While 4% of the population suffers from diagnosed lactose intolerance,
it is estimated that a staggering 50 million Americans suffer from some
degree of dairy intolerance/allergy.
Moreover, recent research has linked milk protein (casein) to cancer and
autoimmune illnesses and found evidence that our bodies quit making the
enzymes necessary to digest milk as we age--thus setting up those who
consume a dairy-rich diet for IBS, allergies and other autoimmune and
digestive difficulties. Dairy has become the "new gluten"--something
that people are realizing needs to be minimized in our diet whether they
have a formally diagnosed allergy or not.
