Who really can't drink milk
People deliberately reject dairy products in favor of plant-based ones, even if they love them, just because of fashion. And this is wrong!
When is it better to limit or not consume dairy products at all
Lactose intolerance. And not just "I think so", but confirmed by genetic analysis. Genotype T/T, S/T - norm, genotype S/S - lactase deficiency. After making a diagnosis, we exclude dairy products and monitor your health, then you can gradually introduce small amounts of fermented milk products.
Allergy to cow's milk proteins. We determine the level of specific IgE class antibodies. Here you need to exclude all dairy products from cow's milk.
Children under one year old. They should not be given either cow's or goat's milk due to enzyme deficiency. Here I want to mention that I was fed goat's milk as a child, but today this tactic is not recommended.
Individual sensations (pain) in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Quite often, dairy products, especially acidic ones, can cause pain in gastritis, for example. Keep a food diary and note your reactions. If it's bad, exclude it.
Personal choice. If you decide that you don't like milk, that it gives you acne/bloating/heartburn, etc., try to reduce the amount first and then exclude it. And don't forget to consult your doctor about where to get calcium.
When you don't need to exclude dairy products
If you love them and feel comfortable.
For insulin resistance/diabetes.
For hypothyroidism, autoimmune/detox Protocol, and other fictional nutrition systems.
To lose weight.
