100: Which is the BEST milk to drink? Fu...

Lyndi Cohen
About this episode

Milk and milk alternatives are one of those food products that are surrounded by myths and false health claims. Is milk healthy? Does it make you bloated? Should you be choosing a plant-based alternative?

I’m answering all your questions about milk, and diving into the research around which is the best option for you and your body. 

We cover:

  • The benefits of milk for your gut health, digestion, immune function, mood and more
  • Why I think milk is an important part of your diet, and the many nutrients it contains
  • What sets a2 Milk® apart from other milk products
  • The difference between whole milk, reduced fat, light and skim milks, and which is actually the healthiest
  • Why we need milk at different stages of life for optimal health
  • Whether lactose-free and long-life milk are healthy
  • How to avoid gut discomfort after drinking milk
  • Whether plant-based milk alternatives are healthier options, and how to choose the best products for your health needs.

This episode provides you with all the facts and information you need to find the milk that’s right for you.

* This podcast is proudly sponsored by a2 Milk®. I genuinely stand by and use a2 Milk® products, thanks to the science behind their products and my own experience of a2 Milk® resolving any digestive discomfort I’ve noticed with other milks. I’m not pushing any products, I’m just sharing the facts and information so you can make your own choices when it comes to the right milk for your needs.
