In fact, dairy foods like milk may be part of why you don’t feel spectacular every day. No matter how many mustache-\u00adbearing, hot models you see say otherwise, milk does not necessarily \u201cdo a body good.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Dairy Myth: Do We Really Need Milk to Thrive?<\/strong><\/p>

The American Dairy Association would have us believe that without a daily glass (or two, or four) of milk, we\u2019re destined to die early\u2014or at the very least, fall and break something important. But the truth is, there are entire countries where people never eat dairy foods, yet they still thrive, get plenty of calcium in their diets, and even have Olympic teams.<\/p>

This means their bodies lack an enzyme called lactase, making it difficult to digest milk properly. The result? Bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, and other IBS-like symptoms.

If you\u2019re suffering from these symptoms, it might be time to make a change.

The Hidden Dangers of Dairy: It\u2019s More Than Just Lactose Intolerance<\/strong><\/p>

Lactose intolerance is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to dairy-related issues. For many, dairy foods are highly inflammatory, ranking among the top three food sensitivities in the U.S. Beyond digestive discomfort, dairy sensitivity can manifest in a variety of ways, including:<\/p>
