Great question received on IG. Let's dive into #DAIRY πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡


The avocado part is easy. The human gut pH is VERY acidic, i.e. it's not built to digest plants of any shape or form. Plants = not food for humans, period.

Dairy is a more controversial, because it IS an animal product; however it does come with trade-offs.

I think Zac nails it here πŸ‘‡



Milk's (and therefore dairy's) role in nature is to load babies with tons of nutrients very quickly, since they need to grow extremely fast. It achieves this by containing addictive substances (including galactose, a form of sugar), which make the infant slightly addicted to it by design.

Once the infant grows big enough to chew and digest meat, they stop drinking milk, and meat becomes the new optimal food. (No animal in nature drinks milk as an adult; there's a reason for that)

Now let's look at human adults:

Dairy's addictive properties, and it's natural role of being a growth agent, don't change just because you're consuming it at an older age. This is why it's so hard to just have one tiny piece of cheese, or 1/3 glass of milk. And it WILL make you gain weight if you consume it consistently.

I've experimented with this myself when I've visited my hometown in WA, since it's a farm town and there's unlimited raw milk/cheese everywhere.

Yes it tastes amazing. But I absolutely develop a little bit of a stomach pouch when I add that on top of my usual steak/salt/water strict diet. Gas increases too - a clear negative signal from your gut.

CONCLUSION:

Is dairy optimal?

For infants, yes. as they need to gain weight fast.

For adults, no...UNLESS your goal is to gain weight. There are stories out there of people with anorexia getting into raw milk, and finding excellent healing benefits, so I don't want to discount those stories.

But if you're trying to stay at peak trim physique or lose weight, definitely avoid it. Lion Diet is king peak for that.

Hope that helps! Here's a link to a bunch more resources on dairy if you want to dive deeper, feat. and several other no-BS carni docs πŸ‘‡
