Dairy-Free Milk, Yogurt and Cheese Guide
Dairy has become a hot topic. Should you consume it for overall health or is it only meant for human and animal babies? This is a debate I try to stay out of as I take a neutral approach. Personally, I have no problem with my clients consuming cow’s milk dairy if they choose to – especially fermented dairy like yogurt, cheese and kefir. On the other hand, I would never push someone to consume dairy as I do not believe we need it for overall health. The good news is that there are a ton of dairy-free plant-based alternatives if you choose to avoid dairy. Check out Rachel Feldman, my current Dietetic Intern’s blog post on the wide variety of available dairy-free milks, yogurts and cheese
Got milk?
Do you remember the “Got Milk?” ads we used to see growing up? A celebrity, athlete or political figure would be doing something in the ad with a white milk mustache on their upper lip. I remember this well. In fact, I used to love collecting as many of those ads as I could and would trade them with my friends. Now a days, these ads are nowhere to be found and documentaries showing the “horrors” of the dairy industry are popping up everywhere. While there are many reasons to go on a low dairy or non-dairy diet, this blog post isn’t meant to sway you in either direction. We will simply be sharing the various benefits to a non-dairy diet.
Potential benefits of avoiding dairy:
- Lactose intolerance. It’s estimated that 65% of the human population has a reduced ability to digest lactose after infancy. Lactose intolerance in adulthood is most prevalent in people of East Asian descent, affecting more than 90 percent of adults in some of these communities. Reference This means you have trouble digesting lactose, the sugar in milk. If you get gassy, bloated or have to run to the bathroom after consuming dairy, especially milk/milk products, you may be lactose intolerant. Cheese tends to contain minimal lactose so should be well tolerated. To determine if you have lactose intolerance, drink a glass of milk on an empty stomach or try an elimination diet to see if dairy is a culprit. If you don’t want to give up your favorite Greek yogurt, you could take a dietary supplement such as Lactaid which contains lactase, an enzyme which helps break down lactose in the body.
Allergies. Allergy to cow’s milk is the most common food allergy in infants and young children. While not as many adults have milk allergies, some report sensitivities to milk and milk products and feel best avoiding it.- Acne. Anecdotally, some people swear that giving up dairy cleared their acne while others say it has no effect at all. The actual studies are conflicting as well. This study that proved a link between acne and dairy reports the cause to be from inflammation caused by the dairy. In addition, whey and casein in milk release a hormone similar to insulin called IGF-1, which can produce acne breakouts. Reference #1 reference #2 Women with PCOS are more prone to hormonal acne, so they may benefit from the effects of a low or non-dairy diet. You could always so a trial of eliminating dairy to see if your skin clears up.
- Ethics. As vegan and vegetarian diets are increasingly popular, non-dairy milk, cheese and yogurt alternatives are becoming a huge part of our food culture today. May people decide to ditch these products in support of animal rights!
- Desire to avoid hormones.This is also a controversial area. Some research suggests “the presence of steroid hormones in dairy products could be counted as an important risk factor for various cancers in humans.”Reference
Potential Cons
- Low in protein. One cup of cow’s milk has 8 grams of protein. Most non-dairy milk products only contain 1-2g protein. This can be a concern when relying on milk for adequate protein.
- Low in calcium and Vitamin D. Read labels. Most commercial brands fortify with both of these nutrients, while other brands do not. Consider taking a supplement if you are worried about these nutrients.
- Taste. This is personal but some people state that non-dairy alternatives do not taste well. My recommendation would be buy a few different brands and see which one tastes best!
- Cost. Many non-dairy and vegan foods cost more than their traditional dairy counterparts.
- Eating out. This may be more difficult when your city doesn’t have many vegan restaurants or produce alternatives. For example, if your friends are getting frozen yogurt, not many places have a plant based frozen dessert!
- Thickeners and stabilizers. Many commercially made non-dairy milks include stabilizers such as guar gum (fiber from guar plant), xanthan gum (may have a laxative effect) and carrageenan, derived from seaweed (may cause inflammation especially with Inflammatory bowel disease.)Reference #1
- Added sugar.Just as with dairy products, added sweeteners are used frequently in dairy alternatives. Added sugars can promote inflammation and increase risk of heart disease. In addition, they can cause carb cravings, spike blood sugar and insulin and promote weight gain. Opt for unsweetened non-dairy alternatives when possible. At this time, the term “added sugar” has not been mandated to appear of the food label (it will soon!), but you’ll be able to find any added sugars in the ingredient list. For example, see picture below:
Below are three charts comparing cheese, milk and yogurt alternatives. The last line of these charts include traditional dairy options and their nutrition composition for comparison.
Dairy-Free Cheese
Dairy-Free Milk
Dairy-Free Yogurt
Bottom line
If you decide to go dairy-free when to comes to your milk, yogurt and cheese, you are in luck. Fortunately, there are some great alternatives! Just make sure to scrutinize food labels for sugars and other ingredients. And keep in mind that some plant based non-dairy products are low in protein, not fortified with vitamin D, B12 or calcium. This is especially important if you are a vegan or vegetarian. So make sure you are getting these nutrients from other foods or supplements if need be.

We are back together and living Happily together again. To be honest, I still can’t believe it, because it’s highly unbelievable.

Chief Ade put in work after I provided all the necessary materials needed for the work, he gave me the lottery numbers the next day and instructed me on how to play which I did, I won the 65 MILLION LOTTO MAX jackpot the next day and I was so happy to announce to my wife and children about my wins, I’m Mark Hanley of Newmarket, Ontario.

Hi, I acquired my first home at the beginning of the year. To some, lottery players appear ridiculous, while we view it as a chance for an improved future. I’m known as Megan Taylor and I have played the lottery for over ten years, yet I haven’t won anything substantial. In my pursuit of understanding how to win better, I was advised to consult Lord Meduza, the priest who provided me with the precise 6 numbers that helped me secure the Mega Millions jackpot of $277 million after using his spell powers and following his guidance. Lord Meduza services is top notch, and I believe your dreams aren’t finished unless you decide they are. Contact Lord Meduza the priest and he will assist you in realizing your aspirations..

Since my husband left me, I have been struggling on how to pay my bills and cater for myself and son, it wasn’t easy for me and my son for a year and six months. I came in contact with Dr Uwaifo page and I saw all the numerous testimonies of people he has helped win Lotto Max with his spiritual spell casting. I decided to contact him and told him all I was going through, he replied “my daughter you are in the right place, I will help you accomplish all that you seek. “ he then told me all I need to do, I actually did them reluctantly because I wasn’t too sure with the whole thing. After the whole process, he gave me the winning number, I followed his instructions and played the Lotto Max game with the winning number he gave me. Few days.

AT 53 YEARS I WON THE LOTTERY: I am a 53 years old farmer who struggled hard to keep food on the table, When Crops failed my debts grew and hope slowly died. One night, desperate and broken, I came across testimonies online about a spell caster named Dr Ogbo who reveals lottery winning numbers. I contacted him for help and I provided him with the requirement to cast the lottery spell, 3 hours after the lottery spell was casted, he gave me specific numbers to play. I rushed to the nearby lotto store and bought a ticket using those numbers, 2 days later I got a notification that I won $5,123,000. I stood in disbelief, shaking, crying, staring at the numbers on the screen. From barely surviving to becoming a millionaire, it felt unreal. Dr Ogbo didn’t just reveal numbers, he gave me a second chance at life. I’ve paid off my debts, bought new land, and my kids will never suffer like I did. Thank you, Dr Ogbo. You are truly the miracle I prayed for. Join me and thank this great spell caster called DR Ogbo via email: Psychicogboreading@mail.com or WhatsApp at +2348110968476

If you like you can me insane man for testifying and coming open to the public to glorify and rain praises upon the only one EXPERIENCED,ACCESSIBLE,TRUSTED AND MOST POWERFULLY spell caster called Gudu Osemu for helping me use his reliable and sincere spell work to bring back to me my lovely wife after 8 months of separations i and my wife had a misunderstanding that her family has to tell her to get a divorce which she did. Since the divorce i have not been myself as i always think of her whenever am alone, even with the drinks to clear her out of my brain the reflections of her beauty will always flash through my mind that i don’t know what to do to get her back home. On thinking how to bring her back home for us to leave happily together and call off the divorce i went to marriage advisers and also register for how you need to get your broken marriage restored back. I spent two weeks on the seminar were we where always thought about the steps to take to restore a broken marriage back but to me it seems not to be helpful in anyway. my wife don’t pick my calls and never wanted to see me again, and this was the woman that use to love, care, respect and adore me before. Her decision that resulted to our divorce was just a misunderstanding that could be easily corrected after much apology to her that it will never repeat itself again. I know she found out that i was having affair outside our marriage is enough but my wife i use to know could not has gone so far even with the conviction of her family to do it. As for me i had a second thought to know that there must be some enemies that must have been manipulating my wife against me and with that i need help to get to stop the divorce so we can be happy again. As i was doing everything to get her back i came across a testimony of a woman on the internet that she use Gudu Osemu advise and spell work to get her man back. Initially i was skeptical about it, But something inside of me asked me to try and i emailed the spell caster called Gudu Osemu for help. To cut the long story short, Am so thankful to spirit inside of me that asked me to contact Dr Gudu Osemu for help. Am glad to let everyone know that i got my lovely wife back with Gudu spell casting that is harmless. Again Gudu Osemu thanks for helping me as you are a true prophet/spell caster that have shown yourself approved in my life. Are you out there confused on how to get your ex-lover back? restore your broken marriage, win lotteries, get healed of cancer and any form of illness and problems you might be battling with on earth today?

Google AI has caused me more problems than it has solved. I was connected to a cryptocurrency trader through Google AI and lost my hard-earned money to a scam. If it weren’t for the assistance of Lord Meduza, whom my sister-in-law recommended to me, I wouldn’t have been able to win the $435 MILLION Mega Millions Lottery. My life could have taken a drastic turn due to the overwhelming bills I faced after being cheated by the crypto traders. Lord Meduza utilized his extraordinary spell powers to determine the perfect six numbers I needed to win the Mega Millions Lottery, and I followed his instructions to play those numbers. I am incredibly thankful for the support, love, and kindness he has shown, which is beyond measure.

Losing money through cryptocurrency investments can be a really tough and emotional experience. It can leave you feeling stressed, confused, and unsure of what to do next especially when things don’t go the way you expected. I know someone who went through this after investing in Ethereum with high hopes, but unfortunately ended up facing a significant loss. It was a challenging time, and figuring out the next steps took patience and careful thinking. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, try not to lose hope. At the same time, it’s very important to stay cautious. Take your time to research any service you come across, verify their credibility, and avoid making quick decisions under pressure. There are services that claim to assist in situations like this, and some people consider reaching out to iCODE CYBER TECH for guidance on possible solutions.

My girlfriend ended our relationship for seemingly no reason and I came to understand that my financial struggles may have contributed to this, as a healthy relationship is difficult without money and having more money is often seen as a vital tool of life. I’m Jeffery Vargas and for spell expertise, Lord Meduza is the right person to turn to. My girlfriend left me for another man due to my financial situation but after connecting with Lord Meduza he created a spell that not only brought my girlfriend back but also made me a lottery winner of €116 MILLION by providing me with the 6 lucky numbers to play the lottery. Everything feels almost unreal but I assure you this is genuine and it’s occurring. My life is incredibly beautiful and I owe my deepest appreciation to Lord Meduza as his efforts are the epitome of excellence.
