She didn't believe in cow's milk either for babies at a young age, and I'm glad she didn't.. I think I will do the same with my little ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-66269434210235361792010-10-20T04:22:49.723-04:002010-10-20T04:22:49.723-04:00I limit my daughters dairy intake.

In addition to the hormonal impacts, it also denatured the hemoglobin in your blood, causing difficulties in transporting oxygen (this is true of all legumes, not just soy). There is an enzyme in blood, called G6PD, that reverses this process, but it is good to limit quantities. Legumes are also inflammatory.<br /><brAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-35077431783990606992010-06-12T21:27:08.404-04:002010-06-12T21:27:08.404-04:00What about raw milk from Henry's? is this trul...What about raw milk from Henry's? is this truly "raw"?

Unfortunately, very few have access to raw milk. We are much better off avoiding milk unless it is raw.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304188988165235918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-54331688018507550662010-06-06T15:52:02.699-04:002010-06-06T15:52:02.699-04:00To those talking about their non-dairy drinks and ...To those talking about their non-dairy drinks and ice cream... just please be careful about soy!
