WEAPONIZED MILK

Could comfort foods be subtly altering your mindset?

Gluten and dairy, like bread and milk, harbor gliadomorphine and caseomorphine—compounds with narcotic-like effects. Ever wonder why milk and cookies soothe? They're akin to gentle opioids.

Consider this: milk's calcium benefits might deceive. Cow's milk uses its calcium to neutralize acidic waste, leaving less for you. Interestingly, nations with high dairy intake often report increased osteoporosis rates.

So where do you get calcium? Seek out whole salt and dark leafy greens such as collards. Figs and sesame seeds are calcium titans! Avoid refined sugars and caffeine, which erode calcium.

And yogurt? "Natural flavors" may lack real fruit, thus probiotics. Opt for whole-fat Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries and monk fruit—a nutritious delight!
