The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast

The Pros and Cons of Dairy

Dr. Jules Cormier (MD) Season 1 Episode 40

We've always been told that milk helps you grow up to become strong and healthy, yet when we study the longest living and healthiest populations on the planet, we quickly notice that most don't consume the milk of other species.  


Does milk really "do a body good"?  What about all the celebrities showing off their milk mustaches?  Is the dairy industry simply a marketing genius?  What are the odds of us having been duped by huge dairy corporations?  Could it be a coincidence that the government of Canada officially removed the dairy food group from the Canadian food guide in 2019?  


Does milk really help build strong bones?  That's the message we've been told since our childhood.  We associate milk with calcium, with strong bones and teeth and with health in general.  Is this true?  Would we all be frail and weak without cow's milk?  Why is it normal to drink cow's milk, but not dog or cat's milk, or even moose milk, considering it actually contains way more calcium?  That's a question I've asked myself for a long time, and in my simple human brain, there was always something very weird about drinking the milk of another lactating species.  In this article, I'll review the nutrient content of milk, how it's made along with the process and necessary steps from the farm to your fridge.
