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!

@biolayne I would still like to hear your thoughts on glyphosate. Are pesticides or pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables something we should be concerned about? Or is glyphosate just another boogeyman?

[@vintage910]

Yes I would love to know this too! I've heard tons of stuff about GMOs, non-organic foods, and the chemicals and growth hormones being bad for you. I've tried to stay away from them but I don't know if any of the information I've worked off of is actually 'true' or not. It sounded good, but I can't be sure.

[@I_sell_cocaine_and_cocaine_acc]

Ive heard from unrelated sources that its chemical structure would give no indication that it either exerts an incredibly toxic effect or stays in the body for any long period of time such as actual toxic and severely detrimental chemicals that are known. In the end its not completely, but probably relatively benign compared to the big scare it causes, but still, i wouldnt drink a cup full of it

[@Bankai90]

I actually feel so good after milk. And I feel like shite after plant milks(the clean ones) Ppl blame often skin issues from milk yet I've no pimple unless I drink like 5protein shakes in a day or eat 300gr of chocolate or some rly unhealthy stuff. Otherwise baby clear. It's like milk is actually calming my gut and stabilizing my mood.

"Whats your stack, bro?" "Milk and cheese bro!"

[@Magic_beans_]

That’s one thing I’ve noticed about pro bodybuilders’ Full Day of Eating videos. Aside from whey protein they’re nearly dairy-free. My guess based on stuff like the Vertical Diet is that their “supplements” require them to stick to things that are really easy to digest.

[@JoshBenware]

[@tommyortiz6623]

There is a difference between pasteurized and unpasteurized milk. Unpasteurized is a small risk but high reward. You get enzymes, beneficial bacteria, vitamins, electrolytes; pretty much everything your body needs. The small risk is contamination.

[@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.

[@shawncollins1025]

All quality points. My question is why do alot of countries ban Glyphosate? That would be a great opportunity to compare data with countries that use it vs not. Just a thought.

[@davorzdralo8000]

Say or think about dairy what you like. I loved milk and yoghurt, but after I stopped consuming dairy a few years ago, my horrible out of control hay fever was completely vanished for the first time in 33 years of my time on earth. My allergies for animals were also significantly reduced and I have friends who got rid of their allergies completely as well. When they stopped consuming dairy. So no, I don’t think that people should generally consume dairy

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

When working in the mountains with indigenous tribes in Mexico and South America we drink cows milk, goats milk and sometimes female breast milk directly from the source as there is no electricity and no refrigerators. Yes, milk it does the body good.

[@edkruzel]

In the US it is very difficult to get raw milk. Once pasteurized, milk must be refrigerated.

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

@@edkruzel understand. All depends on where you live. When I was in Michigan, it was easy, in Iowa, Indiana, and Ohio it was easy to setup a deal with a local farmer. Take your own bucket, collect the milk yourself don't expect the farmer to help or be involved. To avoid legal issues, they sell you time to visit the cow or goat, not "selling" the Milk : ) some farmer with sell you the cow or goat and sell you the service to take care of the animal, but it is your animal. Many options.

Type 1 or 2? Big difference.

I don't know. Some say cows milk is for cows. The cow baby drinks it for a limited time not all their lives. I nursed 4 of my children. So, a good question. I lived on a small farm for 2 years back in the early 1970's and we had cows. We got fresh milk and butter daily. I was healthy and had good bone density when I went to the doctor. But I ate a variety of foods in moderation. Thanks for the video.

[@Di4B7O]

Everyone loves to hear the information that illines with there beliefs regardless of what's objectively true 👍 😀

[@justinw1765]

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.

[@blainebowling3303]

For the algorithm, I must confess, there’s this one Doc on the KZbins that scared me into switching from whole dairy to low fat due to the saturated fat content… O’ wait! That was you!!! With that said I think I’ll go mix a scoop or two of OutWork whey protein in some low fat kefir and call it a day.

[@SM_RD]

For those of us who like to avoid excess saturated fat due to hypercholesterolemia I would highly recommend fat free Fairlife milk. Tastes awesome and has higher protein content as well. Kefir is cool too if you enjoy it. Although idk if it would fill the void left behind from milk for me personally

[@jaghad]

Why would you do a switch from whole milk to low fat? Makes absolutely zero sense. Instead stop with the scoops and eat real food.

[@tyv1383]

@@jaghad so much easier to just drink about 1-1.5k calories if you are not much of an eater that’s bulking. It’s the only way I can really make my calories lol

This information has been common knowledge for the last 25 years. Saturated fats arent good for your cardiovascular health.

[@77dris]

"There is no increase risk up to 200g per day". That's honestly not very much, only 3/4 cup. What happens if you have more than that?

[@benjamindover2601]

You have to look at your diet as a whole, you can't just take one food group and make sweeping statements. People who eat animals products are more likely to smoke, drink etc. If you eat a balanced diet from all food groups you're not gonna get any negative affects from your diet, in my opinion.

I'm very curious why animal foods will taste so different depending on the animal's diet.

In principle I would not think this should happen.

[@corneliusthecrowtamer1937]

Gallon of Milk A Day (GOMAD) protocol is for extremely underweight young men who are actively training and trying to put on a lot of strength and muscular bodyweight and are currently an emaciated beanstalk full of hormones, and even then it's only mean to be done for a short period of time - maybe a couple weeks if that. It should be done in combination with heavy strength training, Pressing, Squatting, Deadlifting, when the person is a newb and is adding weight to the bar quickly during the initial linear progression. It should only be done to close the gap when someone is pitifully underweight but ready to grow FAST. Otherwise just eat food and you'll grow fine. Don't get into the "you can never eat too much" mindset trying to get jacked. Getting really fat is unnecessary and it can creep up on you quickly.

Notes: According to data having some milk/dairy daily is not bad in anyway, but has been shown in some studies to correlate with denser bones.
