This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Paleovalley.\nWe\u2019ve been told over and over again that dairy is a great source of calcium; that milk makes healthy bones and we should drink it daily. I\u2019m here to tell you that this is not true. Cow\u2019s milk from conventionally raised cattle contains dozens of reproductive hormones, allergenic proteins, antibiotics, chemicals, inflammatory compounds, and growth factors, some of which are known to promote cancer. While humans are the only species that continue to drink milk after weaning, we have no biological requirement for this food. Moreover, the milk we drink today is not what our grandparents drank.\nIn this episode of my new Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about why we should avoid almost all dairy. We also discuss some of the popular myths about dairy, the types of dairy that are okay to eat, and much more.\nDhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry.
