RE: There is no “perfect diet” that’s right for everyone. There just isn’t - so deal with it!

Your posts are always informative @kiwideb and I enjoy reading them. A question..Why would one 'avoid pasteurized milk' ?

Sort:  

The short answer is that pasteurising kills off all the beneficial enzymes, including the ones that help digest lactose, and help absorb calcium. Dairy is a big topic, that I will post more about another day :-) I saw your Charlie Chaplin post and have it open to hopefully play the clips later this evening. Something to look forward to.

But it is not a 'negative' food though... merely fairly useless {smile}

I think that should have read {desperately hoping smile}?

{screws up face and makes nondescript sort of noise that someone makes when they want to give the answer you're hoping for, but really can't}

No, it really is a ruined food. Some people get away with it but a lot of people have very bad reactions. The good news is that if you ferment it, or buy fermented such as yoghurt, kefir or cheese, that will be a lot more digestible.

My webpage on milk is very long, but I think I'll break it down into sections and start posting it. Tonight hopefully.

Thanks @kiwideb... I am very fortunate as I have zero allergies and can eat and drink anything, so do not fuss about things. As I said before I enjoy milk but cannot get whole milk here in the city.

You are very lucky. In that case, enjoy and don't stress!

Oh, I've just seen @sift666 has pointed you to a copy of my article on his site. Nevertheless, if you're wondering, so are others, so I will put that on the priority list.
