Dairy products have many nutrients your body needs. They have calcium to help children grow strong bones and to keep adult bones strong and healthy. They also have vitamin D to help your body use calcium, and protein to build muscles and to help organs work properly. Low-fat and nonfat dairy products are as nutritious as whole milk dairy products, but they are lower in fat and calories. Choose low-fat or nonfat milk, cheese, yogurt (frozen or regular), and reduced-fat ice cream.

Dairy cows are made pregnant yearly to ensure they produce adequate milk. In nature the calf would suckle for almost a year but nature, like the calf, is denied by the dairy industry. Some calves may be separated from their dams on the first day of life; others might remain for just a few days. But as the inevitable by-products of relentless milk production each will have to endure one of several possible fates.

Many people are allergic to milk (usually cow's milk) or milk products. Dairy allergies are different from lactose intolerance. A dairy allergy is an extreme sensitivity to the proteins in dairy products, while lactose intolerance is caused by a lack of lactase enzyme, which helps the body digest dairy products. Dairy allergies can range from mild indigestion to anaphylaxis, which is life threatening. All Silk products are dairy-free, lactose-free and casein-free.

In some of Amy's products like Tofu Vegetable Lasagna, we use soy cheeze instead of dairy cheese, for the benefit of our customers who are trying to avoid dairy cheeses. However, Amy's does not label these products as "dairy free" because they contain a small amount of caseinate, a milk/dairy protein which helps the soy cheeze to melt and stretch. Amy's clearly labels the soy cheeze as containing caseinate, a milk derived protein.

First, cows must now produce more and more milk each year to meet demand, requiring the use of hormones in some cases and high-production feed (instead of grazing). Second, once production declines, all female cows are slaughtered for meat; and third, calves are separated from their mothers soon after birth and kept in intensively confined conditions for veal production. Without human intervention calf would suckle for close to a year.

One cup of rice has more or less the same calories as two slices of white bread. However, many people make the mistake of having too big a "cup". Be sure to measure it with a correct measuring tool like those for baking.

Yes, but it will be difficult. Dairy foods are the richest source of calcium and contribute 73% of the calcium in the U.S. food supply. Other foods contain smaller amounts of calcium and may contain components (such as phytates and oxalate) that reduce calcium absorption . For example, a person would need to eat 8 cups of spinach, 2 1/2 cups of broccoli, 7 cups of red beans, or 6 ounces of dry roasted almonds to get the amount of calcium absorbed from an 8 ounce glass of milk.

Yes, GR2eat Bars contain whey protein, caseinate, and lactose. The amount of lactose is so small that it should not be an issue for even the most sensitive lactose intolerant person.

No. I understand some people can be allergic to these items in other ways, but acne is a bacterial infection, not an allergy. However, it is so easy to prepare food dishes with these items and have small, hidden amounts of sugar added. So again, the main food item may not be a problem itself as much as what someone adds to the food during preparation.

In people with lactose intolerance (lactase enzyme deficiency), ingesting lactose can cause severe intestinal distress characterised by bloating, flatulence and abdominal pain. Probiotics may be useful in individuals with lactose mal-digestion and lactase deficiency. During fermentation, lactic acid bacteria from the probiotics produce lactase which hydrolyses the lactose in dairy products to glucose and galactose.

this time, high use of dairy products providing calcium beyond 1,500 mg a day has been linked to a possible increase in prostate cancer.

All other mammals obtain adequate calcium beyond the age of weaning without drinking milk, so we should also be able to. Calcium-rich foods include many dark, leafy green vegetables (kale, collards, bok choy, mustard greens, broccoli), figs, almonds, and tofu made with calcium sulfate. Sugary foods like blackstrap molasses and calcium-fortified orange juice are rich in calcium, but the calcium may not be well retained by the body because of the sugar.
