biancadonk Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Ok, before all you mods get in a tizzy, I want to clarify that I'm not asking whether any dairy products are ok on the Whole30. I'm clear on that. My question is this: is dairy included on the list of bad things because of it being a potential allergen/irritant, or is there something else bad about it that I'm not aware of? I guess what I'm wondering is, after I (hopefully!) get through this whole30, if I reintroduce dairy and find that I feel okay, is there any other reason to be wary of it? I know Mark Sisson says that if you process it without any issues, it's fine in moderation. I also know that most of the Paleo people avoid it. I'm wondering what the Whole9 take is on the issue.

GFChris Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 There is an entire chapter on this in It Starts with Food. In short, dairy can cause an unhealthy hormonal response.For a bit more insight, here is the Whole9 Dairy Manifesto: http://www.whole9life.com/2013/03/the-dairy-manifesto/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biancadonk Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks, Chris! I guess I should get around to reading ISWF. My husband wonders how there can possibly be more nutrition books I want to read, after having checked out The Paleo Solution, The Primal Blueprint, Why We Get Fat, Wheat Belly, and a few others, but the blog article you linked to above was mostly stuff I hadn't read before. I've been feeling like there's a piece I'm missing on why to avoid dairy, so this is very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
