Going Dairy-Free: Is It Really Necessary?
These days, going "dairy-free" has almost become an expected requirement if you want to eat healthy. I assumed when writing my cookbook, Meals That Heal, I would need to include a section on why we all should cut out dairy. But before I write anything nutrition-related, I always study the most updated research, and after reading what we currently know about dairy, I can't say that it's necessarily bad. In fact, it's got some key nutrients that many of us are lacking, including Vitamin D and calcium.
A lot of information out there on following a dairy-free diet is really confusing and highly individualized. What works for one person may not work for someone else. So I simplified the information we have and discussed what we’re still learning in this article I wrote for Eating Well. Click the link and see if giving up diary is the right move for you.
…And in case you're wondering, I'm not giving up my cheese just yet!
