OK, no fights allowed on this thread....just informational, something to think about. I went to a lecture on digestive troubles about 3 years ago, one of many in my search for help with increasing food allergies and non-stop and severe digestive trouble that was leading me towards becoming mostly home-bound. Several doctors, no help.
This doc who gave the lecture was a naturopath (been there, done that, hoping for a different perspective) and she introduced me to the concept of real milk and real food. Well, not really introduced, just gave me a bigger shove in that direction.
It did take me all that time to get to where I am now, sitting here drinking hot chocolate made from raw milk that I just milked from my goat. And I won't be crippled by the abdominal pain and stuck in the bathroom for a day or so. I will be just fine and dandy, thank-you-very-much.
It was all the powdered milk in the yogurt recipes that got me to start this thread. You do not need to add powdered milk to your yogurt. Start it with Greek yogurt and it will be nice and thick. Leave it an extra hour or two, that might help, too. And it will continue to thicken in the fridge.
Here is a quote from www.realmilk.com : "Powdered skim milk is added to the most popular varieties of commercial milk one-percent and two-percent milk. Commercial dehydration methods oxidize cholesterol in powdered milk, rendering it harmful to the arteries. High temperature drying also creates large quantities of nitrate compounds, which are potent carcinogens."
Children in 2nd grade are showing up with markers of heart disease in alarming numbers. There is a move (big pharma, again) to get young children onto cholesterol lowering drugs. Where is the move towards educating parents as to all the things that harm the kids in the first place?
Since being ss involves being healthy, I thought I'd share some of what I've learned.
So don't feel criticized. I, too, gobbled down white flour and white sugar and soda and all that stuff for decades, until severe health issues forced me (well, not really, I coulda gone with meds) to take control and get educated. It is a journey, not a destination.
