Dairy foods provide a unique mix of nutrients including calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus and protein that contribute to maximizing bone density and slowing age-related bone loss.

Dairy foods are among the top contributors of calcium, potassium and magnesium, nutrients that have been shown to help reduce blood pressure.

However, here is what the ads didn’t tell you: Only three small published studies have found greater weight loss in people who were told to cut calories and eat dairy foods, and all were done by one researcher with a patent on the claim.

Dairy foods have many health benefits such as helping to build and maintain strong bones, control blood pressure and maintain a healthy weight. Dairy foods also have been shown to help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, osteoporosis and obesity.

Lactose intolerance does not mean dairy intolerance. In fact, research shows that most people who are lactose intolerant can enjoy up to two cups of milk a day, particularly if they drink it with meals. Other tips for reducing symptoms include eating aged cheeses that are naturally low in lactose and drinking lactose-free milk.

Highly unlikely. A chiropractic adjustment is special. It has the right amount of energy, delivered to the exact spot, at a precise angle, at the right time. The idea is to get a "stuck" spinal joint moving again, helping to reduce nerve interference. Years of training, practice and experience makes chiropractic adjustments specific and safe.

By removing milk and dairy products from your diet, it will be difficult for you to meet your body's daily calcium requirements.

This is an area I examined very closely before I ventured into beginning a dog food company. It was alarming how many veterinarians, nutritionists and studies indicate that it can be very risky business to take the SCIENCE of nutrition into your own hands.

A fast-growing concept in pet nutrition is that of feeding raw food diets, also referred to as BARF (Bones and Raw Food) diets.
