- Brooke Miles speaks at a 2015 TEDx event in Wilmington, Delaware.
Brooke Miles, a former-dairy-fanatic-turned-vegan, is a humorous writer and a sought-after, award-winning speaker. By day, she runs her own social media consultation firm, Delaware ShoutOut. By night, she dishes up vegan “experimental” masterpieces for her meat-and-potatoes family. Some family members even eat her food. While Brooke doesn’t expect to convert the world to veganism, she aims to educate people on nutritional choices through a light-hearted approach.

LOL whoever is laughing in the background is having a good freaking time.
Prob her mom
Sounded more like cackling to me.
doubt it's milk that's lubricating her laughter..
She is 😂 I love that
@@meunderhypnosis407 Prob ur mom.
Got 'em.
Dairy is a huge industry that governments will try to protect. Lactose intolerance is a very common problem, yet very few doctors will suggest people eliminate dairy from their diet. If you have any gut issues, try giving up dairy for two weeks and see what happens.
Jazztomorrow yes I had terrible pain in my stomach until I gave it up
There are two different kinds of milk. A1 protein is found in the milk of the Holstein breed which is most popular due to the high volume of milk and the marketability of their calves. Other breeds like the Jersey produce the A2 protein which most people, even the lactose intolerant can digest without issue.
Yeah because they’re not nutritionists. Their jobs are to clinically treat you through medications or procedures.
People aren't lactose intolerant. They're just not baby cows.
Jazztomorrow
This happened to me. Giving up milk and eating a plant-based (vegan) diet made me feel so much better:)
I've had an upset stomach for over ten years. I switched to a vegan diet and my upset stomach stopped.
Illuminati Rabbits same with my acne! Just from cutting dairy
Same here, had chronic gas my entire life until 3 years ago when I went vegan ❤️
I drink lactose free dairy milk.
@@mryonan5865 - Go extreme, and drink only soy "milk." And make ice cream with it.
Mine DIDN'T, but I only tried it for 18 years.
Cant wait till I'm not a teen anymore and I can actually control what I eat
267 -Cala• I’m 14 but my parents have accepted that me being vegan is actually good, and I’m so happy that they let me control what I eat!
Educate your parents
You can make Oat milk yourself really easily, put oat into water for a few hours (or shorter if in a hurry) and then put it in a blender - voila, ready for cereal! If you want to use it for drinks, then filter it and put the pomace into the next cereal/Porridge. Take what you have, you don't have to accept what they put in front of you :)
@@xerus7425 I don't even soak oats when making oat milk. Just blend them in with water. Although, yes, for almond milk/but milks, you have to soak them overnight for best results
@@kavinpopli9382 Almond milk has calcium carbonate which cause heart disease.
Should have also mentioned caseomorphines (forgive spelling), the addictive compounds that make the calf come back to the mother for more milk 🥛 😬
Sadly, calves are no longer coming back for more milk. They're all dead and gone, only humans 2-90 are in the queue.
Or else they would have been dead. Cheese is tasty, that's why it's addictive, as is fruit.
Yep, that's why so many people are addicted to dairy cheeses.
Actually hunger is what brings the calf back to its mother.
That's why cheese is so hard to resist on a wfpb diet, those cheese morphines LOL!
After learning how big ag procures milk and its institutionalized cruelty it made it an easy choice to stop consuming milk products.
Ditch dairy, you're not a baby cow bro!
There’s amazing vegan chocolate Haagen Dazs ice cream, and Ben & Jerry’s and a bunch of other flavors that taste better than teal ice cream. So, no tears necessary. There’s nothing that doesn’t come in an amazing vegan option these days. 🍨
True that, my local ice cream store makes awesome ice cream just from fruits and water and I swear is better then the one made from milk
They just need to make it more affordable. I usually go with the vegan option but most of the time I just go without completely because I can't afford it.
Ice cream made with coconut milk is really good.
@@glennbishopbishthemagish ya animal abuser.
To bad most of those ice creams still use high fructose corn syrup as the main ingredient other wise I'd eat them
Get oat milk, it's the best plant based milk for coffee and cereal.
oat milk? That is not milk.
@@VitaKet If you define milk by how something can be used, then yes, it is milk.
VitaKet
That’s great then. Why would someone drink the milk of another animal?
Yes my fave
Imo Soy milk is the best milk substitute
Literally tho she needed at least ten more mins to talk about how cruel the industry is to the mother and calf. Barely scratched the surface.
the whole talk is about health. not cruelty. it def is something that should be talked about, but its not what she is trying to tell the adience
@marian roberto You're not a baby cow lmao
She would have lost her audience. Use your head.
6/9/19.....Something to think about but I'm NOT lactose intolerant + I'm NOT GIVING UP BEEF PRODUCTS.
THIS IS PART OF NWO/UN/ELITIST PROGRAM.
Eileene Clark then tell me why you can find tons of frozen beef in every food bank for the poor. Hospitals, Nursing homes, everywhere you find beef, even Burger King and McDonald's... Don't be silly.
Great points made here but I cringed when she said to pour it down the drain.. as a vegan one of my biggest issues isn’t just when people consume meat and dairy, it is when it goes to waste.. all of the environmental and animal harm is done for nothing. Finish your milk, and don’t buy it again! :)
People are addicted to animal products, so by throwing them out it means they won't be tempted to consume them which only feeds their addiction.
No. That is the sunk cost fallacy. Don’t consume it because it does us harm. It’s better to throw it away. It was already wasted when it was milked from the tortured cows and bought from the store. Don’t drink it just because “it will go to waste.” It is poison and you don’t want it in your system! Why harm yourself?
Once I gave up eggs and dairy my pot belly just melted away in about 2 months. I was amazed.
John Smith So you’ll never know if it was the eggs or if it was the dairy
Eggs, too? That's interesting!
On a challenge, I went dairy free for a 1 month. After 3 days, my knees quit hurting. They'd hurt for years. I thought I needed knee surgery or had arthritis. My stomach never hurt from consuming dairy, but now when I occasionally eat or drink something dairy in it, but my knees still say it's not good for me.
Sounds to me you are lactose intolerant.
Brilliant and well explained.
we aren't baby calves!
am designs. "we aren't baby calves!" What kind of argument is that? We are not potatoes plants either but we ear their babies.
@Shashank Kumar Not quite sure of the relevance of that remark Shashank.
@@mchooksisIm angry with you. I was going to use baby brocolii and say what kind of an argument is that. You got in ahead of me on that one! Vegans are so delusional on the health point it's criminal.
farmers feed cow's milk to poultry and pigs for oral vaccination and they're not baby calves, also baby kids are feed with cow's milk too. That's why no one takes vegans seriously, they repeat the same thing without thinking. Also that lady clearly has bloated belly with gas, I don't know why is she preaching about health.
@@asg7448 a study done in oxford (the most comprehensive ever) show vegan is more sustainable. also, just because we can exploit animals, doesnt mean we should. I agree there are places in the world where it might be necessary, but in the modern west? there is no justification, other than taste pleasure, and we know pleasure does not justify an act which involves a victim.
btw i only been vegan a year, i dont come from a place of judgement, i used to think vegans nonces, but then upon listening to the vegan argument the whole way through, i realised it is 100% based on LOGIC and FACTS. if you have a shred of compassion i encourage u to think about it. all the best to u man :)
Which brings up my next point ladies, and gentlemen; DON'T SMOKE CRACK!
That was a very productive short introductory about the dairy from the health perspective. She could definitely go on speaking more facts and convincing but there was a time limit I believe. So she hit the key points.
Since I went vegan, no more migraines! Since I went vegan, practically no more hey fever.... Since I went vegan my inflamed shoulder (for 2 years!!!) i fine again. I could go on with my benefits. But find out your self! 😉 I don't need more proof! Good speech. 👍🏼 And I love her sense of humour. 😊
Grass allergy here. It still happens for me, but I am way healthier now in many other ways on whole food-plant based diet for almost 6 months now.
There are millions of people that have a healthy life without going vegan. Unsurprisingly people living in countries of over consumption seem to have the symptoms that you stigmatize as being a sign of people eating meat which is simply untrue. Consuming meat once or twice a week is entirely different than eating meat every waking moment of your life.
LSmallCatL
I'm soon 63, went vegan July 2013. Never ate much meat, dairy or eggs - maybe 2-3 times a week but alot of fish. Had lots of stomack ace (diharrea), skin problems and joint pain. Developed type 2 diabetes about 15 years ago.
After I went vegan, I never have diharrea, my skin problems are gone, my joints feel just fine and my diabetes is gone!
I'm sure happy for you and everyone else that gets a benefit out of it.
I sure hope modern medicine wouldn't just be reduced to taking pills but would be given the time to advise on a more healthy diet that individually fits each patient.
I sure would wish that "healthy" would be more of an interest to the various countries we live in. Prevention check-ups and an advised healthy diet sure would prevent millions of people of developing chronic diseases and huge medical bills.
I was extremely in well before going vegan I had very painful stomach aches and no energy . These days I’m bursting oh and no more head aches isn’t it amazing!!
I suffered from very severe acid reflux attacks that were torture...when I knocked dairy on the head it literally was cured overnight! I would also argue my skin cleared up to a new level, but that is my opinion, the acid reflux was cast iron fact!
Lorraines Allotment Have you tried different bagel brands? Maybe it’s the bacteria type or the grain type that’s causing the issues.
Lorraines Allotment Oh, that’s good. Everyone deserves to enjoy a good bagel if they want to :)
Same here!
Its highly possible that your skin cleared up due to your decrease in milk since milk consumption is linked to akne as well!
I'd taken anti reflux meds for FIFTY YEARS until I quit all grains. Fixed.
I loved the speaker! Such a great energy, BUT I think there's a lot more uncomfortable facts she should've brought up, because it takes a lot more than that to stir an already desensitized normative lifestyle. Like, as my env. sci prof boldly put it, what we do to cows, is like injecting a baby girl with hormones so she can be forcefully impregnated at 11 over and over to produce milk to meet a huge demand, while the product of the pregnancy is given to the meat industry or aborted, over and over again. Such a vile thought, yet the reality of it. And the hormones cause the udders to swell up, go sore, get infected, produce pus which constitutes 3% of all milk / dairy. 70% of all antibiotics are used to fight the infections caused by meat / dairy. This is a topic that cannot be put subtly, there's no polite way to state it. And I'm glad I had that env. sci prof, she made me so uncomfortable, I looked up the facts myself and went vegan while doing that course. We cannot, and mustn't be made abstract from the sanitary packaged consumables at our tables.
this is all very true, but the target of the speech was health - not cruelty
Stopped milk 6 years ago big difference Big
Fantastic! Hope you're still doing well
Yes, vegan above ground greens mostly but the milk was a big difference, stopped diet coke and all sweetners and no bread and lots off exercise on mountainbike. I am type1 diabetic so big improvements.
@@evo5349 brilliant, I'm vegan too & I'm trying to eat more veg & less sugar & simple carbs & gluten &.....
6/9/19.....Yes BUT you also stopped eating/drinking other highly pricessed items.
Did you consider thecfact that EVERY item you cut out of your diet MIGHT have also been a big
CHANGE FOR THE BETTER in your overall health?
Yes you are correct stopped bread at the same time so butter as well. Now am vegan now and only eat above ground veg peppers chilli and carbs have noodles or rice. Stopped sweetners and replaced with honey. I train a lot mountain bike and my recovery and body repairs very fast, like cuts broken ribs and its all down to good food. No oils no fried food no processed food just lots off natural spices chick peas are my most common food, strange really.@@eileeneclark9011
critique: she shouldn't have said "humanity depended on dairy for thousands of years." the majority of humanity, including native australians, africans, native americans, and people from asia, did not. just the middle east and europe.
You are 100% correct. Also the use of milk in human history is fairly recent. People from cultures that never used milk come over here and start consuming milk and other junk food within two years are suffering from health problems we take for granted. They were never sick untill moving hete
Anno Bonano: This is only because these cultures could not obtain or afford milk (or many other foods/drinks/beverages etc). And due to this they don't usually do well into their later years (I have seen them crippled with osteoporosis etc) from lack of calcium and other nutrients.
BigCityJungleCat EnvisageThat
It’s not because “they couldn’t afford milk”. They simply didn’t domesticated cows- because cows didn’t exists in the New World or Australia. Please do a little research instead of spreading falsehoods.
@@zain4019 I think you have me confused with someone else with this remark (Anno Bonano). Check again. And you are preaching to ME about doing research - when you cannot even make sure who made the comment you are answering? How silly is that?!!!
BigCityJungleCat EnvisageThat the countries with the largest dairy intake have the highest rates of osteoporosis
Someone in the audience is easily amused.
don't forget that dairy literally has addictive hormones in it - that's why it's so difficult to give up. i've been vegan for almost two years, and the beginning of the video made me crave dairy products. how long till the cravings stop? this sux
Yes, and added sugar too which also causes addiction.
Idk it's the only things that separates me from veganism. I don't like milk but I drink a cup everyday
@@EndsToAMean Get an alternative. I recommend oat milk or soy milk. And stop buying the milk. 6 months on and now the smell of milk literally just makes me feel sick.
@@susie_pinon Very bad advice. Do NOT follow this woo-woo advice. See a dietician or GP.
I stopped drinking that swill more than 20 years ago. My constant sinus & ear infections stopped and never came back.
I'm doubting that happened.
I’m a vegan and also a data analyst. The first thing you learn when getting into data analysis is that “Correlation is not causation”. We therefore have to be careful when suggesting a link between dairy consumption and osteoporosis. It could be something else we don’t know about causing higher rates of osteoporosis.
Not really. We know that pasteurised milk is highly acidifying to the human body and calcium taken from bone matrix and connective tissue is the first mineral used to buffer the acidity. There have been plenty of studies on this. Other culprits are all animal products and, to a lesser degree, grain's and pulses and cooking food in General.
Se did mention that in her talk...
It’s all about if it’s pasteurized or not. Raw milk is healthy, pasteurized not!
Thank you Brooke, I too have gained and had to lose much weight due to milk. Worst event for me was the development of Lactose-Free Milk when I was 35. I went from 185 to 220 very fast. Love milk and that is by design as well. Your talk is very important.
I always laughed like the lady during lectures. My professors were happy, atleast i was listening!
Butter, cream, milk, yoghurt, cheese of a million kinds, ice cream. Nothing better or more healthy.
Butter is good. The rest of those dairy products are making this a very sick nation. The only good thing about dairy other than butter is it keeps doctors and other medical staff employed
If you heat it and mix it with coco & add marshmallows, it's delishus. It's not that we need it...we want it.
So she lost 15 lbs three months and claims it is the milk, yet earlier was talking about how she occasionally ate pints of hagen-daus ice cream?
To me, it seems she has a bigger issue with sugar.
Ice cream is milk.
@@khappy1286 Thank you!
@@khappy1286 heavily sedated milk with additional preservatives and artificial flavors.
Lactose in milk is sugar
@@a-youngrocky8541 way healthier than additives and processed sugar in chocolate milk and ice cream
That one lady in the back really seemed to enjoy her talk, lol. But yeah, I k we all this already :)
Why do so many people say that 'humans are the only species that drinks another animals milk' ? We are the only species that has the knowledge to milk another animal. If I put out milk for my cat it drinks it... and loves it! If I gave milk, butter or cream to a bear, lion , dog etc, they would eat it. Years ago when we had milk men delivering milk to our doors the birds used to land on the bottles and peck a hole in the silver foil on top of the milk bottle and drink the milk... yes birds!!
….. my question is, what animals DONT eat dairy if you offer them it??
Hello Jesus is Lord
Don't you just miss the milkmen? We also could get cottage cheese and butter along w the milk. There it wss every morning out on the porch. And let's not forget those HELMS BAKERY TRUCKS! Geeze, we're old.
😇✌💜🙋
I fiercely take my hat off to this wonderful lady speaking out about the truth!
She did well except for her comment on soy.
Her talk was too short!
The cave man, was also not farming wheat rice and avocados... He/she was eating meat as well...
There are Egyptian Wall Paintings of dairy cows in stanchions.
I think you should just eat what you like and works for you exactly right caveman meat
Avoid eating anything with a damn bar code on it. Too much processing for profit.
The cave man was also not on youtube, yet here we are!
He still used to eat lot of veggies
2:22 “Naturally I thought Jennifer and Anna were cuckoo for cocoa puffs!” LOL
I hardly ever comment, fact being that this is only my second time. But I think it necessary. Plants produce seeds for reproduction. One of the most common ways to disperse seeds is via fruit. Fruit attracts animals. Animals eat fruit. Seed exits animal etc. Milk is specifically produced by a mother for ITS offspring. Please stop trolling below. It's sad to see so many negative and harsh comments with a TEDXTalk.
So why does the cow keep producing milk after the calf no longer needs it?
roseslasher Only cows who have been subject to extended milking by either a farmer or a machine produce milk for extended periods of time. That’s how the body works. That’s why some mothers can breastfeed their 2 year old children. Milk production only stops when nursing stops, unless the body literally can’t produce anymore because it’s been drained of nutrients. Ever wonder why dairy cows look so bony? Being constantly milked means the body puts all nutrients gained from consumption towards the production of milk for the supposed “baby.” This is why many dairy cows become “spent” at around 4 years of age, when their natural lifespan is an average of 20 years.
@@roseslasher They don't. They need to give birth regularly to keep their milk production up, even with continuous milking. So an average dairy cow will have 4 calves before her milk production still can't keep up with industry standards, at which point she will be slaughtered for low-grade meat at the young age of 5 or 6. Of those 4 calves, on average 2 will be male, and being of a dairy breed, they can't pack on the muscle like the meat breeds do. That means it doesn't make monetary sense to waste milk feeding them past the age of weaning to sell them for beef, so they will be slaughtered pretty much immediately. That leaves 2 female calves. Only one is needed to be the eventual heir to her mother as a milk production unit. The other is, again, not worth wasting expensive milk feeding up past weaning age, so she is slaughtered pretty much immediately. If allowed to live out their natural span, cattle can live to be 20 or 25 years old. Slaughtered dairy cows generally become hamburger or pet food.
People who do not beleave her simply have never tried a milk free diet. Just try it for a couple months. You will no longer have anything to argue about you will be amazed
Bomb La Tour haha wild cows. So, natural
Why do people in some countries have a higher rate of osteoporosis? There are both genetic and nutritional components. Certain ethnicities have a higher genetic predisposition to osteoporosis. There’s a strong genetic component. I feel this is over simplified.
Informative and inspiring presentation. Very good explanation of facts, such as "cowcium" or osteoporosis. More people should listen to these facts.
She forgot to mention that you can eat ice cream also, being vegan. I just finished a pint of coco nut milk ice cream. So delish!
Haha, yeah, if you like chalk!
thats not ice cream its processed food made with 20+ ingredients to imitate what you really crave. vegans are so mentally ill for trying to convince themselves their fake food is anything remotely real or natural.
Airolg
Yes, apples, bananas, oranges, avocados, beans, lentils, spinach, kale, almonds, cashews, chickpeas- they’re all “fake”.
@@zain4019 yes, exactly. FAKE. genetically bred by humans throughout hundreds of years. modern bananas giving even animals diabetes. spinach, almonds, potatoes being extremely high in oxalates (antinutrients) to the point where it does more harm than help eating them. go look up how cashews are made here on youtube for a surprise.
@@littlemissherpderp 😂 you are a moron.
..droning on about how milk is the worst source of calcium. That's certainly true, I agree. But where are you going to find a source to replace 50 bacteria protecting your gut and brain?? Raw milk also breaks down protein and prevents allergies. If this talk were slagging off merely pasteurized milk, I would be more in agreement, but she didn't make that clear..
So you're Good with drinking unpasteurised dog or cat milk ? or even ape milk .? ... After all apes are said to be our closest relatives
@@roligue Your the only one thinking about drinking dog or cat milk, and we didnt evolve from apes, we were created as humans.
I’ve been vegan for ten years & and have had no need to drink plant based milk.
Just started vegan life. Howdo u enjpy ice cream, cookies, cake if u had a craving
@@athomewithrobin292 yo how's your life going? There are many ways to make vegan and creamy ice cream using coconut cream and plant milk. We make vegan cakes and cookies so much! Dairy free whipping cream is available in the markets and you can use them to top your cakes and lattes etc
It's better to drink plant milk as refreshments
@@lawfulhusbands We have a strong vegetarian (plant based) food culture and don't need mock meats or milk. Thanks.
Love her...wish more people knew this!
Not only this, but 1000mg+ of calcium is way too much. That was original set as the MAXIMUM amount one should consume, which eventually was made into an RDA. We need around 500mg, no more really. It’s should be in a 1:1 ratio balance with magnesium.
In Ghana the average daily intake of calcium is only 80 milligrams. Osteoporosis is so rare that they do not have a word for it in there language. The same goes for many oriental countries that do not have dairy industry
2:1 ratio with magnesium, if you take supplements in PILLS.
I am lactose intolerant. I only consume dairy rarely, once in a while I will try some pizza or a dessert with some dairy. I put up with a lot of problems for a long time, and I wish I had realized that it was dairy.
Sadly the person above claiming my name is not me! However I completely agree its a sensory issue consuming dairy 😢 also its neolithic so many alternatives on the market today great speech!❤
I have recently become a vegan. This started years ago when I discovered I was becoming terribly ill and then found it was my milk consumption. A few years later I decided to give up meat. Now I’m completely vegan and feel so much better.
Amazing speech! I'm really surprised that it doesn't have more views. I'll definitely be sharing this around :)
Pretty Ethical - Please, don’t. It’s horrible advice.
Baby Ben it’s awesome advice!! She is right on
We know nothing about her or her credentials yet it's amazing speech. If you've bothered to read the literature you'll find she doesn't mention anything new.
Then you'll love the RUclips Video from Dr. Neal Barnard "what the dairy industry doesn't want you to know" I sent it to everyone in my address book! 😁
@@notatheist undortunately she's right. Cow milk actually flushes calcium out of bones. Osteoporosis is highest in countries that consume most milk.
What about her speech do you question? What do you not believe? Please feel free to let me know 😊✌🌷💜
From my personal experience i say if you have any health problems no matter what they are try a dairy free diet as dairy intollerance can cause any kind of symptoms. I no i was born dairy intolerant. Most prople that are dairy intolerant can still eat butter but in US choose organic
I love her sense of humor.😂😂
I WILL NEVER LEAVE CHEESE I AM IN LOVE WITH IT I AM GOING TO INGNORE THIS TED TALK AND CRY IN THE CORNER OF MY ROOM
Ditch dairy- keep the (vegan) cheese.
Some fair points, but correlation does not equal causation. Excessive processing, homogenisation and use of antimicrobials and hormones (bovine growth hormone, trenbolone enthate) on cows has likely caused the greater share of problems since the increase of Industrial scale dairy farming.
Yoghurts, Kefirs and cheeses can still form part of a healthy vegetarian diet. Also no mention about goats milk or raw farm milk which is still produced all over the world .. Talks like this are inconclusive, and are producing more and more disinformation, and aren't helping us address some of the systemic problems we are facing as humans.
Wrong. We have absolutely no nutritional need for animal food products.
Thank you for this reply! And can I add "Weston A. Price"!
True! Raw milk is amazing!
Im 100% lactose intolerant and it sucks as im struggling to stop all dairy... Any advice would be appreciated

@@lewiscarson3086 its called circle of life soyboy
Right on sister!
She's not talking about how all these countries she mentioned (except USA) are almost in the arctic circle... The people leaving there produce less vitamin D from solar exposure (which is involved in calcium absorption as you might know). Most people might not do good with milk, but that doesn't mean that everybody should stop drinking milk or eating dairy. It depends on the person, instead it would be wise to recommend to the person to reduce the amount they are drinking of it or cut it out completely if they are having health issues and test if those disappear. We all are different (at the genetic level, not counting identical twins here) so I think the wisest thing to do would be putting your body to test. Try milk and dairy for a while, and try not eating dairy and milk for another while (the order doesn't matter)... If you have the same good or bad health, then it's probably not milk, but something else (it could be sugar, or something else you're eating, or it could be that you're simply sick for the time being)... Do not assume that everything works for everybody. Veganism might work for some, but that doesn't mean that it is good for everybody else. Maybe somebody else does better just by reducing meat intake or cutting it off completely but still eating dairy. I think most often we eat a huge amount rather than eating something that's bad for us. But that's just my opinion, take it as you wish :)
Correlation is not causation.
I researched about this and actually, the correlation became so strong that it’s now considered causation :)
@@gwentamaccio4091 nonsense, the different rates of osteoporosis are due to demographics, if you had done any research that would have been obvious to you.

What made you decide to walk away from your father’s Baskin-Robbins empire?
When my uncle, Burt Baskin, died of a heart attack at the age of 54, I asked my dad if he thought there could be any connection between his death and the amount of ice cream he would eat. (He was a very big man who ate a LOT of ice cream.) My dad said, “No, his ticker just got tired and stopped working.” I could understand why my father would not want even to consider the possibility that there might be a connection between ice cream and heart disease. He had by that time manufactured and sold more ice cream than anyone in the history of the planet. But I felt a responsibility to look into it. And I came to the conclusion that ice cream, which is full of saturated dairy fats and sugar, was indeed linked to heart disease.
An ice cream cone isn’t going to kill anyone, but the more you eat, the more likely you are to have heart disease, diabetes, and many other problems. If you’re in the ice cream business, you want people to eat a lot. That’s the business model. And I didn’t want to make my living selling a product that might be undermining anyone’s health. Also, I visited the large commercial dairies where Baskin-Robbins got its dairy products, and I saw how the cows were treated. It broke my heart to see them treated so poorly. I found the idea of profiting from such cruelty to be appalling.
You wrote your first book, Diet for a New America, in 1987. What has changed since then?
There is a lot more awareness now that animals in factory farms and feedlots are routinely subjected to horrible conditions. And a lot more people are standing in opposition to this systematic cruelty. And there is also a lot more awareness about the connection between industrial meat production, greenhouse gas emissions, and the destabilization of our climate.

She's referring to industrially produced milk. Raw milk is different.
yup and industry milk is declining every year and the demand for raw milk is on the rise!!
I asked my health visitor why my daughter had slow and steady weight gain in comparison to the growth scale. Her answer was because she is breastfed. The chart is one size fits all and formula/cows milk bulks babies up quickly rather than steadily. Like you say cows need rapid weight gain, babies not so much
I've loss 15 lbs while drinking milk. I probably would lose more if didn't drink milk. My point is it's more to it than just weight loss and more to it then just listening to a short video from one person's point of view. Not taken away from anything she said but I am just encouraging you to do your own in-depth study and research of your own body
Mic the Vegan youtube channel reviews and presents accurate studies. Recommend him to you....
So... other dairies (yogurt, cheese, cream, butters) can be eaten even by lactose intolerant peoples.
Also if you aren't lactose intolerant, milk is an excellent way to provide vitamins, proteins and calories.
Of course if you want to be Vegan then it changes things.
She speaks the truth!
My husband was overweight, the only one who was in our family of nine, and consumed lots of cheese. He died of prostate cancer twenty years ago, just two weeks after the third of his nineteen grandchildren was born. 💔
Size of people in China vs size of people in those EU countries. About twice the skeleton to maintain. A theory could be: milk drinking countries grow tallest because they get tons of calcium, but then can't maintain all that once adults because they grow lactose intolerant (which seems to be a natural process)
I went vegan and my anxiety dissapeared!
Heather Carey Vlogs yay!:)))
I am not a vegan and I have never suffered from Anxiety.
Little connection!
Even me...anxiety gone within 2 weeks
Also, cut out the cow and you’ll be ingesting all kinds of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers directly... Great idea!!!...
The pesticides are more concentrated in the meat and milk than if you just consume plants directly. You can also eat organic produce if you are worried about pesticides. "If humans and animals eat the same plants, and humans then eat the flesh of these same animals, or drink their milk, the pesticides become concentrated in the bodies and body fluids of those food-animals."
And don't forget all the amazing, healthy lectins, gluten and other substances in vegetables who damage your gut line :)
As opposed to steroids and antibiotics, plus pus from dairy... yummy🤢
@@@victoriaphillips9296 'pus from dairy' ???
What are the locations? We want to get pictures and we haven't seen them yet. 8-)
People would not leave Dairy that easily because of the good taste Dairy gives. Good taste is what keeps people hooked to unhealthy foods.
Dairy contains casomorphins, which are highly addictive. They bind to the same receptors as opiates. My wife quit milk cold turkey and had about 3 days of withdrawals. It sucked.
LOL. Yeah, the reason she lost 15 lbs after going vegan is that she started consuming far fewer calories. And the reason she started sleeping 2 hours shorter is because when you're starving your body of needed calories/nutrients your catecholamines increase in order to amp up your central nervous system in order to mobilize your body into a more aware and active state so that you (the organism) are better able to acquire the very sustenance that has you (your body's system) in that state to begin with . . . consequently such a person's life becomes all about food/cycles of eating as such a person is never not in this state making life a constant rollercoaster ride of various seemingly baseless amounts of anxiety.
Tom do you think it has anything to do with the fact that all dairy breaks down and releases a form of morphine in the stomach??? that's why you crave cheese. and being dependent on opiates to function I understand that feeling all too well. that's where the cravings of dairy and cheese come in. evolution created these morphine substances so that no matter what the baby would always want more of mothers milk to ensure growth and proper nourishment and bond. you do the math.
This is a really sad video.
@@ambersykora352 morphine in the stomach??? Does the DEA know about this? It sounds serious. We gotta get the word out to all the opiate addicts. Buy more cheeseburgers.
@@darmok-hm6jx look up casomorphines
Don't like milk... still alive.
It's almost as if milk isn't an almighty super-drink, but also doesn't kill you! Woah!
And me
Almond milk and soy milk are loaded with thickeners and added calcium.
Maybe some are, but those foods already have a bunch of calcium in them.
Awesome insight.
This is cringe. Im still drinking milk im fine.
I'm eating a bowl of oats (minus the milk), while watching this. Forget about milk, those milk aftertaste on the tongue is yucky.
Lol.
The aftertaste on my brain after reading this comment is yucky
How about Oatly? That´s what I drink, available even here in Finland and not expensive at all.
We are lucky in Scandinavia that plant-based milk and even meat are available at competitive price. I used to buy Oatly too but now I just make my own almond milk and used the almond pulp for my homemade granola. No waste at all. I'd be happy to share my recipe.
You can keep consuming dairy and limit your eating window, and you will still lose weight and be healthy. That's what I've done and it works well for me.
I live in Rural Canada. My Vegan friends seem to import the majority of their diet from the tropics. I can't understand why they think that it is a good idea to be vegan here.
I was raised on goats milk from our goats. I tried store bought cow milk when I was 6 and thought it tasted really weird. I stopped drinking milk when I was 14 but I still eat cheese and other baked goods. Butter! Oh butter is so good!
I have a family cow now and I am so glad to be able to provide milk, meat, yoghurt, cheese and butter for my family. I am no fan of commercial dairy with all their herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics and growth hormones. That stuff will make you sick for sure. Raw milk from grass-fed cows? That is really good food!
No I still don't drink milk but yes I love the other products and I am so glad to be able to provide such good food for the family at the same time as I keep the grass nicely mown and manured.
I will certainly gain a whole lot of respect for vegans when I see them start to put some actual food on the table and also to show that that food can be produced locally. If I could meet a vegan mother of many healthy children who does not suffer from anemia too then I will really start to think differently about veganism.
Otherwise it just looks to me like people who are trying to save the world without having a solid grounding in this world in the first place. A salt of the earth vegan. That is someone I would like to meet.
Respect to you sir for properly raising and living off of your own livestock rather than consuming factory farmed animal products. It really is a better alternative for animal welfare, human health, public safety (antibiotic resistance crises), and the environment.
You must concede however, that it is not just vegans, but rather the majority of Canadians that buy most of their food (not to mention everything else) non locally.
I for one try to either grow the foods and herbs I can, other wise I buy my (vegan) food Canadian. Theres even a couple events in my city that spotlight local vegan entrepreneurs and businesses.
As for vitamins and minerals, some deficiencies such as iron or b12 are more common in vegans, yet deficiencies such as magnesium, potassium, folate, vit C, vit E etc. are actually more common in the general meat eating population. Thats why multi-vitamins are reccomended by doctors to many people, not just vegans :)
Its interesting how she mentioned 2 less hours sleep required per night, I have been vegan for 3 years now and i have noticed it and it freaked me out, i sleep 6-7 hours per night and im perfectly rested before i needed 9 or more to be well rested :D
Alise your body’s just probably used to it, it doesn’t mean that’s good tho. correlation doesn’t mean causation.
This woman's sense of humor is something else...
How do get your D3? And your B-12?
Not only uplifted the problem, but also gave a solution in the end. One of the best tedx talks.
The solution is to drink raw milk. The problem these days is pasteurized milk. Proper sanitation, healthy cows fed grass, and there is no food more amazing than raw milk
But what about the cows?
Is pasteurized milk popular around the world? Pasteurization started in the 1800's, I think.
No its still drugged up with harmonies and what not, unless you have your own COW. Goat milk is better. I was drinking Raw grass fed and i do not see any advantage to use it anymore. I think eggs and some grass fed meats are better solution. IMO
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
not everyone used milk, its still a new thing, only introduced within the last 3- 5 centuries (its an estimate) and it was mostly used by middle easterns and Europeans. I suppose thats why most people who dont have middle eastern and European ancestry have some sort of digestive issue because its a new thing (Im native American but me and my family have no stomach issues, only my dad's side does) Most people used other things to get calcium and other essential vitamins, (like boiling pine needles is a great source of getting vitamim c). I dont understand the ideas with being vegan or vegetarian except the idea of losing weight but for you people who do vegan/vegetarian ways.. good job 👍
Northern European countries lack vitamin D levels. This can be a cause of osteoporosis. I don’t think it’s from dairy
I used to cough up flem almost every day and was getting bad coughs all the time then when I was 15 I went vegan its now 5 years later and I've never had flem since and I very rarely get bad coughs maybe once a year in winter whearas I used to have them year round
It's honestly the best thing you can do for your health and the environment.
But but the Cheese, I just don't know if I can do it.
You can buy a vegan cheese next time you’re out grocery shopping (if available). I’d recommend something like Violife. It doesn’t hurt to try, and who knows, you might be pleasantly surprised. You can enjoy the same tastes and textures, but without hurting the planet, the animals and yourself.
You can 💪💪💪
Superb...
Exactly.
