🧀Here the primary drivers behind our recommendations for clients limit or eliminate cheese plus processed dairy:
☠️Preservatives and Additives**: Processed cheeses can contain artificial preservatives, flavor enhancers, and colorings. These additives can have various adverse health effects, including allergic reactions and potential carcinogenic risks.
⚖️Caloric Density**: Cheese is calorie-dense, meaning it has a high number of calories in a small volume. This can contribute to weight gain and obesity if consumed in large amounts without adequate physical activity.
🐄Lactose Intolerance**: Many individuals are lactose intolerant, meaning they lack the enzyme lactase necessary to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk and cheese. Consumption can lead to digestive issues like bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
🤦♀️Cheese and dairy products contain hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which can disrupt the human endocrine system. These exogenous hormones can potentially elevate levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a hormone linked to increased cancer risk. Dairy consumption may also exacerbate hormone-sensitive conditions, such as acne and breast cancer, due to its effect on androgen and estrogen levels. Moreover, the presence of added hormones from dairy cows can further contribute to hormonal imbalances in humans, leading to reproductive health issues and other endocrine disorders.
🏴☠️Potential Contaminants**: During processing, cheese can be contaminated with harmful bacteria like Listeria or pathogens from the production environment, posing food safety risks.
🦄 I’m gonna male this really simple. The most addictive substances on the planet lie within our foods. The most addictive foods on the planet are processed. Processed foods equal cancer, disease, and obesity.
