The Truth About Dairy Proteins & Calcium Cooking with The Microbiome Expert
In this episode of Cooking with The Microbiome Expert, I tackle one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding dairy—its supposed benefits for calcium intake. Many people ask, "Where will I get my calcium if I stop eating dairy?" The answer lies in nutrient-rich greens like Swiss chard, celery, and other vegetables that provide calcium without the drawbacks of dairy proteins.
I also break down the delicate balance of sulfur and calcium in the body, explaining why dairy—though high in calcium—is also extremely high in sulfur-containing amino acids. This forces your body to pull calcium from your bones to neutralize pH levels, resulting in greater calcium loss than gain.
What You'll Learn:
- Why dairy may not be the best source of calcium despite common beliefs.
- How sulfur-containing amino acids in dairy affect calcium balance.
- Alternative calcium sources that support gut health and bone strength.
- The connection between dairy consumption and osteoporosis risks.
If you want to truly optimize your nutrition and microbiome health, understanding the effects of dairy proteins is key. Join me for this important discussion!
