Ep:233 THE TRUTH ABOUT DAIRY - WHEN IS IT GOOD OR BAD? - by Robert Cywes

In this video Dr Cywes discusses practical ways to decide whether DAIRY has benefits or is better left out of your diet, as well as when to add or remove dairy products. There are too many authoritarian flapping gums on the internet who are so dogmatically absolutist that it is impossible to know the truth for yourself. Know the pros and cons then make a personal decision - and it’s OK to change it up. Know the scientific truth about how your body works.

[@hawkwood6405]

I have found the total elimination of processed foods, seed oils, and all grains has turned my health around, it took about 18months to really feel the difference however. What do I eat? Meat, eggs, hard cheeses, cream, raw nuts and lots of vegetables. Hard cheeses are an excellent source of vitamin K2 which is an important micronutrient in the human diet. I skip breakfast, carnivore lunch then load up on the veggies with dinner with a big salad. At 63 I truly feel better than I did when I was in my 40's. Listen to the good doctor, he knows what he is talking about.

[@cesarjavierbarbosa2acidgre276]

Giving up grains and seed oils is more than enough. I recommend a grain free seed oil free diet for starters (I allow myself to treat with ice cream, spoonful of nutella, chocolate bar that has no seed oil, soft drinks, fruit juices, flavored yogurt, nevertheless, is hard to choose a process food that has no seed oil and grains, so I'm pretty much left with a limited amount of processed food, aiming the carbs via fruits and tubers (aka starchy vegetables, except corn). I may not not loss too many weigh, but the inflammation is gone. Hamburger with fries? I eat the hamburger bunless, and fries fried in tallow, ghee, avocado oil (etc mainly SFA and MUFA's oils). At least in the beginning, cause the treats will be eliminated soon, leaving fruits and tubers last.

@@peacelovejoyandhappiness Yep. And going keto (or carnivore) may cause you to burnout and is a big change. I only cut the inflammatory food. The transition isn't difficult (in my diet, is simple, just seeking out carbs that isn't grain based) Someone may ask me if sodas are inflammatory. The answer is complicated (contains HFCS), but for me, it doesn't seem to trigger such things. Shoot for homemade orange juice as a best alternative to soda, I feel satisfied despite being a carb. I think if one is gonna eat carb for a while, shoot for the most nutrient dense.

Been strict carnivore for 9 months, lost 80 lbs (which was the LEAST of the positive results, btw!) and just now started craving more dairy. Weight has been plateauing (I suspect I still have 30-40 lbs to go - but just letting my body do what it needs and it will tell me.) I had inadvertently gone down to zero dairy when I switched from butter to tallow. I also knew my calorie count was dipping a bit low for my optimal feeling, but appetite was suppressed. My favorite dairy is organic heavy whipping cream so I have added it back in. Pretty much as much as I want and I added coffee back in as well. Well...2 weeks of this and my weight is melting off again! Watch this video and now I understand why --- this is the first I had heard about making sure you at least cycle with dairy. Won't be a problem now, as I actually can tell a difference being on it - with the other non-weight related benefits of carnivore - and I do enjoy my cream, so I plan to just make sure I keep dairy in my repertoire! Thanks for explaining WHY this works - makes perfect sense. It also explains why a strip of bacon with good sour cream spread on top tastes every bit as good as the proverbial chocolate cake to me!!

Part 2 A man who developed type 1 diabetes that I knew used to have a milk delivery business in a rural town setting. His diabetes was out of control. He was avoiding all sugar religiously, but his blood sugar could not be controlled because he freely drank large quantities of milk daily not realising lactose is also a sugar and can cause havoc as well. Then there was a dairy farmer, who hated vegans. He drank fresh milk daily religiously till in his retirement years. One day, while showing a video on the link between calcium, vit K and osteoporosis, this man, who unbeknown to me was struggling with osteoporosis, came to me after the meeting and thanked me for helping him to understand why the calcium in dairy was in fact exacerbating his condition rather than solving it. Then there is my own experience. Dairy allergy. I had Niagara Falls down the back of my throat into my lungs causing major problems. I loved dairy, but dairy didn't "love" me. I would travel 20km to get a 2 litre bottle of fresh full cream Jersey milk for a treat as a student. After leaving all dairy for 3 months the river dried up and also the waterfall. I accidentally ate dairy due to it being put in a salad. The effect to my surprise was similar to anaphylactic shock. Body temp dropped. Began to shake. Felt as if hit by 10 pound hammer between the eyes. This is real.

Thank you Dr Cywes for a sane way to look at dairy. Also thank you for your carb addiction model wisdom. You are really helping me in my lifelong health journey by being realistic. I find myself having to steer clear of carnivore/keto “influencers” who advocate for some pretty extreme eating measures. For me, they are just talking about another “All-or-nothing” way of life that every obese person has dealt with their entire life. I am a 65 year old,now normal weight, woman who wants to be totally alive until I die, if you know what I mean.

[@julieclark606]

Dr. Cywes, I love it that you acknowledge the existence of (and significance of) Carb Addiction. I myself am a Carb Addiction Coach. However, I think you're missing the piece that for SOME people, casein has an addictive effect. The protein in dairy (called casein) gets broken down into opioid-like peptides which bind to opioid receptors in the brain. Basically, dairy protein has opiate molecules built into it. Casomorphins typically have far milder opioid effects than those of strong narcotics like heroin and morphine. But they do have an opioid effect. Some of us with the brain disease of addiction are more sensitive to the opioid effect of casomorphines. And the later our stage of addiction, the more problematic "rewarding substances" become. Thus, for some, dairy is too triggering (too activating of our brain reward pathways) to allow our addiction to reach remission and remain there. That’s why it’s advisable for some people to abstain from dairy products. There are two common exceptions: Butter has the second-lowest level of casein of any dairy product, containing mostly fat and very little protein (casein). The only dairy product with a lower level of casein (essentially none) is ghee, also known as clarified butter. This is a list of common dairy products based on their typical ESTIMATED casein content, from highest to lowest. (Please note that these are general estimates. Variations can occur between different brands and specific product formulations.) 1. Parmesan and Romano cheese: Approximately 30-40% casein. 2. Cheeses such as Cheddar, Gruyere, Swiss , Colby and Provolone: Around 25-30% casein. 3. Feta and Goat cheese: Approximately 14-18% 4. Greek yogurt: Higher casein levels due to straining. 6. Regular yogurt: Moderate amount of casein. 7. Cottage cheese: Contains a moderate amount of casein ( about 11-13%) 8. Cow’s milk (skim, 2% or whole): Approximately 2.6% to 2.8% casein by weight. 9. Ice cream: Casein content varies but is typically moderate (approx. 2-4%). Ice cream’s addictive properties are usually boosted substantially by its sugar/sweetener content and other addictive ingredients such as chocolate (which contains caffeine) and flour from mix-ins like “cookie dough”. 10. Ricotta cheese: Fairly low in casein content. 11. Butter: Contains very little casein, primarily composed of fat. 12. Ghee: Virtually free of casein, as the protein is removed during clarification.

Part 3 So if one person has a problem with dairy, whether medical or choice, respect their choice and likewise, if a person has no problem with it, let them enjoy it. Just remember one complicating factor. Modern farming practices are not the same as a 100 years ago. So if you are a farmer that is doing his best to follow original practices (the organic style) ypur milk will be of a far better quality an lower risk of causing cancer. A secret that has been shutdown in the industry is the risk of aflotoxin M1. I know about it because as an engineer I had engineering, scientific and industrial research reports crossing my desk and this one caught my attention. In addition, the virus that causes leukaemia is predominantly passed on to humans through dairy. It is another well kept secret discovered in the 1960's and kept from the public eye. And lastly, my friend who worked for a major dairy company told me of his experience as maintenance manager. He was asked to throw yoghurt culture into a tanker truck of milk that had come in from farm collections and that was full of puss and blood, not fit for being sold as milk. Needless to say, my friend quit eating shop yoghurt.

I am leaving a comment: was born and raised in very cold place without cows around and real dairy. My mom did not have enough to nurse me. Did not like dairy almost 'till moved to the USA. Like cheese now,, sour cream, cream cheese and so, make my own yogurt. In reality: shouldn't have a lactose enzymes, but don't have any problem with digesting or any other issue after eating dairy. Listening all these "scares" about fat before and dairy now, I am pretty sure that issue for most not a lack of enzymes, but phycological.

I will be about one year into keto/carnivore this month, so quite excited about that. I haven't been into milk since I was about 10 - I often found the cream in it nauseating. I tried it again, over the years, and the closest I came was in a hot cocoa in the winter, or a latte for the long drives. But it's been several years since the latte, and I stopped having hot cocoa in winter when I moved to a ketogenic lifestyle, last year. So my sources of dairy are butter, cheese and yoghurt, and I enjoy them all. Living in South Africa, Dr. Cywes is right... here, I enjoy double-cream yoghurt, Monday - Friday. When I was doing PSMF a few months ago, I was also incorporating low-fat, high-protein yoghurt on my PSMF days, but I've given that up and just gone back to the double-cream yoghurt for all my yoghurt days. My wife also makes a lot of our meals with cream cheese, so that goes down well too.

Stock of knowledge is never wasted, it helps us be more proactive in helping ourselves and our doctors to view what is good and what is bad, when we ask or tell doctors about our experiances in a Keto or carnivore proper way of eating. Here in the UK, the medical world has been listening to us and learning about Keto and how to help deal with our growing obesity problem and diabetes, our National Health Service advocates a low carbohydrate diet. This is a massive move away from, what has been the normal, “It has to be right, what we learned at medical school”, blindly. This can only have come from those of us who have listened and learned about what is normal and that has to be ancestral and biological how we lived without having sugar/carbs every day. Reversing our diabetes, getting fit from loosing overly filled fat cells. Keto and carnivore way of eating, gives us our health back and best of all, its very tasty. A big thank you to all you guys here in the UK that told your doctors, showed them your results of eating the way our ancestors did. You didn’t just help yourselves you helped our future of our country, with a great change in our NHS. Additionally a thank you to those who put their careers on the line, to show us and told us about Keto and Carnivore way of eating, far to many to callout individually here on KZbin.

Oh really? I have been keto low carb since 2015 after doing my own research. I just finished a course on Health&nutrition and the guidelines are still millions of servings of "healthy" carbs a day, plant-based focused and very low carb. Even children above 5 "should" be eating LOW fat and "butter is not necessary"🙄 So where are these guidelines in UK so openly promoted please?! Yes, my 2 GP friends already recommend low carb or keto for patients especially diabetic ones but it's because they've done their own research and look at the new findings in nutrition not because of government/NHS officiall guidelines. I so wish the trend would be as you describe but I think it's just wishful thinking. You can't find literally any low carb food in NHS hospitals and even in shops. More keto/low carb/diabetic foods in supermarkets in Spain or any other European country than in UK. I so wish you were right about the "trend" but I'm afraid we still have a loooong way to go.

Thanks for the info!!! Awesome! It has help, I have been eating to much cheese, and will now be taking a break from it for a few weeks to regulate. Ty.

[@erdemdeniz5839]

I am happy to know you sir. When looking outside it looks you just giving nutritional advices but your advices are much much more than this. Your advices are valuable as meat. Thank you.

Good stuff Doc!

Thanks Doc!!

Fascinating doc! I'm on a ketovore diet now for a few weeks. I feel a bit better now about adding milk to my coffee! Hey, I'd like to hear more about your baby son's progress. Sounds like he's going real well so far!

[@debracoverston5464]

Thank you so much for this information. You have helped me understand so much! I just found your videos so thankful I did.

Great point on insulin suppression! Excellent! It just answered a big question for me! Thank you.

[@Pir8Pete99]

Thank you for your full discussion on dairy today, a subject I have been pondering over for a while now..Pete

[@Nonduality]

"As you go on a ketogenic diet, your ability to tolerate dairy, cheese especially, will improve." I hope so. I think my dairy sensitivity has improved since I haven't been having any noticeable effects when I try it once a week.

[@TheMilford]

It did for me. I was vege for a decade and towards the end I cut out dairy because it was becoming harder for me to process… when I finally started back with meat and eventually keto/carnivore my body now favors dairy.

[@1corinthians-138]

I couldn't have much dairy before keto except yogurt. I always thought I was lactose intolerant, but I think it was the sugar that always made me sick before. I buy the whole milk plain yogurt and can eat any cheese now.

[@thefisherking78]

I do find that I can tolerate a lot of dairy as part of a low-carb diet, despite having an intolerance early in life. Some people definitely don't. It's all about listening to your body and reading its signals, inni

[@JanZigbe]

I still don't tolerate dairy, but it is mainly because of the dairy protein, not lactose as 24 hour yogurt fermentation gets rid of the lactose.

[@Floridiansince94]

Thank you for this!!!

[@laniec.f.2531]

This video really caught my attention towards the end when he did air quotes around the condition called "SIBO". I supposedly have it and am wondering if I just start eating lots of old cheese if it will help. I have been fighting this for so long that it's making me batshit crazy. Does anybody know if he has any videos specific to IBS and SIBO? New to this doc and am thoroughly enjoying his wit... actually making me chuckle. Refreshing, the blunt humor.

[@megbovell5392]

[@birdseyeview6523]

Love your humor.

[@melindawilliams6624]

The reaction I had using heavy cream in my coffee was a runny nose. Almost constant. But I love cream and still use butter. I will give cream another chance. Start slowly and see. Thank you!

[@inthekitchenwithangelalee]

Wow i bet your child is one of the calmest toddler ever! I wish i knew all this for my daughters when they were young.❤

[@davidlee8464]

Thanks, doc! Earlier in my journey cheese was a no-go because I’d start retaining water within minutes of eating it (could feel my ankles and hands swell). Now I’m down almost 170 (from 360) and have a small amount of cheese with most meals. Love it!

[@shellyrubio3207]

Happy for you! I am finally down to 330 from 350... (but plateaued after acheivibg several days of ketosis in a row). I was obese from infancy, reached my ideal weight at age 24 through low carb (took 10 years) had 5 kids and struggling with weight for the last 27! Your example is encouraging! Thank you for your post! Well done!

[@barbsdee3831]

My friends stare at me agog if we meet for breakfast and I eat cheese, bacon, eggs and butter and a small amount of double cream in my coffee, telling me I’m going to have a heart attach, whilst they stuff themselves with high carb cereal, low fat yogurt and low fat spread on their toast!

[@steph6197]

Let them eat cake 🎂 😃

[@Rockabillyviking]

No other grown up mammal drinks milk, including all carnivores. So why would grown up human carnivores need dairy to "trigger" an insulin response? Are you really saying, that the human body can "forget" how to respond to food with insulin? While also saying, that grown up mammals can reteach the body to tolerate dairy.....

[@marybegley9867]

Thank you a thousand times for your clarity. I am really struggling to understand keto versus carnivore and dairy food .

[@sarahheykamp9096]

Such a balanced response. Really appreciating your videos!

[@JJMalvarez]

You did not touch up on the processing of dairy. Thanks for always sharing great information Doc 👍💪Supposedly, pasteurization and homogenization renders commercial milk useless. What's your take on that?

[@sandysherman4584]

Thank you for discussing the issue of Milk in our diets! It really made me think

[@TheCallyjean]

This has been the most interesting and informative video I've seen on diary products etc - Thank you for sharing!!

[@pabloblanco2656]

I agree. No one talks about lactose intolerance despite the statistical fact that approx one third of the entire world is lactose intolerant. Glad someone is talking about something that effects hundreds of millions of people

[@Beefcake1982]

Great video!

[@dougprentice1363]

Id really like to see discussions with you, berry and berg.

[@kihntagious]

Hello Dr Cywes. I'm still in ketosis and haven't had any addictive food. But I'm feeling addicted to cream with stevia or erythritol. It's absolutely comforting.

[@hamletsmill258]

'Absolutely'?

[@cecechanning9975]

I need to try it.

[@thakraken6995]

Might need more omega 3

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

Try to get happy in life. Find the passion in family, or better yet sexual spouse / relationship. During those times of passion, most people not thinking of food. Plus getting excited about something extreme in life as a distraction is very helpful. Skydiving for example. Volunteer work at a hospital or low income area... Just options to stay happy and stay busy.

[@thefisherking78]

@@DrAJ_LatinAmerica IDK, right after some "quality time" I have still had a craving for some fatty treats 😜

[@bonnie8522]

Great information! We are fortunate enough to have the ability to get whole raw milk straight from the farm weekly!

[@tammyc1812]

You're very blessed, I hope this is still the case. I.I'm not sure I could have given up milk for carnivore diet if I had access to raw milk

Amen. Doc and his Wife are amazing people. So blessed to know them here on social media. God is so good!

[@jiriwiesner]

Sour milk is a traditional food in Czechia (where I come from). And it is a good choice on keto. I drink it almost daily.

[@markiangooley]

Of course the bacteria that sour the milk convert some of the sugars into lactic acid, which means less sugar.

[@florangelahinckley8455]

Listening to you I just had a small cup of raw milk yogurt plain, delicious thank you for your advice, we get so many mixed messages 😟

Thanks 👍 Dr Cywes for excellent video about dairy. You're so RT 👍. I'm originally from country with lack of dairy foods. Yes, I didn't eat dairy for more of the time of my life and developed Lactaid 😨. But, finally I realized that kefir is my choice. I'm happy now making kefir myself and enjoyed👍❤️

[@user-xc2mi4uj9p]

I like dairy and meat but often i heard so much bad about the fat it that I hardly knew what to eat. So thanks for your great messages🙏🏽🙏🏻

[@pamelajackson3263]

I will be adding the yogurt I make from whole heavy cream back into our diet. We are trying to build more muscle mass, we are older! My husband loves it! Thank you for sharing information that is interesting and understandable.

[@andrewderksen3342]

My brother is dairy sensitive, then he went to our uncle's dairy farm and drank whole milk for a week - no problem.... The problem is the pasteurizing process Also My Jewish friend told me that he lost the enzyme to digest pork -because it's been so long since he last ate it 👍

[@Viper4ever05]

A Jew eating pork? Damn

[@AC-vz9cz]

So good Dr.Cywes a friend from BC West Coast Canada Cheers ....Ralph I have a few differant size crowbars in my garage 👀

You'd have to pry my dairy from my cold dead hands .... I agree with everything you've said and learned a couple things ... Thanks doc !

[@chrisvautour7119]

Hi Doc. Love your videos…and sense of humour😊 I enjoy dairy in moderation, but I live in an area where we can’t get raw dairy. Is regular pasteurized dairy ok if it’s whole fat? I have been eating a low carb diet and have restricted all sugars except fruit about a month now and am feeling much better. I am not overweight but my inflammation was way out of control so I’m still learning a lot about proper nutrition and metabolic health. If you have any other suggestions I would appreciate it!

[@heathercsehi3915]

I find that if I don't eat cheese I don't have a bowel movement. I am trying to get back to being carnivore, I am having a relapse; but feel encouraged when I listen to you. Thank you Dr. Cywes.

[@dianavp9054]

See how different our bodies are? If I do eat cheese, I won't poop for a week. It's like cement in my pipes! And the cramping! It's been like that for 65 years, no matter how I may try to introduce it. Cheese hates me.

[@ariakooy2968]

Great video. Need some advice.. My 5 year old has been struggling with constipation and stomach pain for months, and it resolves after cutting out cheese, cream and milk. Is it possible that the stomach pain is gas pain from the dairy..?

[@ronnie8991]

great video

[@benjaminsander7721]

Thank you very much for your help 🙏🏻 I really feel encouraged to continue to make my own kefir and consume other milk products. I have just started the carnivore diet (ok animal based with fruits in my kefir in the mornings) but otherwise only meat, eggs, butter and other dairy products throughout the day. How about my energy level, I’m 1,79m tall, weigh around 69kg at 45 years of age. I use my bicycle to get to work (30min. one way). I’ve have just quit my vegan-vegetarian way of eating. My ATP level felt low quite often. Now though, I have much longer „downs“ of ATP when riding my bicycle. How come? Is that due to my body adapting to this new diet? Perhaps a oxalate dump? I didn’t start this low carb diet to loose weight, I started to be strengthened since I lost my physical strength quiet rapidly lately 😢 Would love to hear your thoughts on this. I don’t have any issues with high blood pressure or insulin resistance. Maybe I’m just not spiking my insulin as often as when on the vegetarian diet? Thank you so much. Benjamin

[@Damnthematrix]

Coming from a French background, you should understand why I can't do without dairy... I even make my own cheese when our goats are in milk. Before going keto almost ten months ago now, I'm pretty sure that I was either lactose intolerant, or after listening to you, casein intolerant. I suffered from an unexplained cough and I would go all phlegmy after a cup of hot chocolate, yes complete with sugar! All gone now, completely. I still eat cheese and I make my own cremaccino. ½ cup of pure cream and a double shot of espresso.. I drink this just once a day, can't live without it. It's my morning energy drink and it doesn't even kick me out of ketosis because it's 42% fat.

[@inthekitchenwithangelalee]

❤Thank you! Dairy has always been my craving❤

[@pamelaschafer9577]

I love this so much!

[@susantroupe9341]

I’m glad to hear that dairy is good on a keto diet. It keeps me sane and since I don’t want to lose anymore wt., ( I average between 120-125 after starting keto a yr ago, and losing 10 lbs) if the scale starts tipping too low I eat sour cream to gain again. As a prediabetic with highest A1c at 6.3, and now 5.7, I’m wondering if I need to start metforman as I can’t seem to get my glucoses below mid 90s though it is most often between low 100s to 120, but will go up to 140 if I eat too much too late in the day. My eating window is 6 hrs during the day, the rest is fasting except for bullet proof coffee at 8am. I have a Contour meter and typically test several times a day. I know the peak numbers are ok, but I’ve read that damage occurs at levels >100,

[@michelesteward5170]

I think you're still healing. Just keep at it
