Remember the dairy industry-funded Got Milk commercials everywhere? Pictures of athletes and celebrities with milk-stashes convincing you and your parents that you must drink milk all day long?!
Well, that is the reason we have generations of sky-high levels of heart disease, osteoporosis, gut issues, autoimmune challenges, etc.
This is because regular non-organic cow milk from a grocery store can test positive for illegal antibiotics, high levels of growth hormones, and pesticide contaminants. It also contains a high level of omega-6s that fills your body with INFLAMMATION.
Pasteurization also kills beneficial bacteria that your gut relies on and destroys the chemical makeup of minerals like calcium. Meaning milk actually drains calcium from your bones!
I could go on and on, but instead, here’s my short and concise: Good, Better, Best when it comes to milk!
The Good: Store-Bought Nut Milks
Let’s start with the familiar: almond, cashew, coconut, etc. “milk” from the grocery store. These nut milks are great, especially when unsweetened and carrageenan-free.
They're a step in the right direction compared to cow’s milk, which can be highly acid-forming. Just make sure you’re reading the label: many brands pack in fillers and gums, and barely any nuts!
The Better: Raw Milk
Here’s the upgrade: raw milk. Raw milk can offer living enzymes, probiotics, and nutrients that pasteurized and homogenized cow’s milk lacks. Many people who are “allergic to milk” can drink raw milk without any problems.
Perhaps it is not the milk, but all the toxic additives that shouldn’t be near a human body. For more insight into my thoughts on raw milk, please read this blog post.
The Best: Homemade Organic Nut Milk: Pure and Alkaline
Okay, this is where the magic happens. Make your own organic nut milk at home—raw almonds, coconut shavings, chia seeds, cashews, cinnamon, cardamom…go wild and get creative! To get you started, try my Macadamia Chai Nut Mylk recipe!
There are several affordable “plant milk making machines” such as Milkin’Plants that you can buy online.
You literally dump whatever you want in, add water, push start, and a few minutes later, you have your own pure nut milk! No toxic fillers, no artificial ingredients, just pure, alkaline nut goodness.
Why You Want the “Best” For Your Bones
A quick detour: I mentioned osteoporosis above and wanted to expand upon it because most people think that cow’s milk prevents it. However, it is the OPPOSITE!
Here’s the 411: Milk does have a high calcium content. However, the human body can only utilize small amounts of calcium from cow's milk because it wasn't designed to drink it in the first place. For example, after twelve years of study, Harvard researchers found a correlation between increased dairy consumption and increased hip fractures in women. The extra dairy actually made their bones MORE FRAGILE.
However, eating an alkaline diet and taking Acid-Kicking Vitamin D3+K2 is your ticket to strong bones for life. Vitamin D makes it possible to absorb calcium. Vitamin K drives calcium to the bones, where it belongs. Together, they work synergistically to optimize bone strength—teamwork for the win.
Additionally, the latest research is finding that a lack of magnesium is a major culprit in getting osteoporosis.
Therefore, pair your Acid-Kicking Vitamin D3+K2 with Acid-Kicking Magnesium for optimal bone strength, deep sleep, superior immune power, and mental strength and happiness!
