 You've probably spent your whole life hearing that dairy is good for you. You've been told it does your body good. You've seen billboards and magazine pages featuring famous people with milk mustaches telling you it's great for your bones, your brain, and your heart. But I've been a heart doctor for years and if you ask me, that's a bunch of baloney. Non-fat milk, low-fat cheese, yogurt, especially Greek yogurt. All these products have been super trendy health items here in America for years. And honestly, they shouldn't be. You see, most American cow milk products contain a protein called Kacene A1. This pesky protein has been tied to numerous digestive and immune problems, including the now infamous leaky gut. In fact, many people who think they're lactose intolerant are actually reacting to the Kacene A1, not the lactose. So does this mean you can't ever have yogurt, cheese, or even cream in your coffee? Fortunately, no, it doesn't. You don't have to give up completely on dairy. You just have to pick the right dairy, dairy that doesn't have Kacene A1. One of my personal favorites is buffalo milk, which is used to make buffalo mozzarella in Italy. Nowadays, there's a great brand right here in the U.S. called Bouff that comes from grass-fed buffalo. They make fantastic buffalo milk, cheese, and yogurts. And they're available in most whole foods and many big natural grocery chains. And if that's not your thing, there's always sheep and goat's milk. Sheep's milk, yogurt, and cheese are pretty much widely available. Trader Joe's has a wonderful sheep's milk feta cheese called Pastures of Eating. And for goat's milk, it's easy enough to find goat milk, cheeses, ice cream, butter, yogurt, even plain goat milk, which is pretty much everywhere. And if you're super attached to the taste of cow's milk, I have good news there, too. There's a product called A2 Milk that doesn't have the Kacene A1 protein. It's closer to the cow's milk in southern Europe or the cow's milk that our ancestors drink. And if you want to avoid animal products entirely, coconut milk is your best option, including coconut milk, yogurt, and even ice cream, which I love. So next time you find yourself craving dairy, you don't have to feel deprived. Just reach for one of these easy, delicious alternatives.
