| "An estimated 65% of human adults (and most adult mammals) downregulate [decrease] the production of intestinal lactase after weaning. Lactase is necessary for the digestion of lactose, the main carbohydrate in milk, and without it, milk consumption can lead to bloating, flatulence, cramps and nausea. Continued production of lactase throughout adult life (lactase persistence, LP) is a genetically determined trait and is found at moderate to high frequencies in Europeans and some African, Middle Eastern and Southern Asian populations."

Does Drinking Milk Contribute to Heart Disease?
PRO (yes)
Margaret Moss, MA, Director of the Nutrition & Allergy Clinic in Manchester, UK, in her study "Does Milk Cause Coronary Heart Disease?" published in the Journal of Nutritional & Environmental Medicineon Sep. 1, 2002, wrote:
"Several studies have been published showing a high positive correlation between milk consumption in different countries and rates of death a few years later from CHD [Coronary Heart Disease]. One investigation showed that countries which reduced milk consumption later had reduced rates of CHD death, while the only country studied which increased its milk consumption [Portugal] had an increased rate of CHD death."

William B. Grant, PhD, senior research scientist at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), wrote in his article "Milk and Other Dietary Influences on Coronary Heart Disease," published in 1998 in the Alternative Medicine Review:
"The statistical results of the present study confirm the finding...that the non-fat components of milk are important in the etiology [cause or origin] of heart disease for both males and females... Given the strong statistical link between milk carbohydrates, non-fat milk and heart disease in this study...much more attention should be given to the study of the link between dietary bovine milk and heart disease."

Boyd Swinburn, MD, Chair in Population Health in the School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences at Deakin University, in a report commissioned by the New Zealand Food Safety Authority, titled "Beta Casein A1 and A2 in Milk and Human Health," and completed July 13, 2004, concluded:
"About 25-30% of the protein in cows' milk is beta casein... One of the forms is called A1 beta casein and it has been suggested that it might cause or aggravate one type 1 diabetes, heart disease, schizophrenia, and autism.
The strongest evidence is for type 1 diabetes and heart disease. The main study supporting a relationship with the type of milk consumed was a comparison of 20 countries. Those countries with the highest consumption of A1 beta casein had the highest rates of type 1 diabetes and heart disease."

Joseph Mercola, DO, osteopath and author, in an undated article on his website titled "Don't Drink Your Milk!" (accessed Sep. 17, 2007), wrote:
"There is also a problem with a protein enzyme called xanthine oxidase which is in cow's milk. Normally, proteins are broken down once you digest them.
However, when milk is homogenized, small fat globules surround the xanthine oxidase and it is absorbed intact into your blood stream. There is some very compelling research demonstrating clear associations with this absorbed enzyme and increased risks of heart disease."

Stephen Seely, MD, cardiologist and researcher, wrote in his 1991 article "Is Calcium Excess in Western Diet a Major Cause of Arterial Disease?" published in the International Journal of Cardiology:
"The general observation can be made that, in countries where the daily calcium intake is 200-400 mg, arterial diseases are non-existent. Blood pressure does not increase with age. In countries where the daily intake is 800 mg, arterial disease is the leading cause of mortality. A more specific indicator is the strong positive correlation between consumption of milk and mortality from coronary arterial disease."

Peter Elwood, MD, Professor of Epidemiology at Cardiff University, et al., in their study "Milk Drinking, Ischaemic Heart Disease and Ischaemic Stroke II. Evidence from Cohort Studies," published May 2004 in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, concluded:
"Cohort studies provide no convincing evidence that milk is harmful. While there still could be residual confounding from unidentified factors, the studies, taken together, suggest that milk drinking may be associated with a small but worthwhile reduction in heart disease and stroke risk."
May 2004 - Peter Elwood, MD
The UC Berkeley School of Public Health published an article in its monthly Wellness Letter titled "Udder Confusion," (accessed Sep. 13, 2007), stating:
"Claim: Dairy products increase the risk of heart disease.
Facts: If you consume lots of whole milk and cheese, you're likely to raise your blood cholesterol levels. That's true, however, of any foods rich in saturated fat and cholesterol. Milk's opponents talk as if all milk is still whole milk. But more and more dairy products these days are nonfat or low-fat, and thus do not raise cholesterol levels significantly. In fact, there's some evidence that certain substances in milk may help lower cholesterol somewhat...
Milk opponents often quote a paper in Alternative Medicine Review [1998 study by William Grant] that indicted milk, even nonfat milk, as a cause of heart disease. But that article was simplistic and misleading. It found an association between milk consumption and heart disease in population studies from 32 countries, but the data did not allow the researcher to take into consideration many of the other factors that can affect the risk of heart disease."

"Our data found that dairy consumption is inversely associated with prevalent HTN [hypertension] and resting SBP [systolic blood pressure] mainly among individuals consuming less saturated fat and independent of dietary calcium. These findings lend support to the recommendation of low-fat dairy consumption as a mean to lower blood pressure."

Peter Elwood, MD, Professor of Epidemiology at Cardiff University, et al., in their study "Milk Consumption, Stroke, and Heart Attack Risk: Evidence from the Caerphilly Cohort of Older Men," published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health in 2005, concluded:
"The men with the greater consumption of milk experienced a reduction in the risk of ischaemic [inadequate blood flow] stroke and a possible reduction in ischaemic heart disease risk. Explanations of these results other than a beneficial effect of milk would seem to be unlikely. The present perception of milk as harmful, in increasing cardiovascular risk, should be challenged and every effort should be made to restore it to its rightful place in a healthy diet."

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services published a report titled "Your Guide to a Healthy Heart" in Dec. 2005, stating:
"Certain mineral-rich foods can help keep blood pressure levels healthy... Calcium and magnesium are two other minerals that may help to prevent high blood pressure, as well as improve health in other ways. Low-fat or fat-free milk and milk products are rich sources of calcium."

A1 variety of milk causes high blood pressure
Is your milk A2 variety?
Yes, it is A2 milk, from Indigenous native Indian cows. A2 milk is rich in good cholesterol (rich in Omega-3 fatty acids).
A1 variety of milk from Jersey/Holstein-Freisnan cows contains harmful chemical - ‘casomorphine’ and bad cholesterol which causes high blood pressure, clogs arteries and causes diabetes.

Diabetic for almost 20 years. Since April 2016 Zero Carb and intermittent fasting. Blood glucose normalized in weeks and off meds over a year
My Note: Skipping breakfast may be a good way to control diabetes? Why are glucose levels high in the morning, why do they test glucose levels in the morning?
Few people below mention that they feel better during the day if they skip breakfast.
Insight: In earlier times, in Indian villages, people did not have breakfast? Or did they? People used to have conjee (saldi annam in Telugu)
Even in France, people don't have much for breakfast. They just have a piece of bread.

Skipping breakfast raises blood glucose in Type 2 diabetics. (http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/38/10/1820)
Shared by Raymund Edwards in his group Optimal Ketogenic Living.
Raymund Edwards Sun sets and rises and so does metabolism
circadian clocks are the same whether we eat or fast or eat fat or sugar
when we eat makes a difference because we run on clocks
keto people get jet lag just the same - eating at the wrong time is the same effect on metabolism.
Ken Gordon - I also know some severe Type 2s who have done a masterful job with control, a1cs in the 4s, and basically eat very low carb, high(-ish adequate etc.) protein meals once, maybe twice / day.
Esmée La Fleur If people are experiencing high A1c and high glucose on ZC, this is something to keep in mind and experiment with in my opinion
Todd Garrison Lex Rooker had consistently high A1c. He ate only one meal per day. He was not troubled by the marker, and I don't recall his blood glucose being a problem. He did not have diabetes.
Judy Graham-Taber As far as glucose spikes, someone in another group had a theory. Waking up causes cortisol that spikes insulin, breakfast spikes insulin, and exercise spikes insulin. So he was thinking, wake up, work out, eat breakfast, then the body burns through all that at one time leaving more time for fasting benefits until your next meal. I don't know if anyone tested this but sounds interesting.
Celeste Kelsey "Everyone has a dawn phenomenon. Otherwise they’d be too weak to get breakfast. But in people without diabetes, insulin levels also increase to handle the extra glucose. People with diabetes can’t increase insulin levels that much, so their early morning blood glucose levels can rise dramatically." (https://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/blog/controlling-the-dawn-phenomenon/)
Hanna Achepohl If I eat breakfast I am hungry all day and eat all day which spikes my insulin. If I just eat dinner (one meal a day) I am fine. I have been able to keep my blood sugars in the non diabetic range since 2008 by eating this way except for a few years when I got off track.
John Clary My n=1 experience is that I was type 2 diabetic for almost 20 years, on pills and injections and still had trouble controlling my blood glucose. April 2016 I found ZC and intermittent fasting. Blood glucose normalized in weeks and I've been off meds for over a year. Glucose and A1C now completely normal. Just from cutting out carbs and IF. I don't understand why the ADA continues to advocate a high carb diet for diabetics. It just doesn't make sense.
Ken Gordon It's fascinating to read stories like this from people who are 20 year veterans, my own more limited experience tends to indicate to me that intermittent fasting helps a lot. And periods of more extended fasting (a full day or two) help bring blood sugar down to perfectly normal levels.
Susan Henderson It does not increase mine at all since being ZC.
Susan Henderson Most I believe may need to eat more often and eat to satiety long enough on ZC for their sugars to stop spiking. This has obviously worked for many.
Kim McAughey Kline I get higher readings in the morning too. Usually 110 or so but when I've tested before dinner it's in the 89s. I don't get high postperandial readings and don't get hypoglycemic episodes.
Ken Gordon I suspect that ZC folk getting consistently high readings may simply not be making enough insulin anymore. A Type 1 (or very burned out Type 2) could eat ZC, fast for days etc. and still need to inject insulin or BG would inexorably rise.
Jacki Fraise Skipping breakfast keeps my BG in the normal range. Even if I eat eggs and bacon for breakfast, my BG will go up 20 points. I skip brakfast and don't eat till 11am if not later, my body prefers it.

White Butter – Made from buffalo milk
When we think of Janmashtami we think of butter – the food that Lord Krishna loved so much that he wouldn’t stop short of stealing it. While the diet and weight loss industry has shunned it into oblivion, making it the most feared food for dieters the world over, our ancestors used to use it abundantly in the form of white butter and ghee.
According to a renowned dietician to the stars, white butter and ghee are foods that do immense good for our bodies. Here is a list of benefits the yummy treat has.
According to Rujuta, ‘Rich in anti ageing Vitamin A and enzymes, makhan or white butter enhances not just taste of food but life itself. The food of Gods!’
1. Provides ‘healthy’ calories: Butter as we all know has a high calorie value. However, according to Rujuta, the foods that have high amounts of calories are also those that are much more beneficial to the body. Every 100 grams has about 750 calories. Learn how to track the number of calories you eat here.
2. Helps you lose weight: Yes, we are serious. White butter contains lecithin, a substance that helps in the proper assimilation and metabolism of cholesterol and other fat constituents. This makes you break down and use fats more efficiently, helping you actually lose weight. It also satiates any cravings you might have while you are dieting, therefore helping the weight loss process along. Here is a sample weight loss diet by our expert.
3. Helps treat minor infections: It has potent anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties that make it a great way to boost one’s immune system and treat minor illnesses like an upset tummy or a cold and flu. Rujuta says, ‘Have you wondered why when you are ill, your mother used to give you homemade daal khichdi with a dollop of white butter or ghee? It’s because of it is great antibacterial properties.’
4. Boosts your immune system: Butter is made up of a unique molecular structure of saturated fat. This structure helps it retain a whole load of calcium, phosphorous and vitamin A and D. All these constituents boost one’s immune system. Here are some natural way to boost your immune system.
5. Makes you smarter and sharper: The molecular structure of butter helps it pass through the layers of tissue that are otherwise impermeable, like that of the brain. It helps the transportation of nutrients to the brain and takes away wastes from it making the brain function optimally. Here are some tips and tricks to give your brain some exercise.
6. Makes your skin glow: Butter is packed with the essential mineral selenium, a potent antioxidant along with vitamin E which helps to smoothen out the skin and keeps it healthy and elastic. This gives that healthy glow to one’s skin. Read about home remedies to make your skin glow naturally.
7. Helps fight cancer: It is packed with CLA or conjugated linoleic acid along with short chain and medium chain fatty acids that have anti-cancer properties.
8. Treats a number of ailments: In ayurveda a number of practitioners prescribe the use of white butter as a remedy for ailments such as ear problems, insomnia, bed wetting, sexual weakness, and even for mental illnesses. It is especially advised to mother-to-be during their fourth month of pregnancy since it helps nourish the growing child and eases labour.
9. Lubricates the joints: Due to its structure, it helps in the production of compounds that lubricate joints. It is especially great for people suffering from arthritis since it increases the lubrication between joints helping in reducing the pain associated with the condition. Read more about joint pain here.
10. Helps develop the brain and nervous system in children: Since butter contains Arachidonic Acid (AA) that plays an important role in brain function and the maintenance of healthy cellular structure, it is very good for the proper development of a child’s brain. Apart from that it has a unique highly absorbable form of vitamin D that is essential for the proper functioning of the synapses (portion between two nerves that helps the relay of information to and from the brain). Since children’s brains are still forming giving it the right and most essential nourishment is of utmost importance.
