Happy Healthy Sneak Peek #5

Hey, all! Here’s another sneak peek of my new book, Happy Healthy Gut. I will post a new preview, from a different chapter, every 2 days until release date (January 2), so stay tuned for more…HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

From Chapter Six (A Pitch for Plant-Based):

Dairy is not much better. When a baby is born, their bodies are designed to digest their mother’s milk easily. When they are weaned, on average at about twelve months old, their bodies quit making it possible to digest milk. Milk is something that is specifically designed for babies who cannot consume anything else for months, due to underdeveloped digestive systems, and lack of teeth. We don’t bottle human breast milk and still drink it into our forties, right? (Unless you’re my brother-in-law…but that was a happy accident.) Even cows wean…the baby calf stops nursing from her mother around age two. After that, no more milk. Nada. She’s like, “Here, eat some grass…”

Ever wonder why so many people are lactose intolerant? It’s because our bodies are not designed to consume lactose, the sugar in dairy, or casein, the protein. It makes us gassy, constipated, irritable, and full of mucous. This is a train wreck for people with irritable bowels of any form. Eliminating dairy from your diet could be your life saver, especially if you live in a country like the United States, which permits antibiotics and growth hormones to be directly injected into conventionally farmed cattle, therefore creating heavily hormone-laced products, and very unnatural, miserable animals. I’m not letting Canada off the hook here. While it’s true that Canadian laws are stricter when it comes to these practices, the country’s laws make it legal to add both antibiotics and hormones to the cows’ feed, unless the products will be certified as organic.”
