Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 , my comment on " dairy " is that all dairy products have vastly different properties, so it's very important to distinguish the subject component without lumping all dairy-based foods together with one name. I think if you sweeten your egg nog with stevia or xylitol you should be OK. Further on the differences between " dairy " components, Undenatured whey is very clean so most people don't react to it, it's non-mucous-forming, it has the highest biological value of any protein on the planet, it's a glutathione precursor, and it contains no problematic (for some) caseins or lactose. It's one of the ideal proteins for any mammal and I would thicken my egg nog with it any day. Cheese is mostly casein and fats; bovine casein is hard for about half the humans to digest. Butter is an almost ideal fat sources for humans; it contains only traces of casein and this can be purified out at home. Cream contains a good whack of good fats too but also a fair bit of casein and lactose. Eggs are obviously NOT dairy; they are easy to digest and good for you. Cooked cow's milk is mucous forming for a lot of people, but even so, the benefit outweighs the downside for most of them. Then we get to goat dairy products, sheep dairy products etc; all have different profiles and properties. Duncan and > > Duncan ( & /or others) > What is your opinion on dairy?
