12. Conventional milk and dairy
The reasons you should stay well away from grain-fed beef are similar for cow’s milk and other conventional dairy products. Cows raised the conventional American way are pumped full of antibiotics, fed on pro-inflammatory grains and loaded with growth hormones in an attempt to increase milk production. These compounds are passed on into milk and other dairy products, and can ensure rapid weight gain in humans, increase in inflammatory conditions like arthritis, development of food allergies, diminished gut health and even cancer. Stick to hormone-free milk, preferably organic and grass-fed.
