Click here to listen to an interesting podcast with SuperHuman Radio's Carl Lenore interviewing Loren Cordain. Click through approximately 50% as the first half is a different interview.
Bio: Dr. Loren Cordain is a leading expert on the dramatic health benefits of eating a diet that best mimics the nutrition of our evolutionary and genetic heritage - the ancestral, Paleolithic diet. The author of the ground-breaking books “The Paleo Diet,” and "The Dietary Cure for Acne," for the past two decades he has researched the effects of diet on human health and specifically examined links between modern diets and disease. He discusses how the modern diet, results in epidemic levels of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, arthritis, acne, gastrointestinal disease, and more.
In the podcast, Loren discuss why we SHOULD NOT be consuming dairy.
Milk has numerous properties that may adversely affect health:
- Paradoxically, milk has a low glycemic response, but has an insulin response similar to eating a chocolate chip cookie or candy. In a recent study of young boys, they became insulin resistant after 7 days on a high milk diet compared to 7 days of a high meat diet.
- In humans, milk drinking elevates a hormone called IGF-1 which increases growth in children, resulting in an increased adult stature, but it also increases the risk for breast, colon and most particularly prostate cancer.
- In numerous epidemiological studies, milk drinking has been associated with an increased risk for numerous autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. Young children are particularly at risk for type 1 diabetes if bovine milk exposure occurs before the age of 1 year. In animal models of multiple sclerosis, a particular protein found in milk (butyrophilin) when injected into rats causes the animal equivalent of MS.
