5. Dairy Products
As much as 60% of the world’s population cannot digest milk. In fact, many researchers think that being able to digest milk beyond infancy is abnormal, rather than the other way round. Milk is also a common allergen that can trigger inflammatory responses, such as stomach distress, constipation, diarrhea, skin rashes, acne, hives and breathing difficulties in susceptible people.
Plus, hormones, pesticides, and antibiotics fed to cattle make their way into milk too, compounding the problem.
Find them in: Apart from obvious milk products like butter and cheese, foods with hidden dairy content include breads, cookies, crackers, cakes, cream sauces, protein powder, and boxed cereals. Milk is an allergen, so it usually explicitly appears on food labels.
Substitute: Replace milk with coconut milk or homemade nut milk. Use coconut oil instead of butter and cashews instead of cheese.
