Q "I don't understand how cow's milk is bad for you, but other milk is ok, like sheep and goat?"
A "So why should we eliminate cow dairy from our diets you ask? Many of us think it's for those labeled 'lactose intolerant', but that's not it. Most of us don't stop to think that cow's milk is designed to bring a 200 lb infant calf to a 800 lb cow in a year. Does that sound like it's designed for humans?
So our other options sheep and goat; their milk's protein is much closer to the protein of a human's milk. Infant to adult sizes are much more like our own.
Most importantly, the protein of cow's milk is not easily digested. We rely on our immune systems to attack the molecule to remove it, similar to a bacteria or virus. This causes undue stress to our systems. We should not be 'fighting off' our food! Cow dairy also forms mucus in our bodies; in the lymph and bowels primarily. This makes elimination sluggish, compromising our ability to get rid of waste.
If you haven't begun to explore the world of goat and sheep products, you are in for a real treat! There are a variety of cheeses, milks, yogurts available to you! Have fun experimenting with new flavors and types!
