Episode notes
Most Adults React To Lactose
- About 75% of adults have lactose intolerance or sensitivity.
- Lactose in dairy can cause fatigue, weight gain, and skin problems for many people.
Skip American Processed Cheese
- Avoid American processed cheese slices; they're typically not real cheese.
- They contain emulsifiers, seed oils, trans fats, lactose and inflammatory A1 casein.
Limit Ricotta Consumption
- Avoid high amounts of ricotta because it's made from whey and is lactose-rich.
- Whey is strongly insulogenic and can spike insulin, worsening weight and bloating.
