Hey Layne, do you have any detailed videos on digestion in general that talk in detail about myths surrounding 'Growth Hormones' or other 'chemicals' in non-organic foods and how they effect us? I would really love to know more about that subject from a trusted source. Your explanation here on how growth hormones in animals isn't a negative - is blowing my mind. Love the content sir!

A1/A2 casein cow milk makes me mucous filled AF, so I avoid because I don't like sneezing and blowing my nose constantly. A2 only cow milk, goat milk, and sheep milk don't have this effect on me whatsoever. Well cultured forms (particularly yogurt) of A1/A2 casein milk also doesn't bother me. Many years ago, when I stopped drinking cow milk, I switched to soy milk thinking, "this is going to be better". To my surprise and disappointment, the soy milk also made me a mucous factory, and was actually worse for gassiness and bloating. Something I have been wondering about is the effect of full and extra fat cow milk dairy on male testosterone levels? I've heard conflicting things about it. I'm avoiding the full and extra fat versions of dairy until I see more conclusive evidence one way or another.

[@Macatho]

Sigh, this is information you've gotten from exactly the same type of sources Layne debunks every day/week... There is a reason why we pasteurize milk, because this "small" risk is just too high when you sell milk to a 100 million people. It's quite obviously everything your body needs because it's 100% what calves eat... jfc And no, the reward is not high. Go to pubmed and read a study.

I don't think people are talking about crossbreeding/selective breeding when they say GMO. I think they are referring to DNA editing that you couldn't get naturally, like combining corn and bacteria DNA to make Roundup Ready Corn. Saying that we've had it for thousands of years is false.

[@Collinpawns]

Not false at all. Selecting for a desirable gene IS genetic modification. Using the term DNA editing with negative connotation is also nebulous. GMOs being dangerous is also a nebulous descriptor with no evidence whatsoever. Natural versus unnatural is a non-argument. You realize most GMOs are SINGLE gene splicing events in non coding parts of a chromosome, like an enzyme that prevents a particular fungus from growing on the plant or a protein that makes the plant inedible to an herbivorous insect. Thinking a GMO is dangerous comes from smear campaigning and ignorance. There is not one single shred of evidence to suggest GMOs are dangerous and all the evidence in the world to suggest they are a necessary tool to prevent loss of crop. Why make this argument about "natural" changes? Who cares if it can be found in nature? We aren't natural anymore.

First, if you are in a place in your life where you can get away from highly processed foods, do so. It's a day and night difference. Processed milk today is essentially colored water with milk flavor, compared to raw milk. I was lucky enough to have access to raw gras fed milk from a farmer next door everyday for a part of my life. A glass is essentially a whole breakfast, that's how powerful it is. That was also the time i had the most energy. Once i moved and did not have access to raw milk, i felt that on every level. If you have farmers close to you who produce milk and you do not get your milk directly from them, then you're doing something wrong. On top of that, it's cheaper too.
