Deep dives
The Role of Cheese in Nutrition
Cheese has historically been a staple in human diets for nearly 10,000 years, primarily due to its convenience and nutritional benefits. Despite mainstream narratives that suggest dairy is detrimental to health, cheese, particularly from high-quality sources, is rich in essential nutrients like calcium. Contrary to common misconceptions, adequate calcium intake is crucial for preventing negative health outcomes, such as calcification of tissues. This perspective challenges the notion that dairy should be avoided, positioning raw, high-quality cheese as a beneficial addition to a balanced diet.
