When I was a baby, I was allergic to most kinds of milk......could only tolerate goats milk. Cow's milk is not a product originally designed for humans, so thats why so many people have issues with it.
I love ice cream.....couldn't imagine life without it, but I'm not a huge milk drinker. My husband is and he also eats 6 eggs nearly everday for breakfast. He is as healthy as a horse and his cholesterol is lower than mine....
For me personally I feel much better on a low blood sugar diet. Eat 6 times a day kind of like a diabetic. Lower carbs and higher protien portioned out in exchanges. Weight melts off too when I stick to it. My blood sugar can drop really low, but they say I don't have reactive hypoglycemia (don't react badly to the low sugar level). But I would recommend this diet to anyone....very healthy, and knocking out most sugars keeps the fat content low.
What about the new SILK milk product? Its soy I believe and my sister in law loves it. Better for women anyway especially as we age as soy is good for the hormone issues we face.
