This simple sugar - lactose leads to an insulin spike in the body. As Insulin is a hormone used to transfer glucose into the body to increase energy, a sudden spike due to consumption of milk may not have very long lasting effects thus meddles with the regularity of the sugar levels in the body depending on the time the milk is had.
Lactose intolerance is the inability of the body to digest lactose. Along with that milk can also cause several other digestive problems like bloating , constipation and IBS Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It is because the body has difficulty digesting casein , which is a protein present in animal milk which further gets into the bloodstream instead of digesting! A digestive system problem starts affecting the face resulting in acne and blisters inside the mouth too! Making an effort to ditch dairy is worth it to be one step closer to leading a healthier life!
Easy- Peasy. I love writing, travelling and pilates. I believe in that we all are part of this world for a reason, and I'm still in search of my calling.

Yogurt gives me an instant sinus infection, but cheese is the one thing I have a hard time avoiding. Anyway, sorry for the long post, but great article. This is a great entry, except for two fatal flaws.
As others have pointed out, it mentions soy as an alternative. Soy is heavily GMO, pesticide ridden, responsible for Amazonian deforestation, and is only nutritionally beneficial for women sometimes. What will very soon turn out to be clearly the best reason to avoid all dairy products is the contribution cows make to global warming due to their farting methane. I gave up dairy back in may — I have no allergies but I have noticed now that if I eat much dairy I break out in spots literally overnight!
No more achiness and tiredness, I feel 10 years younger. I could try rice milk, but its just not the same. My middler likes it, but we limit him to one small cup a day. Plus, I only like the chocolate version and that gives me headaches, so no more soy milk for me! Thought you might be interested. I am Courtney! There are so many great cheese-less pizza options out there. I need to try that white bean one! I feel great without it. Will be experimenting this weekend with some cheese-less homemade veggie pizzas!
Nice job, Courtney. I made a white-bean one from Vegan Recipes that was pretty good. I start Monday! Starting Monday, no more dairy for me! I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on lactose- and rennet-free cheese? I bought a pack of sharp wide cheddar yesterday that was all the above made of raw milk and even though it cost an arm and a leg, something about it being lactose and rennet-free makes me feel good.
A ton of replies. I gave up all dairy, meat, and eggs in spring of I can go as hard as I feel. Going non-dairy is almost a sure fire way to improve your racing performance. Also, everyone is vegan during a race when you need optimal energy and performance—why not apply that daily while training? Thanks for the great article! I was so glad to see you referenced The China Study book by Campbell.
My family stopped all fluid milk after I read his book. We minimize cheese as much as possible, and I would probably have a riot if we completely cut out ice cream. Also thanks to all who have commented, very informative references! Courtney, this is a great post! Or a cow drink human milk?
I love this post. And this post has finally convinced me to read the China Study, as so many others have recommended. Thank you, Courtney! Very informative post! Milk contains a lot of phosphorus which actually leaches calcium from the body. Colin Campbell. I gave up dairy when I went vegan a few years ago, and stomach pains and nausea I was used to experiencing every day went away. I never put two and two together that I was lactose intolerant. The doctor just classified me as having IBS.
Soooooo good, you will never miss ice cream! Ugh, gross! Generally, I do not consume dairy because of what I think is a lactose issue, but recently, I have been finding myself tolerating it better and eating more. This is a reminder of why I really should just go back to not having any. As for eggs, I feel similarly but have found it really hard to not eat them. But at least I can start with trying to henceforth bake without them and see how that goes.
Thanks for reminding me why I am an aspiring vegetarian in the first place. Any chance you could cite those studies? The China Study as Courtney mentioned is a gold-mine of information. The China study is one of the largest food studies done ever. It most certainly is not secrets…. Woo Hoo! I started my 40 day dairy free challenge today. You can follow my progress on twitter… bemorewithless I would love to hear from you with progress from your challenge too!
Thanks again for your feedback and support, Courtney. Great Post! I often try to avoid dairy but also have a weakness for cheese. But this gives me some new strength to continue resisting. Thanks again for the great info. Great post! My wife has been saying all this for years, and you know what? She is right and You are right. This just proves that so much of what Americans eat is determined by what big food producers tell us is good for us, and not what really is.
Its all about selling and profit. Meat and Dairy are NOT required for a healthy diet. Since I stopped eating animal products, I enjoy food so much more. Thanks again for a great post. Not a popular opinion, but very necessary:. A number of studies have found no significant decrease in fracture risk from drinking milk, while some research suggests that milk could actually contribute to fracture risk. One study in Sweden found that women who drank more than millilitres of milk daily — less than one glass — had a higher risk of fractures.
However, the study was observational, so the researchers cautioned against hyperbolic interpretations of their findings. But calcium is crucial during our adolescence for the development of bone strength, says Ian Givens, an expert in food chain nutrition at the University of Reading. Read more about whether we should drink milk to strengthen bones. A more recent review of studies looking into whether the amount of oestrogen consumed via milk is harmful found no cause for concern.
But whole milk only contains around 3. Read more about the true risks of saturated fats. In one study, researchers divided participants into four groups based on the amount of milk they drank, but they found that only those who drank the most — almost one litre per day — had an increased risk of heart disease.
Some experts argue that adverse symptoms — such as bloating and stomach cramps — are a response to a build-up of lactose in the body, and each individual has a different threshold before experiencing symptoms.
