and yogurt. An eye opening finding was that the highest quintile of dairy eaters saw the greatest benefits. There was no or little increase in cancer, maybe not statistically significant. The two Harvard observational studies, The Nurses Study and the Professionals Study, with about 300,000 subjects found a similar result. These are the gold standard of observational studies. Other large dairy studies confirm this result. BTW, the Journal of the American College of Cardiology published a study in June 2020 which looked at all the randomly controlled clinical trials, observational studies and metaanalyses of these for saturated fat and found that saturated fat doesn't cause heart disease and there should not be any limitation on it in the diet. To the extent that it raises cholesterol, the study noted that it's not the small, high density particles that become lodged in the artery wall. It sounded like Dr. Ludwig was endorsing the high fat, low carb diet, because of how much saturated fat is oxidized in this diet. It doesn't circulate in the blood. The dangerous fat, as he said, was the saturated fat created by eating too many carbs which is deposited in the body. He also identified sugar as the main causative factor in heart disease. This is what low carb advocates have been saying for a long time.
Carbs, particularly simple carbs such as sugar are responsible for low grade systemic inflammation throughout the entire body. The CRP blood test identifies how much inflammation you have. Systemic inflammation is an overall general health hazard to be avoided.
A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2014 examined the relationship between dairy intake and stroke risk among Swedish men and women. The study followed over 74,000 participants for an average of 10 years and found that higher consumption of dairy products, particularly milk and fermented dairy, was associated with a reduced risk of stroke. The study suggested that the beneficial effects of dairy consumption on stroke risk may be due to the presence of certain nutrients, such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium, as well as the presence of probiotics in fermented dairy products (Larsson et al., 2014).
When I was a year old, I stopped drinking milk. According to my mother I didn't like milk, she told my pediatrician and he told her that once a baby cow is weaned they no longer need milk. Therefore, whole food has all of the nutrients we require.
I wish people would stop demonizing dairy just because its not good for most people. Just because you can't have it, don't pretend its bad for everyone so you can feel better about missing out. - regards, a milk drinking pale red headed northerner.
I wish that you would of covered A1 and A2 milk and the major difference which you have not covered. The devil's in the milk! Also kale has high content of oxalates which should not be consumed in high dosages. Wow lots of information left out!
Kale has one of the most high oxalates and when consuming you need calcium at the same time. The chemical the body produces to break down the oxalates stops if gut is damaged .e.g leaky gut.
@@mdadilahnaf1961 there was a trial done for A1 and A2 milk and I believe the A2 batch got tempered with to make it turn out not effective. All farmers should be changing over the herd to produce A2. There is even a book may not be in circulation now...called the milk healing diet.
I love dairy. I love yogurt, ice milk, ice cream, all types of cheese. I became lactose intolerant after being on a medication that almost destroyed my digestive system. I started using lactose free milk and eventually my intolerance went away. I have, however reduced my cheese intake.
If you love milk you MUST get raw milk, raw butter, raw cheeses ...it's the processing that is damaging but the gatekeepers who want to keep you enslaved to the medical establishment divert your attention to dealing with symptoms
I know this is a late comment, but in regards to the milk coming from grass fed cows depending on how good their diet is, is real. That is how we obtain different cheeses from different areas which taste different. This is especially obvious when you take the same cheese manufacturing process. That is why Gruyère from Switzerland is so different from France, or Munster produced in Alsace is different from Citeaux in Burgundy etc. It’s also the same in wine. Terroir is real.
Did Dr H just say something like "too much meat ... acid load" in the context if osteoporosis. Bollocks. If he's that out of touch with modern research and still spouting elderly debunked myths, I'm out
Bone is made of calcium but calcium is not what makes bone hard. Chalk is calcium carbonate. No one wants bone as soft and brittle as chalk. MAGNESIUM helps make bone hard. I say helps because there are synergistic elements in bone. When magnesium is insufficient, bone will absorb fluoride which causes abnormal bone growth such as bone spurs. It's also important to consider that calcium ions have a negative charge while magnesium ions are positive. In soft tissue, calcium is excitatory and magnesium relaxes. Ideally, calcium and magnesium should be in a 1:1 ratio in the body. Balance is the key here, unless you're dealing with, most likely, a magnesium deficiency or hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia underlies a number of disease processes. Restore balance in the body first...
I was rather surprised by these quotes from the work of Walter Willett, who has a heavy bias toward vegetarian and vegan eating. There is not going to be anything good to say about dairy from such a person...
Nutritional confusion is the king of marketing. Fasting is a lot safer than eating. Some people can do vegan or vegetarian in a healthy way, but most can't, thanks for comments. All people, Doctors included are biased.
and for the 35 percent of the population that is not lactose intolerant, dairy products are an excellent source of protein, minerals, vitamins and always healthy saturated fat
I found a way to make my milk from 10% cream and it tastes good. I mix it 2/1 with filtered water. I have a carb issue. This also reduces any remaining hormones and costs a little less that regular milk. I am not concerned by any nutrient loss as I have been taking a quality Multi 2X/day for a few decades as well as other essential supplements
for over 34 years I have taught people self-care of several chronic diseases...Diabetes, Heart disease, COPD, asthma, and obesity. as follows, "Cow's milk was designed to fatten baby calves. You are not a baby calf & so your need for cow's milk is a habit you need to change. Why? Because it has enough milk sugar to stimulate the insulin response in people who do not have diabetes. That insulin response means you will get more added weight from drinking milk. If you need to gain weight, great. If not? Not so great."....by the way, all my friends from childhood that drank lots of milk have type 2 diabetes. Me? No! Although my parents insisted we drink 2 glasses of milk per day (breakfast & dinner), once I left home I stopped & only use it in my coffee.
Ok, cows eat grass and absorb calcium no problem, huh? They also have four compartments to their stomachs. Plus, how much grass does a cow eat every single day? So, do we need twenty five pounds of grass a day or what is the number? Wouldn't just a little milk be easier to get calcium than eating grass? But, the other doctor did say a serving of some kind of fish and/or kale. I forget the fish he said, so there's that.
Milk is great. But it comes with a lot of side notes. You must be able to digest it, (most people are varius degree of intolerant), many hormones and antibiotics from the cows diet, the A1 casein is not well tolarated...
@@alexforce9 Yeah, those people could eat the fish or kale. I was a bodybuilder for twenty years. I drank two gallons of skim milk mixed with Perfect 1100 everyday for twelve of those years. I would carry one gallon with me till I drank it all, then start on the second. I would leave it out of the refrigerator the whole time and keep it by my bed at night to drink when I woke up in the middle of the night starving. Everybody told me milk upset their stomach. It never once bothered me. Guess I got lucky.
@@alexforce9 Yes, now that you mention it, I only drink raw milk now. But, I'm fifty so I drink very little milk because it will make you fat as a hog if you're not in the gym four or five hours a day.
Various plants such as spinach have calcium but what is not mentioned is that the plant calcium is bound up in plant molecules and minimally bioavailable to us. We absorb only about 5% if that.
I drink Raw milk, from a certified biodynamic organic farm, 100% Grass-fed, No Grain, pasture raised in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and I am very fortunate that it's very tightly controlled, tested AND cerified organic by OCIA. I buy it through Mom's organic supermarket it comes right from Kimberton Hills Dairy, Kimberton Pennsylvania and it's not pasteurized , inon homogenized. It's whole fat. It's A2 milk which comes from an older breed of cows that we evolved with and digest differently. It offers many minerals and enzymes and is completely different from the typical highly politicized, federally subsidized inferior pasteurized homogenized regular milk sans the healthy whole fat and all the live enzymes and minerals. The skim milk and 1% 2% are the worst.
When i grew up on the farm many decades ago we milked a herd of 52 Jersey cows. All we ever drank was raw milk straight from the cow’s utter. It has a very wholesome and completely different taste than pasteurized milk the dairy industry pushes these days. Pasteurized milk is essentially dead milk because the pasteurization process kills most everything that could be beneficial to us. The dairy industry pushes a fake narrative to have you believe its nutritious; however its the exact opposite. Follow the money and the marketing hype becomes clear.There are many wholesome foods that give you far greater benefits than milk ever could.
I love all these comments saying "I've been drinking milk for X years and my bones/health/whatever is fine". WHO CARES? Science is not about anecdotes. You need big numbers to come to significant conclusions or else we'll end up listening to whatever. There are people who can eat cheeseburgers every day and not develop heart conditions. Does that mean cheeseburgers should be included in the dietary recommendations for the larger population? Listen to science, and if it doesn't apply to you, ask yourself this: "is it possible that I'm healthy DESPITE this habit, rather than BECAUSE of it?". I personally don't give a fuck if Jimmy has lost 30kg on a keto diet and is now an accomplished ultrarunner or Mike is on paleo and is blood sugar is great, or Karen has obtained great result with a frugivore diet and I don't give a fuck if there is ONE study done in University X that proves this. I want to know what THE VAST MAJORITY of research actually suggest.
Anecdotes are often the initiating factor for a "science study" because it's often observations from such anecdotal observations which prompts science to study such possible connections between A + B. Unfortunately science is often slow to catch up with anecdotal experiences, sometimes "science" is thousands of years behind what the ancients discovered thru sheer observation of trial and error, observation, and cause and effect. Modern science has often merely explained the why of ancient practises.
@@giovanbattistafichera8439 What's your point? We also "know for a fact there's no reason to have" any particular food. Grains are certainly not an "essential" foodstuff, there's no "reason" to eat it except you happen to like it. Various cultures around the world eat foods that others do not eat and vice versa. Beef is not an item in Japanese eating however seafood is. Europeans liked dairy and still do, others do not. Some Europeans were big on pasta, others on pastries, others Olive oil. But regardless, what a person likes to eat is reason enough. Modern supermarkets have much more varied selections of foodstuffs than our grandparent's grocery store had. There are lots of varied choices. If you don't like dairy, choose something else. The same thing goes for those who don't like grains, eggplant, or whatever. Today's supermarkets are a huge smorgasbord of choices. There's no reason for one over another except for personal preferences.
As a young kid I drank a gallon of milk a day up until the age of 13 or 14. I still love milk and buy only organic whole milk. I have been on a milk fast for about 30 days. And I feel great, I’m actually thinking of giving it up all together. I am 6’ 2” 190lbs of medium build and was always skinny as a kid. I Never had a weight problem. My mother was a housewife and cooked very healthy fresh food. Never went without fresh cooked and never trash food snacks. No chips or junk food. Home made cakes! Were the only sweets in the house. As a kid I had to ride my bike to the closest store to get candy. I am now 60 and may have to give up my beloved milk.
Adding vitamin D3 to the diet can increase bone density if supplemented with vitamin k2. When I was growing up, the only way I had milk was either in cereal, or with chocolate. That, in time gave me a weight problem that I've been fighting my whole life. Eating cereal left me always hungry, because it was always laden with a lot of sugar.
I believe that Dr. Hyman has completely missed the essential question. He builds this exaggerated case that dairy is bad. He states, "Not to mention, upwards of 65% of the world's population are lactose intolerant after infancy." He fails to ask why, why is this happening. Obviously we as humans have been drinking milking and consuming dairy for eons. And this consumption of dairy has not historically been an issue. Yet, now it is an issue. The answer is simple, and yet, the solution for each individual can be complicated. The cause of dairy based reactions is going to be unique to each individual. Dr. Hyman is tossing everyone in to the the all to common western medicine perspective of "one size fits all - everybody gets treated the same". The simple answer is - digestion. A person will sooner or later have a reaction to whatever food they ingest if they cannot digest it. It is just that simple. Now the potentially complicated part of the answer is why does a particular person not digest dairy. To find a particular person's cause for reaction a health partitioner must be a very good detective. The solution is likely too complicated for an individual to try to solve by trial and error. A good practitioner can be helpful and greatly short-cut the solution process. There are some likely issues to investigate. Eating the standard American diet over time will compromise almost everyone's digestion. Eating processed food containing preservatives, sugar and well, processed food :-) will lessen the body's capacity to digest. Eating a diet whole food, proteins, grains and veggies in their natural form can go a long way to resolving digestive issues. And that alone may not be enough. Emotional issues and stress directly and immediately impact digestion. Other causes of poor digestion are gut pathogens such as mold, fungus, bacteria, virus and parasites, these are quite common and very often missed with standard medical diagnostic testing. Once the body loses the capacity to completely digest a food, the immune system begins to "see" this partially digested food as a toxin and/or a foreign invader. Then the immune system begins to respond as the immune system is supposed to. It releases inflammatory compounds to countermand to attempt to kill the gut pathogen. If the immune system released inflammatory compounds resolve the issue, that's great. Often this is the underlying process when people experience short-term digestive issues. There was an issue and the body was able to resolve it, and the symptoms resolved. If the immune system is unable to resolve the issue, over time these inflammatory compounds released by the immune system will degrade the integrity of the lining of the intestine which further compromises digestion. This is the mechanism that people observe as they become reactive to more and more foods. Without resolving the true underlying cause this inflammatory condition will spread throughout the body. We all have have genetic weak links. Whatever the particular person's "weak link" is will determine what additional disease processes develop. If the chink in the armor is the pancreas, a person may develop diabetes. If it's skin, the person will have rashes, hives and eczema. The ongoing inflammatory process can degrade the integrity of the blood brain barrier and this inflammation will affect the production of neurotransmitters which result in mood and emotional issues. If the liver is the issue one may elevated cholesterol. So .... back to where we started - dairy. Dairy in America is very much a processed food. Remember 20 years ago when buying milk we always checked the expiration date, which was normally no more that one week away? Milk today is irradiated. The irradiation process kills ALL the bacteria in milk. Corporate agriculture does this so milk can sit on the shelf without spoiling. The bacteria that irradiation kills is actually essential for most to fully digest milk. Strike 1. One might try to source raw milk, although raw milk can also contain pathogens, so it is essential that raw milk is from a reliable farmer. That said, it is fairly common for people that cannot digest milk to be able to digest other forms of dairy such as cheese. The fermentation process that converts milk to dairy actually consumes the casein and other proteins and converts them to other forms of protein. Casein is the most common protein to which people react, the fermentation process eliminates the casein. Dairy is a very nutritious food (when not processed) so try harder cheeses first, like parmesan, aged cheddars and aged goudas. As one moves to softer cheese, reactions may appear. For many people mozzarella , Monterey Jack and provolone are too soft, they have not aged long enough. At the end of the day is impractical and unhealthy to continue to remove reaction causing foods. Food is nutrition. We need it, and, we have to be able to digest it. Please do not ignore your food actions issues. As I explained above, poor digestion progresses to potentially damaging and life threatening disease. Eat whole foods, avoid junk food, find ways to deal with stress and emotional issues (easier said than done) and find a good comprehensive thinking (holistic) practitioner and resolve your issue. Your payoff is great health, great energy and a clear mind. One more thing, do what Mark Hyman did not do. Always ask your health practitioner - why. Why are you treating this way, does this treatment actually address the underlying cause - and not just treat the symptoms. Good luck!
Living Ayurveda when you say irradiated are you talking as an actual radioactive isotope in alpha beta gamma particles or are you saying through the pasteurisation process be it milk in the bottle or UHT( ultra heat treated).
@@BC-vg3zf The FDA allows 3 methods for irradiating foods: Gamma rays are emitted from radioactive forms of the element cobalt (Cobalt 60) or of the element cesium (Cesium 137). Gamma radiation is used routinely to sterilize medical, dental, and household products and is also used for the radiation treatment of cancer. X-rays are produced by reflecting a high-energy stream of electrons off a target substance (usually one of the heavy metals) into food. X-rays are also widely used in medicine and industry to produce images of internal structures. Electron beam (or e-beam) is similar to X-rays and is a stream of high-energy electrons propelled from an electron accelerator into food.
I have issues with the amount of lactose in milk, but what about yogurts and cheese? I have difficulty getting enough protein in my diet, but plain greek yogurt helps and I don't have stomach pain from it.
lactose is milk "sugar". Fermentation of milk involves probiotic microbes eating the lactose and reproducing to produce more probiotic microbes. Kefir and yogurt are two products of the fermentation of lactose.
Sadly, the Walter Willet man referred to that works with the guest, at Harvard has a massive influence on the current food policy that has gotten us sick. He is a professed vegetarian and promotes this lifestyle for all. This talk was great however always consider the source. And interestingly, the diet promoted on the Harvard website encourages the use of PUFAs, grains and to limit red meat. No thank you.
You people should have been there on the plain of Mamre with Abraham when he served up a meal to Elohim and the 2 Angel's that were with him. (see Genesis 18:8) You could have slapped the meat, milk and butter out of their hands. NO! NO! GOD! TOO MUCH DAIRY! RED MEAT BAD!
Unfortunately not every one has an honest approach when judging food stuffs. Too often the decision comes first, often based on emotions, and the self-convincing and justification comes later.
In the 2-3 million years of hunting and eating large ruminant animals we would have absolutely drank raw milk. If your tribe takes down a female lactating animal why wouldn't you suck or milk out the liquid from the udders or teats. We used to eat EVERYTHING from the kill. Our sensitivities should not drive our hypotheses on what we used to do to thrive. Milk is delicious now and it would have been delicious back then. Too much calcium? Calcium from greens? I cant believe I'm hearing "intelligent" doctors comparing an animal that eats grass using multiple stomachs to digest said greens, with a monogastric animal such as humans and thinking they are same. This is a disgrace. FIRST, DO NO HARM..........

When I was young, my main staple of food that launched my day was milk and cereal! I recall once on the school bus, I would always have a stomach ache and would be buckled over with pain. It wasn’t until years later that I learned the devastating affects of dairy which I gave up and realized significant benefits of enjoying my meals by giving up dairy!! No more pain!!
Same here as a child, except I found out later on in life that I was lactose intolerant. Now, I drink Organic Valley Lactose Free Milk and my stomach can digest it properly.
I did to, but it was the sugar+bht, preservatives in the cereals, also used to eat margerine instead of butter, No trouble with milk or butter, except acne

people don't drink a lot of milk, they drink a lot of something that's called milk. real milk is raw and full of good fats. the stuff in the store is cooked and some of the fat was removed. this study is talking about so called milk not real milk.
And until fairly recently that was the ONLY milk there was. That and and cultured milk, also very healthy!
True. I grew up in New-Zealand, 1.2 liters of milk a day minimun, high meat, masses of organic fruit, loads of high glycemic potatoes, very litle green veg, loads of cereal, sugar on everything. The milk had cream on the top, the bit everyone wanted. I am now 66 and went keto 3 years ago because I stated to get fat. However I was in mid 50's before my BMI started to rise. Was BMI 23 until early 40's, lean and strong. Bones are very strong, teeth are white with 2 fillings got in early teens from school dental nurse. Still drink 1 liter a day but not low fat. All medical markers in the green, at 66 metabolic age = to 45 fit healthy male. My diet as a kid was not ideal but we ate no junk food. I am now a CrossFit fittness fanatic.
Exactly!
Yes. We found raw milk to buy every week at the farmers market.
It's not impossible to find the milk of which you speak, but nearly impossible.
Old news to me. I did my beauty therapy thesis on “milk is for calves”. It didn’t go down well 25 years ago. I had a lot of evidence but was ahead of my time.

In our schools (Louisiana), the kids have to choose between white 2%, pink strawberry skim milk, or chocolate skim milk. This is for breakfast and lunch. Plus breakfast typically has an orange juice offering as well with a pop tart or cereal. It is despicable.

well, in that choice range, I guess I'd go with the white 2%, but it's clearly an unfair context. So much added sugars.

@@vonitaesse4307 :- D
Sandra Westley I think raw milk is a totally different ball game, it’s supposed to be good for you as against ordinary milk.
In hindsight, a lot of this makes total sense. I drank huge quantities of milk as a kid. My mom would buy 5 gallons of 2% milk on the weekend and resupply mid-week because my brother and I drank so much (30oz glasses at a time). The "Got Milk?" campaigns were really powerful at that time and everybody believed what we were told about milk. It's fascinating to learn more and more about how we've been misled by bad science and marketing for decades.
Same upbringing. Always 2% by the gallon. And if there wasn't orange juice next to the milk, Mom could always reach into the freezer for the frozen concentrate and your juice was ready to go. Sad watching my mom struggle for years on Weight Watchers. At least now, we have a chance to reeducate ourselves.
We are still getting marketed and science is still twisted to get the results that industry needs. Rickets is back! And the price of milk is so much more in Canada than in the US that those who cannot afford to purchase milk are giving putting pop and juice in those baby bottles and offering less nutritious beverages to older children. Not much difference in shopping for breakfast cereal when sugar coated cereals are what is encouraged. Unless there is an obvious symptom of lactose intolerance or celiac, children will benefit from the protein in milk. Protein keeps the pangs of sugar craving down as well as providing and ensuring against rickets.
How do you know milk is bad? Are you sick now from it? No scientific studies support that milk is bad?
In hindsight, when I was growing up, there were no commercials......just a clean farmer down the road!!
@@bonniemills6083hmmm. . .children benefit from the protein in milk? Like casein, whey, many others? Ever hear of caseomirphins?

They barely mentioned A1 vs A2 dairy. would be interested to hear more about that.
Exactly,A2 is what milk used to be and goats are all A2.
Indeed, jersey milk is really different
Another issue with milk is hormones and precursors to hormones leading to hormonal imbalances that can lead to cancers. I have been drinking A2 milk now, but just quit 3 weeks ago, will see if that makes any difference
in america and many other countries, its allowed to use hormones/pesticides/GMO-feed/antibiotics and whatnot :s A1 or A2 is of low relevance in that context...at 48 mins he mentions that A1 seems to cause more problems than A2 and that the dairy industry in america develloped this problem from the breeding of the cows. But i do agree on your point, if you want to drink milk, choose A2 and organice grass fed free range :)
@@omadoutlaw4868 ah. I drank some raw milk. I recalled, This is what milk used to taste like when I was a child and it was not homogenized.
When I was a tween- I lived in a small midwest town down the street from a dairy. We got our milk fresh, non-homogenized, and I did not have any digestive issues with that milk. It was not until we moved away and drank homogenized milk that I started having digestive issues.
Lori, what you have observed is not *causal*. You've noticed a coincidental timing, but no confirmed cause and effect. You got older, and lactose intolerance can hit suddenly as you age.
Now you may be right--but you can prove or disprove that by going back to nonhomogonized milk, or making other "milk" changes.
My family drank lots of milk when we were growing up and we were extremely healthy. No health problems whatsoever. No bone problems as adults either. I take nutrition advice with a grain of salt. There are so many other factors besides food. I do agree that sugar is a real problem, especially high fructose corn syrup. And all the horrible additives in our food is making us sick. It’s probably not the food but more the garbage they put in it that’s the problem.
Yes, but is not ethical to drink milk of other species, or the cows, or goats, dogs, cats, etc. drink human milk? Think about this. I stopped drink it almost at the age of 40 and I notice the differences. The cow’s milk has much phosphorus than the human milk, the protein that is the casein, is not good because makes intestinal permeability. So, the milk is pro inflammatory food.
My uncle smoked and lived till 104. Whats your point?

In my family the only person who had strong bones, teeth till the end and never even suffered RA or osteoarthritis ever was my grandmother. she drank a lot of dairy not just a little with tons of sugar, chocolate powder, and fruit shakes. She drank real milk. you need to take this BS on social media and studies with grain of salt because these propaganda promoting doctors will not do randomized trials long term and restrict other unhealthy factors in groups and then see results.
I am CERTAIN if they did they will find dairy FAR superior to meat for bone health.
my other grandmother who ate fish n chicken n eggs all life with very little dairy intake only suffered terrible arthritis. so a good trial in my family itself. this is why medical doctors need to be taken with grain of salt today else they will convince you to buy supplements over food. hear Dr Robert Lustig and Dr Aseem Malhotra intake on dairy.
any one can blow trumpet on correlation but fail to invest in science to prove a real cause. so where do these doctors stand? in my eyes in the commercial world to delude us with their propaganda based studies.
unless they don't become political to influence Public policies on their fake cherry picked observational studies or studies where they don't control enough co-founders and don't even know if enough co-founders they are to be negated..

I really appreciate this wonderful discussion. I am a 65 yr old female that suffers from anemic problems. Recently I started using raw goats milk, not a lot, I make custard (not sweetened) in the evening, hoping this will be easier nutrient absorption, and started adding it to my coffee. also switched to carnivore diet, which made an incredible difference in my health. Waiting until December to take a new blood test.
I did carnivore for 5 years. Zero fiber. Biggest mistake of my life. Ruined my digestion and gut. Almost 2 years later I’m still trying to heal. It’s been hell. Stay away from that dangerous diet! And I would advise you to stop using the drug caffeine. That adds to your anemia as it hinders absorption of minerals and ruins your digestion. A horrible drug that everyone is addicted to.
Calcium is absorbed best from whole milk. I saw the old time nutritionist Adele Davis write the chemical formula of digestion showing this. Of course organic, pastured, grass fed raw A2 milk is best. Visiting the farm and seeing the care of the cows is even better. Goat milk is great too.
The law won't allow us raw milk.😕
I eat cheese yogurt every day. I grew up guzzling milk. All through my teens. Never did me any harm.

Dairy is a great and welcome treat: milk, cream, whipped cream, yogurt, and cheese are all so great, especially cheese. But, by all means, avoid any food that gives you problems.
A truly informative dialogue,especially regarding goat and sheep dairy as they graze naturally!

Food is medicine for the body and every one's body is different. I lived on nothing else but a raw camel milk three times a day for six months and I have never felt healthier, leaner, and energized my whole life. Every time I do that I come back with the energy of 20 years old. I really believe that our ancestor's diet, their environment is encoded in our DNA and the more we deviate from that, the more food problems we run into.
Where did you grow up? Where are you from? I've not seen camel milk in any store in the US. Is it widely available in the Arab countries?
EXACTLY!
@@LisaMurphy You can order raw camel milk from Desert Farms in CA. Apparently they ship all over the country.
Raw is the key. Pasteurization kills.
@@mrsducky3428 I drink raw milk, and I love it.
Dairy with its fat, and vitamin D is what enabled Swedes to survive the long winters with hardly any sunlight.
As far as osteoporosis goes: Swedes drink absurd amounts of coffee, and not the organic kind. The most heavily sprayed food crop in the world. They also eat absurd amounts of glyphosate sprayed grains. Kale they’ll eat once a year, for Christmas.
They are also VERY sedentary.
Yeah, that's why i take everything YT health gurus claim with a -grain- handful of salt.
Especially if they have agendas or part of a group.
Multiple factors should be controlled when speaking about milk if we want to objectively assign its nutritional value.Like:
-pasteurized Milk has its enzymes destroyed(even worse the long endurance milk)
-commercial milk are from cows on mainly grain feedlot, and the worse kind of grains, corn.
-commercial milk are from cows full on antibiotics/hormones.
-Milk cows are genetically engineered to produce ENORMOUS amounts of low quality milk.Volume over quality.
etc etc
Monica Georgson I have question, please.
Are you from Sweden, or are you talking about what scientists and written books have told you?
Swedes and norwegians get their vitamin d from cod liver oil.
@@pauldi7268 My Swedish grandma gave that to her dog, Didn’t take it herself
@@quantumuniverse5771 I am a native Swede
They remove cream from the milk and test make cheese butter and wiping cream they sell at high price and there is nothing left in the milk
At the farm in my young days we would take a percentage of milk and run it through the centrifuged for making butter etc and what the left over called butter milk was given to the pigs
Thanks for the video guys
The quality of milk is a bigger problem than the milk itself. Highly industrialised dairy farms put cows under enormous stress, then this ersatz milk is pasteurised and denatured. The industry is highly subsidised and the promotion of dairy is about money not health. Raw milk is a great health food in moderation. Excess of anything is problematic.
I drink organic whole milk that is very creamy and organic whole milk vanilla yogurt everyday. And it taste great.
I add about six healthy herbs and spices, nuts and flaxseeds everyday. On even days I add in a couple tablespoons of organic cacao nibs.
Raw milk is illegal in Illinois.
But what about kefir? That’s fermented milk with all of the benefits of fermented foods! Works wonders for my health!
Im researching on kefir, there is a "water"kefir that dont require lactose. One could make a kefir with the waterkefir on almondmilk og even better macadamiamilk
@@flothoejmand8452 a well-fermented kefir is around 99% lactose-free anyway...
1:21 that is exactly why I got rid of carbs. with carbs I was hungry all the time, eating 3 times a day and my triglycerides were off the chart. really enjoy not being hungry every 3 hours or less.
My favorite sarcasm argument he's ever made against milk: we're the only animal to drink the milk of another animal. We're not meant to do it. Uhhhh ok. I guess we shouldn't read and write either. Lol. Must be bad. No other animals do it. Let's stick with logic science molecules chemistry. Milk does WHAT in the body to cause problems? I'm listening!
@David Hume it may be. It also might be why we highly adaptive. Also doesn't work the other way. We don't do things because other animals do it. It's just not a good reason to say milk is bad for you. I agree with you it's a Helleva good reason to question it! That makes sense.
Also when animals are given the chance, they will drink other species' milk. We're the only ones to do it because we just have the means to do so
@@rins6126 no way!!! Haha... Even better.
We would not survive as human being without the 'tools' we learned to use, like weapons to kill animals and the fat and protein in milk for example.
Without it, we would still be eating plants and ants and have the brain content of a small ape.
But go ahead: drink Coke in stead of milk...
@@youtubingbabs so cats don't like dairy?
What this Doctor said is not quite true. The USDA doesn't recommend 3 glasses of milk per day per person. They recommend 2 to 3 servings of dairy 'products'. Anyway, I drink a tall 12 oz glass of whole milk every day and have all my life. (For the past 20 years it's been only organic grass fed cow milk). I'm 67 and have NO osteoporosis, have remained slender and my cholesterol and blood sugar levels are good. If you're not bothered by dairy products and you like milk, I'd say GO FOR IT.
common sense. yes
"Milk is nature's perfect food" - if you are a baby cow then yes it is..

Dr Hyman, you have some wonderful doctors on your podcast. They are always so intelligent, knowledgeable and morally sound. Like yourself. Thanks for all you do.
Man oh man...what hasn't Dr. Ludwig accomplished?! Excellent information! Thank you.
Its nice to have a physician and researcher, like Dr. David Ludwig, who is insistent on doing well controlled clinical trials in the world of nutrition. Unfortunately, most of what passes in the nutritional world as "research" is junk science in the form of observational studies. While observational studies have their place, they should mostly not be used to draw conclusions about a causal relationship between A and B. They can, at best, be a vehicle to formulate a hypothesis, which should then be tested in a controlled setting - preferably a randomized controlled trial. Thank you Dr. Hyman for giving Dr. Ludwig a chance to reach a wider audience so he can convey how good nutritional research is done. If we were more insistent on only using controlled trials, instead of relying on dubious epidemiology, we would not have subscribed to so many of the nutritional myths that lead us astray from our path towards health.
I have drank milk plus all dairy for 83 years. I am not over weight never have been. I totally disagree. I buy from a dairy direct 😀of course there was no fast food in my youth . We ate one meat 3 vegetables
Milk from a cow versus processed milk cannot be compared processed milk has almost everything removed from the the cows milk.
I have a cup of milk every day, but I turn it into kefir first. Low to no lactose, lots of fabulous nutrition.
So does the kefir at least partially digest the lactose? I know kefir can be made with a different base other than milk. I have no issues with milk and really miss yogurt when I am using lactose free milk. The fresh yogurt seems not to make nice thick yogurt when using that tablespoon of yogurt as a starter. Almost seems to need that”milk sugar” to make it turn.
@@bonniemills6083 It's possible that kefir digests all the lactose when you let the culture run it's course. I started my kefir culture from freeze dried grains about 4 years ago.
It's like owning a pet, you have to take care of the culture, feeding it and straining the grains out of the completed kefir. It takes me less than ten minutes a day to strain and refeed the culture.
The kefir grains live on lactose (or sugar in a water based kefir) and take about a day to culture whole milk, which is what I use.
I don't culture yogurt as the variety of bacteria in kefir is much broader, up to 60 different types, making lots of good stuff. I have little to no problem digesting milk and kefir is even easier to digest.
Home cultured kefir tastes very little like anything you would buy in a store, really no comparison in quality as far as I'm concerned. It is thick and rich and tangy with just a trace of alcohol.
@@hannabaal150 I enjoyed your post. I, also, make my own kefir milk and kefir water. The grains of both kefir's are very precious and I enjoy taking care of them. The joy of consuming both types of kefir's are exponentially satisfying.
@@BlackButterFlyTongue Thanks, kind of you to say so.

Huge milk drinker and cheese eater. So is my whole family. No allergies not overweight no health issues. Nothing, zilch, zep, nada. Love burnt flavor cheeze its to.
After a cancer diagnosis and reading The China Study, I cut out all dairy and have never looked back...that was 17 years ago.
The China Study was not a very good study, but if it inspired you, fantastic. I may try the no dairy challenge, but I love my cheese, just may switch to A2 or goats cheese.
@@omadoutlaw4868 believe me, I loved cheese too but just could not ignore all of the health evidence against it (The China Study being just one source of information). I was no-meat for many years before going dairy-free for ethical reasons. I lamely did not consider how much worse the dairy industry was regarding animal welfare and environmental factors. I’m clear that had I not stopped all dairy I’d be dead.
China study is hoax look in to it.
@@okok-gg5fl eat whatever you want!😂
Whatever works for you is great but don't base it on "The China Study". One of his former students claims Collin Campbell selected findings to support his preconceived views. He had a bias and philosophy on what people should and should not eat before he began his "study". Very similar to research studies funded by the cigarette manufacturing associations, or any other biased group.
Lactose intolerance is very common, affecting up to 70% of people worldwide. The most common symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, gas, nausea and vomiting. There have been reports of other symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue and eczema, but these are rarer and not well established.
I am one of that 70%. I have had allergic reactions to milk since I was a small baby. It is not just milk, but all milk products. I love butter and cheese so I have them in small amounts and know I will pay the price if I go beyond a certain amount. But I don't even consider drinking milk. I get most of my calcium from meat, fish, eggs and green leafy veggies. This video, though informational, reminds me of a dairy ad.
We should also consider the fact that dairy production is animal abuse...it´s probably the most cruel form of animal agriculture with egg production.
Dairies that are exclusive in the production of raw products tend to keep their facilities much cleaner whereas dairies that rely on pasteurization aren't always so strict regarding raw products.
Use the land that is growing the grain to pasture and graze the animals along with less consumption of meat and dairy. That's the solution if we can navigate the politics surrounding it. Focus more on food quality and production ethics, not quantity.
I will never give up dairy
why would you?? dairy rules...I just get the best
Yep, way better than grains lol. Eggs, meat, some greens and cottage cheese are the best foods ever.
one area which is on my "need to research" is bone loss differences in countries that do not drink much milk but are eating lots of animal meat. Why? Back 20 years ago (or more) the question was brought up that its the consumption of meat, which causes highly acidic conditions in the kidneys & elsewhere, may cause some metabolic acidosis. The human bones are NOT where we prefer to obtain calcium molecules to counter-act this problem....Because, unless you are physically active, the resulting loss of calcium to counter the higher pH in your blood from excessive meat eating, is not put back. Particularly this is a concern for women & men who are prone to osteoporosis.
I find this a very interesting point. Thank you
Is that true?
Ancel Keys largely the father of the low fat myth to tackle obesity , when carbs are the cause.
Add to that drinking carb loaded drinks all day and 3 meals plus snacks and boom! You have a pandemic of obsessed/diabetes/heart disease and all the other metabolic disorders.
I used to drink almost a gallon of whole milk a day until I went off to college. I didn’t get my first cavity until I was 42, I’ve had a total of two cavities (I’m now 53). I’ve never broken a bone. I credit milk.
Well, I've never got either a cavity or a broken bone, I'm 57 and I haven't drink a drop of milk since I was 8. It's true that I've always had some sheep and goat mature cheeses and also that since I turned 40 I have about 6 oz yoghurt and 6 oz kefir per day.
you are wrong..nothing to do with milk
I was raised on a dairy farm, so now as senior citizen I decided to try a full dairy diet for 40 days consisting of raw Jersey, A2 milk fresh from the farm, plus some raw Camembert cheese for some solids, and I thrived while also losing 2kg. I still drink around 1.5 litres per day, choosing it rather than water (letting the cows filter out any impurities in municipal water), and I'm in the very best of health, more often than not being assumed to be more than 10 years younger than my true age. Considering one of the healthiest populations in the World, the Maasai tribe of East Africa, exist on a diet solely of milk and cow's blood, I think I'm in good company. Finally, Mark admits his opposition to dairy may largely be due to his dislike of milk since a child, so I don't believe he should be commenting on whether it's healthy or not.
Fact, humans drinking breast milk from a cow is unhealthy and disgusting. Mucus, gross...
well said. I didn't like drinking milk all my life though I did eat some dairy. have been b12 deficient all life. but now choose milk over dairy. I will see how long I live. and I can assure that I am trying best to follow a healthy diet, eating hardly out, least processed garbage outside, home cooked least processed foods, high in fiber, minerals, and huge amount of dairy without b12 ever in life for I swore on my parents I will not take them. so let's see where I land. if I die early I have not proven my point.
but people should not make policies unless they have proven something because if that happens people need to stand up against that too
Dr Hyman,
I have followed you for years,
and very much appriciate your integration of health, genetic diversity, animals and the planets welfare.
I am a swedish anaesthetist,
with genes from Estonia, same as Finland. When I was 55 years I was solo parent to two teenagers, my daughter was aggressiv and addicted to expensive clothes and bags. And I had a small stroke, recovered, but the MRT showed multiple small-artery inflammation all over the brain. That scared me really, and during several years I
experimented with trying to
improve my health, what worked was better sleep, less stress, change of workplace, and diet. No suger, no wheat,
but butter, cream, olive oil, cheese, fish, greens, meat was good for me. The estonian people ate only rye bread, fat dairy, fermented dairy and vegetables, they were lean, many lived till old age, though during the Sovjet Union era they smoked and had too much alkohol. And their pork tastes so good that the pigs must have had a good and healthy life. My father told me how they tended the familys pig. Now I feel so much better, it was a great surprise to me that I didn’t tolerate wheat.
Thank you so much for your blog, with interesting discussions. I haven’t made any new brain MRT, but it feels so much better. Thanks a lot.

Why eat or drink dairy at all? IGF-1 will increase your risk of cancer. In other words, it causes 'specific issues'. Common sense would suggest consuming as little as possible.

MVP comment.
A lot of foods we eat now weren't necessary for our ancestors, fruits/vegetables other carbohydrates. That regularly became consumed only after the Neolithic period. Eggs are meant to develop into chickens, but people use them as food. So what if milk is supposed to be for calfs? Think dairy products aren't that bad. Maybe the estrogen and growth hormones could make u give it up.

Amen to Full Fat Dairy. I don't think it is fair to say saturated fat is not healthy if the bad effect is caused by processing foods, high carb diet, or high sugar foods combining with those good saturated fat from animal or plant source in a diet. It is like linking driving any vehicle is dangerous because accidents happened with a drunk driver. Saturated fat is demonized due to association of someone poor diet....is that justified. Definitely, in my opinion & experience growing up in Asia, there were seldom cases of broken burns in young people than in US when I immigrated to US more than 30 yes ago. Certainly drinking milk does not make your born stronger...unless you are babies or toddlers. I urge the health science communities to do more "good" studies on proper nutrition. I also urge the government to post law to stop the Food Industry from making health claims without good science-based researches. I did low fat diet before to lose weight in college. At that time,, I felt weak & didn't keep the weight off for long in my younger age. In my 50's now, and feel great doing Intermittent Fasting & Keto diet. Cannot believe it that we have been lying to by FDA & USDA on Food Guideline to eat high carb low fat diet.
I felt that Mark was leading this interview and making great points, while the guest was was more or less following along.

Greetings from the Netherlands. Where we drink a lot of milk, eat a lot of cheese.
Tallest people in the world, among the country with the oldest people in the world and Nr. 1 happiest kids in the world.
Maybe the reason we are intelligent beings is that we started to use dairy... who will say?
Precies
life expectancy is not a synonym of life quality. Tall is a genetic trait, unrelated with food and what about happiness? There are many ways to measure it and I don't see how eating cheese and dairy in general might affect that, besides creating people addicted to saturated fat who will eventually have diabetes or heart conditions.
@@giovanbattistafichera8439 you're right about genetics, but the strongest survive and the tallest men get more interest from women. You can not draw the conclusion that food has nothing to do with it.

@@asphalthedgehog6580 the strongest survive? Do you live in the jungle? Taller men get more attention simply because that's what the current beauty standards are, not because taller=better.

@@giovanbattistafichera8439 no diabetes is not caused by fat. Maybe read something about it that's not 50 years old...

Thank you for the informative video, but the science is not with you on dairy. There is also too much of a focus on milk. There have been major observational studies that have found benefits to eating dairy, particularly cheese and yogurt. One that I recall is the Golestan Dairy Food Intake Study. This was a 10 or 11 year study ending in 2017 that had more than 42,000 subjects in a province of Iran. The study was funded mainly by the NIH and National Cancer Institute and involved a number of well-respected research institutions, including Harvard (Dr. Willetts), Cambridge, Mt. Sinai Hospital and others. This study found significant benefits to eating dairy with respect to lower all-cause mortality, reduction in cardiovascular disease and reduction in death from CVD. Favorable statistics were given for cheese and yogurt. An eye opening finding was that the highest quintile of dairy eaters saw the greatest benefits. There was no or little increase in cancer, maybe not statistically significant.
The two Harvard observational studies, The Nurses Study and the Professionals Study, with about 300,000 subjects found a similar result. These are the gold standard of observational studies. Other large dairy studies confirm this result.
BTW, the Journal of the American College of Cardiology published a study in June 2020 which looked at all the randomly controlled clinical trials, observational studies and metaanalyses of these for saturated fat and found that saturated fat doesn't cause heart disease and there should not be any limitation on it in the diet. To the extent that it raises cholesterol, the study noted that it's not the small, high density particles that become lodged in the artery wall.
It sounded like Dr. Ludwig was endorsing the high fat, low carb diet, because of how much saturated fat is oxidized in this diet. It doesn't circulate in the blood. The dangerous fat, as he said, was the saturated fat created by eating too many carbs which is deposited in the body. He also identified sugar as the main causative factor in heart disease. This is what low carb advocates have been saying for a long time.
Carbs, particularly simple carbs such as sugar are responsible for low grade systemic inflammation throughout the entire body. The CRP blood test identifies how much inflammation you have. Systemic inflammation is an overall general health hazard to be avoided.
highest quantile of dairy eaters found most benefits
The majority of people are not aware of the political exploitation and influence over the marketing of food products...... thanks for sharing....👍
Gary Taubes cited him many many times in his masterpiece book Good Calories, Bad Calories.
A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2014 examined the relationship between dairy intake and stroke risk among Swedish men and women. The study followed over 74,000 participants for an average of 10 years and found that higher consumption of dairy products, particularly milk and fermented dairy, was associated with a reduced risk of stroke. The study suggested that the beneficial effects of dairy consumption on stroke risk may be due to the presence of certain nutrients, such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium, as well as the presence of probiotics in fermented dairy products (Larsson et al., 2014).
As soon as I drink milk my body feel s so good..
When I was a year old, I stopped drinking milk. According to my mother I didn't like milk, she told my pediatrician and he told her that once a baby cow is weaned they no longer need milk. Therefore, whole food has all of the nutrients we require.
I wish people would stop demonizing dairy just because its not good for most people. Just because you can't have it, don't pretend its bad for everyone so you can feel better about missing out.
- regards, a milk drinking pale red headed northerner.
I learned about this 20 years ago in my bio health class in college. I was shocked no one was talking about it.
I wish that you would of covered A1 and A2 milk and the major difference which you have not covered.
The devil's in the milk! Also kale has high content of oxalates which should not be consumed in high dosages. Wow lots of information left out!
Kale has one of the most high oxalates and when consuming you need calcium at the same time. The chemical the body produces to break down the oxalates stops if gut is damaged .e.g leaky gut.
Plus all the chemical the cows are fed.
Ghee?
I agree. Raw A2 Dairy are one of the healthiest foods ever, specially when transformed into Kefir.
@@mdadilahnaf1961 there was a trial done for A1 and A2 milk and I believe the A2 batch got tempered with to make it turn out not effective. All farmers should be changing over the herd to produce A2. There is even a book may not be in circulation now...called the milk healing diet.
I love dairy. I love yogurt, ice milk, ice cream, all types of cheese. I became lactose intolerant after being on a medication that almost destroyed my digestive system. I started using lactose free milk and eventually my intolerance went away. I have, however reduced my cheese intake.
If you love milk you MUST get raw milk, raw butter, raw cheeses ...it's the processing that is damaging but the gatekeepers who want to keep you enslaved to the medical establishment divert your attention to dealing with symptoms
I know this is a late comment, but in regards to the milk coming from grass fed cows depending on how good their diet is, is real. That is how we obtain different cheeses from different areas which taste different. This is especially obvious when you take the same cheese manufacturing process. That is why Gruyère from Switzerland is so different from France, or Munster produced in Alsace is different from Citeaux in Burgundy etc.
It’s also the same in wine. Terroir is real.
Did Dr H just say something like "too much meat ... acid load" in the context if osteoporosis. Bollocks. If he's that out of touch with modern research and still spouting elderly debunked myths, I'm out
Bone is made of calcium but calcium is not what makes bone hard. Chalk is calcium carbonate. No one wants bone as soft and brittle as chalk. MAGNESIUM helps make bone hard. I say helps because there are synergistic elements in bone. When magnesium is insufficient, bone will absorb fluoride which causes abnormal bone growth such as bone spurs. It's also important to consider that calcium ions have a negative charge while magnesium ions are positive. In soft tissue, calcium is excitatory and magnesium relaxes. Ideally, calcium and magnesium should be in a 1:1 ratio in the body. Balance is the key here, unless you're dealing with, most likely, a magnesium deficiency or hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia underlies a number of disease processes. Restore balance in the body first...

I was rather surprised by these quotes from the work of Walter Willett, who has a heavy bias toward vegetarian and vegan eating. There is not going to be anything good to say about dairy from such a person...
Nutritional confusion is the king of marketing. Fasting is a lot safer than eating. Some people can do vegan or vegetarian in a healthy way, but most can't, thanks for comments. All people, Doctors included are biased.
and for the 35 percent of the population that is not lactose intolerant, dairy products are an excellent source of protein, minerals, vitamins and always healthy saturated fat
I found a way to make my milk from 10% cream and it tastes good. I mix it 2/1 with filtered water. I have a carb issue. This also reduces any remaining hormones and costs a little less that regular milk. I am not concerned by any nutrient loss as I have been taking a quality Multi 2X/day for a few decades as well as other essential supplements
for over 34 years I have taught people self-care of several chronic diseases...Diabetes, Heart disease, COPD, asthma, and obesity. as follows, "Cow's milk was designed to fatten baby calves. You are not a baby calf & so your need for cow's milk is a habit you need to change. Why? Because it has enough milk sugar to stimulate the insulin response in people who do not have diabetes. That insulin response means you will get more added weight from drinking milk. If you need to gain weight, great. If not? Not so great."....by the way, all my friends from childhood that drank lots of milk have type 2 diabetes. Me? No! Although my parents insisted we drink 2 glasses of milk per day (breakfast & dinner), once I left home I stopped & only use it in my coffee.
Ok, cows eat grass and absorb calcium no problem, huh? They also have four compartments to their stomachs. Plus, how much grass does a cow eat every single day? So, do we need twenty five pounds of grass a day or what is the number? Wouldn't just a little milk be easier to get calcium than eating grass? But, the other doctor did say a serving of some kind of fish and/or kale. I forget the fish he said, so there's that.
Milk is great. But it comes with a lot of side notes. You must be able to digest it, (most people are varius degree of intolerant), many hormones and antibiotics from the cows diet, the A1 casein is not well tolarated...
@@alexforce9 Yeah, those people could eat the fish or kale. I was a bodybuilder for twenty years. I drank two gallons of skim milk mixed with Perfect 1100 everyday for twelve of those years. I would carry one gallon with me till I drank it all, then start on the second. I would leave it out of the refrigerator the whole time and keep it by my bed at night to drink when I woke up in the middle of the night starving. Everybody told me milk upset their stomach. It never once bothered me. Guess I got lucky.
@@alexforce9 Yes, now that you mention it, I only drink raw milk now. But, I'm fifty so I drink very little milk because it will make you fat as a hog if you're not in the gym four or five hours a day.
Various plants such as spinach have calcium but what is not mentioned is that the plant calcium is bound up in plant molecules and minimally bioavailable to us. We absorb only about 5% if that.
I drink Raw milk, from a certified biodynamic organic farm, 100% Grass-fed, No Grain, pasture raised in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and I am very fortunate that it's very tightly controlled, tested AND cerified organic by OCIA. I buy it through Mom's organic supermarket it comes right from Kimberton Hills Dairy, Kimberton Pennsylvania and it's not pasteurized , inon homogenized. It's whole fat. It's A2 milk which comes from an older breed of cows that we evolved with and digest differently. It offers many minerals and enzymes and is completely different from the typical highly politicized, federally subsidized inferior pasteurized homogenized regular milk sans the healthy whole fat and all the live enzymes and minerals. The skim milk and 1% 2% are the worst.
Though the Maasai do not often eat beef; they eat milk and blood which is harvested by puncturing the loose flesh on the cow's neck with an arrow
When i grew up on the farm many decades ago we milked a herd of 52 Jersey cows. All we ever drank was raw milk straight from the cow’s utter. It has a very wholesome and completely different taste than pasteurized milk the dairy industry pushes these days. Pasteurized milk is essentially dead milk because the pasteurization process kills most everything that could be beneficial to us. The dairy industry pushes a fake narrative to have you believe its nutritious; however its the exact opposite. Follow the money and the marketing hype becomes clear.There are many wholesome foods that give you far greater benefits than milk ever could.
I love all these comments saying "I've been drinking milk for X years and my bones/health/whatever is fine". WHO CARES? Science is not about anecdotes. You need big numbers to come to significant conclusions or else we'll end up listening to whatever. There are people who can eat cheeseburgers every day and not develop heart conditions. Does that mean cheeseburgers should be included in the dietary recommendations for the larger population? Listen to science, and if it doesn't apply to you, ask yourself this: "is it possible that I'm healthy DESPITE this habit, rather than BECAUSE of it?".
I personally don't give a fuck if Jimmy has lost 30kg on a keto diet and is now an accomplished ultrarunner or Mike is on paleo and is blood sugar is great, or Karen has obtained great result with a frugivore diet and I don't give a fuck if there is ONE study done in University X that proves this. I want to know what THE VAST MAJORITY of research actually suggest.
Exactly,but the funding by the food industries make the science into a marketing tool and end up causing nutritional confusion.
@@omadoutlaw4868 Also, it matters who's funding the research study and/or what's their philosophy before they set out to support their thesis.
Anecdotes are often the initiating factor for a "science study" because it's often observations from such anecdotal observations which prompts science to study such possible connections between A + B. Unfortunately science is often slow to catch up with anecdotal experiences, sometimes "science" is thousands of years behind what the ancients discovered thru sheer observation of trial and error, observation, and cause and effect. Modern science has often merely explained the why of ancient practises.
@@johnc.8298 We know for a fact that there's no reason to have dairy. That's not thanks to ancient practices or folk knowledge.
@@giovanbattistafichera8439 What's your point? We also "know for a fact there's no reason to have" any particular food. Grains are certainly not an "essential" foodstuff, there's no "reason" to eat it except you happen to like it. Various cultures around the world eat foods that others do not eat and vice versa. Beef is not an item in Japanese eating however seafood is. Europeans liked dairy and still do, others do not. Some Europeans were big on pasta, others on pastries, others Olive oil.
But regardless, what a person likes to eat is reason enough. Modern supermarkets have much more varied selections of foodstuffs than our grandparent's grocery store had. There are lots of varied choices. If you don't like dairy, choose something else. The same thing goes for those who don't like grains, eggplant, or whatever. Today's supermarkets are a huge smorgasbord of choices. There's no reason for one over another except for personal preferences.
As a young kid I drank a gallon of milk a day up until the age of 13 or 14. I still love milk and buy only organic whole milk. I have been on a milk fast for about 30 days. And I feel great, I’m actually thinking of giving it up all together. I am 6’ 2” 190lbs of medium build and was always skinny as a kid. I Never had a weight problem. My mother was a housewife and cooked very healthy fresh food. Never went without fresh cooked and never trash food snacks. No chips or junk food. Home made cakes! Were the only sweets in the house. As a kid I had to ride my bike to the closest store to get candy. I am now 60 and may have to give up my beloved milk.
Milk makes me bloated
Try not drinking so much! LOL
The milk sugar (lactose) that spikes blood glucose is the main problem ,ghee is from milk and it is the healthy part
The guest was great, the host was goofy, flippant and talks about himself way too much.
This is usually the case, I only watch these for the guests, lol
Adding vitamin D3 to the diet can increase bone density if supplemented with vitamin k2. When I was growing up, the only way I had milk was either in cereal, or with chocolate. That, in time gave me a weight problem that I've been fighting my whole life. Eating cereal left me always hungry, because it was always laden with a lot of sugar.
Interesting and informative! Thank you Both! I was waiting for Raw Milk information, thank you!
I believe that Dr. Hyman has completely missed the essential question. He builds this exaggerated case that dairy is bad. He states, "Not to mention, upwards of 65% of the world's population are lactose intolerant after infancy." He fails to ask why, why is this happening.
Obviously we as humans have been drinking milking and consuming dairy for eons. And this consumption of dairy has not historically been an issue. Yet, now it is an issue. The answer is simple, and yet, the solution for each individual can be complicated.
The cause of dairy based reactions is going to be unique to each individual. Dr. Hyman is tossing everyone in to the the all to common western medicine perspective of "one size fits all - everybody gets treated the same". The simple answer is - digestion. A person will sooner or later have a reaction to whatever food they ingest if they cannot digest it. It is just that simple.
Now the potentially complicated part of the answer is why does a particular person not digest dairy. To find a particular person's cause for reaction a health partitioner must be a very good detective. The solution is likely too complicated for an individual to try to solve by trial and error. A good practitioner can be helpful and greatly short-cut the solution process.
There are some likely issues to investigate. Eating the standard American diet over time will compromise almost everyone's digestion. Eating processed food containing preservatives, sugar and well, processed food :-) will lessen the body's capacity to digest. Eating a diet whole food, proteins, grains and veggies in their natural form can go a long way to resolving digestive issues. And that alone may not be enough. Emotional issues and stress directly and immediately impact digestion.
Other causes of poor digestion are gut pathogens such as mold, fungus, bacteria, virus and parasites, these are quite common and very often missed with standard medical diagnostic testing. Once the body loses the capacity to completely digest a food, the immune system begins to "see" this partially digested food as a toxin and/or a foreign invader. Then the immune system begins to respond as the immune system is supposed to. It releases inflammatory compounds to countermand to attempt to kill the gut pathogen. If the immune system released inflammatory compounds resolve the issue, that's great. Often this is the underlying process when people experience short-term digestive issues. There was an issue and the body was able to resolve it, and the symptoms resolved.
If the immune system is unable to resolve the issue, over time these inflammatory compounds released by the immune system will degrade the integrity of the lining of the intestine which further compromises digestion. This is the mechanism that people observe as they become reactive to more and more foods. Without resolving the true underlying cause this inflammatory condition will spread throughout the body.
We all have have genetic weak links. Whatever the particular person's "weak link" is will determine what additional disease processes develop. If the chink in the armor is the pancreas, a person may develop diabetes. If it's skin, the person will have rashes, hives and eczema. The ongoing inflammatory process can degrade the integrity of the blood brain barrier and this inflammation will affect the production of neurotransmitters which result in mood and emotional issues. If the liver is the issue one may elevated cholesterol.
So .... back to where we started - dairy. Dairy in America is very much a processed food. Remember 20 years ago when buying milk we always checked the expiration date, which was normally no more that one week away? Milk today is irradiated. The irradiation process kills ALL the bacteria in milk. Corporate agriculture does this so milk can sit on the shelf without spoiling. The bacteria that irradiation kills is actually essential for most to fully digest milk. Strike 1.
One might try to source raw milk, although raw milk can also contain pathogens, so it is essential that raw milk is from a reliable farmer. That said, it is fairly common for people that cannot digest milk to be able to digest other forms of dairy such as cheese. The fermentation process that converts milk to dairy actually consumes the casein and other proteins and converts them to other forms of protein. Casein is the most common protein to which people react, the fermentation process eliminates the casein. Dairy is a very nutritious food (when not processed) so try harder cheeses first, like parmesan, aged cheddars and aged goudas. As one moves to softer cheese, reactions may appear. For many people mozzarella , Monterey Jack and provolone are too soft, they have not aged long enough.
At the end of the day is impractical and unhealthy to continue to remove reaction causing foods. Food is nutrition. We need it, and, we have to be able to digest it. Please do not ignore your food actions issues. As I explained above, poor digestion progresses to potentially damaging and life threatening disease. Eat whole foods, avoid junk food, find ways to deal with stress and emotional issues (easier said than done) and find a good comprehensive thinking (holistic) practitioner and resolve your issue. Your payoff is great health, great energy and a clear mind.
One more thing, do what Mark Hyman did not do. Always ask your health practitioner - why. Why are you treating this way, does this treatment actually address the underlying cause - and not just treat the symptoms. Good luck!
Living Ayurveda when you say irradiated are you talking as an actual radioactive isotope in alpha beta gamma particles or are you saying through the pasteurisation process be it milk in the bottle or UHT( ultra heat treated).
@@BC-vg3zf The FDA allows 3 methods for irradiating foods:
Gamma rays are emitted from radioactive forms of the element cobalt (Cobalt 60) or of the element cesium (Cesium 137). Gamma radiation is used routinely to sterilize medical, dental, and household products and is also used for the radiation treatment of cancer.
X-rays are produced by reflecting a high-energy stream of electrons off a target substance (usually one of the heavy metals) into food. X-rays are also widely used in medicine and industry to produce images of internal structures.
Electron beam (or e-beam) is similar to X-rays and is a stream of high-energy electrons propelled from an electron accelerator into food.
Fairlife WholevMilk? Had Osteopenia. Revetsed after drinking 1.5 liter Fairlife Milk daily
Please let's deal with pasteurized and homogenized milk and raw milk as two separate substances.
Fascinating talk on so many levels - one of your best!
I have issues with the amount of lactose in milk, but what about yogurts and cheese? I have difficulty getting enough protein in my diet, but plain greek yogurt helps and I don't have stomach pain from it.
lactose is milk "sugar". Fermentation of milk involves probiotic microbes eating the lactose and reproducing to produce more probiotic microbes. Kefir and yogurt are two products of the fermentation of lactose.
I would love to know Mark Hyman's thoughts on the APOE4 gene and how that might also affect things like dairy consumption and saturated fats.
Sadly, the Walter Willet man referred to that works with the guest, at Harvard has a massive influence on the current food policy that has gotten us sick. He is a professed vegetarian and promotes this lifestyle for all. This talk was great however always consider the source. And interestingly, the diet promoted on the Harvard website encourages the use of PUFAs, grains and to limit red meat. No thank you.
You people should have been there on the plain of Mamre with Abraham when he served up a meal to Elohim and the 2 Angel's that were with him. (see Genesis 18:8) You could have slapped the meat, milk and butter out of their hands. NO! NO! GOD! TOO MUCH DAIRY! RED MEAT BAD!
Unfortunately not every one has an honest approach when judging food stuffs. Too often the decision comes first, often based on emotions, and the self-convincing and justification comes later.
Unpasteurized milk contains lactase. Pasteurization denagures these enzymes.
In the 2-3 million years of hunting and eating large ruminant animals we would have absolutely drank raw milk. If your tribe takes down a female lactating animal why wouldn't you suck or milk out the liquid from the udders or teats. We used to eat EVERYTHING from the kill. Our sensitivities should not drive our hypotheses on what we used to do to thrive. Milk is delicious now and it would have been delicious back then. Too much calcium? Calcium from greens? I cant believe I'm hearing "intelligent" doctors comparing an animal that eats grass using multiple stomachs to digest said greens, with a monogastric animal such as humans and thinking they are same. This is a disgrace. FIRST, DO NO HARM..........
The Maasai, an ethnic group of semi-nomadic people who inhabit in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania, drink cow blood on special occasions - circumcision of a child, the birth of a baby and on the occasion of a girl's marriage. It also is given to drunken elders to alleviate intoxication and hangover.Oct 25, 2015
