EP.12 - Dairy Decoded: Benefits, Allergies And Beyond

This week, we embark on a dairy journey, delving into the realms of milk, cheese, and yoghurt. I'll be looking at the historical consumption of dairy by our ancestors and the current global consumption trends. Delving into the nutritional nutritional richness of milk, highlighting its protein content and various essential nutrients, such as calcium, phosphorus, vitamins D, A, B12, and more. I'll be emphasising the versatility of milk and its role in making different dairy products like yoghurt and cheese. I'll be exploring the diversity of cheeses worldwide, celebrating the flavours and textures. I'll also be discussing the breeding of aurochs into the docile, grass-chomping cows that form the backbone of our dairy industry today. I'll confront the elephant in the room—the challenges faced by those who can't handle dairy. Lactose intolerance and milk allergy are no joke. Dairy isn't just a staple of nourishment; it's a cultural celebration; it serves as a reminder that, despite our differences, our shared love for food unites us.

Every week, we're jumping headfirst into the insanity of healthy eating, fad diets, and fitness mumbo jumbo. I'm here to cut through the crap, no sugarcoating, maybe a bit of oversharing, and unfortunately the odd bad pun.
