Is It Okay To Eat Cheese And What Types Of Dairy Should You Avoid?

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and BiOptimizers.
We’re told that milk is a perfect food that we should drink
daily—three glasses to be exact—in spite of a large (and growing)
body of research showing its lack of benefits and awful side
effects. Even though cow’s milk today contains dozens of
reproductive hormones, allergenic proteins, antibiotics, and growth
factors, some of which are known to promote cancer, the dairy
industry wants us to believe that their cows are happily producing
milk and grazing through green pastures. For the most part, that
couldn’t be further from the truth. In today’s episode of my series
I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about common dairy myths, why it
is such a contentious food, how to tackle the pros and cons of
whether it belongs in your diet, and which dairy is actually okay
to eat.  This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and
