This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and BiOptimizers.\nWe\u2019re told that milk is a perfect food that we should drink daily\u2014three glasses to be exact\u2014in spite of a large (and growing) body of research showing its lack of benefits and awful side effects. Even though cow\u2019s 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\u2019t be further from the truth.\nIn today\u2019s episode of my series I\u2019m 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.\xa0\nThis episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and BiOptimizers.\xa0\nAccess more than 3,000 specialty lab tests with Rupa Health.
