The discussion of dairy* is one that
interests many people and has no simple,
black-and-white answers. There are many
functional components of dairy that,
depending on the source and the individual
consuming it, can be highly problematic,
generally benign, or even beneficial.
The real challenge is twofold: being
honest with yourself about whether dairy is
“just fine” or just the opposite, and actually
finding a truly high-quality source of dairy if
you are one of the people who benefit from it.
Luckily, the Whole30 will help you with the
first part of that challenge. In the meantime,
let’s talk about some of the science about
dairy consumption.
