Summary: Why and how to reduce its consumption of dairy products?

In this radio chronicle, Lynn Goneau, naturopath of La Boite à Grains, Tops with Frédéric Bisson on the reasons for reducing the consumption of dairy products to improve health. She explains that lactose intolerance, which affects 75% of the world's population, is due to a lack of lactase, the enzyme necessary for lactose digestion.

Dairy products can contain chemical compounds causing migraines and synthetic growth hormones that can unbalance the hormonal system, especially in women. In addition, saturated fatty acids present in dairy products increase the risks of high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and chronic inflammation.

Lynn Goneau offers alternatives to calcium from vegetables, dried fruits and sardines, and suggests vegetable substitutes for dairy products such as nuts, soy and coconut yogurts, and cheeses made from cashew nuts, in specifically mentioning the products of the Veneture brand.

Introduction and lactose intolerance

Lynn Goneau explains that lactose intolerance, which affects 75% of the world's population, is caused by a lack of lactase, the enzyme necessary for the digestion of lactose, and evokes the difficulties that this generates for many people.

Chemical compounds and hormones in dairy products

Dairy products can contain chemical compounds that cause migraines in some people and synthetic growth hormones, used in certain dairy farms, which can cause hormonal imbalances in consumers.

Effects of dairy products on cholesterol and fat

The saturated fatty acids present in dairy products contribute to high levels of cholesterol, thus increasing the risks of cardiovascular disease and chronic inflammation.

Inflammation and digestive problems linked to dairy products

Consumption of dairy products can cause excessive mucus production, congestion of throat and sinuses, and cause digestive problems such as bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation.

Non -dairy alternatives for calcium

Lynn Goneau offers alternative calcium sources such as Chinese cabbage, fruits, vegetables, dried fruits, sardines with edges and tahini, demonstrating that it is possible to obtain calcium without consuming dairy products.

Plant substitutes for dairy products

Nuts (almond, cashew, hazelnut), soy and coconut yogurts, as well as vegetable cheeses based on cashew nuts are presented as excellent alternatives to traditional dairy products.

Star product: VegNature

Transcription

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (00:19):

Today with Lynn Goneau for her last chronicle of the season, we are going to wonder how and why we should reduce the consumption of dairy products and do it for health reasons, because for some people, others are not . Hello Lynn.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (00:36):

Hello Frédéric.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (00:36):

Well, there are people who will suffer from different problems. There is some for whom it is mucus. Others are lactose intolerance in general. Tell us about it first. What is lactose intolerance?

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (00:48):

In fact, it's relatively simple. Fred, lactose intolerance is the difficulty of digesting sugar. So we call lactose, found in milk and other dairy products such as cheeses, creams and all that. You knew that 75% of the world's population has difficulty digesting dairy products.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (01:09):

I had already heard that it touched a lot of people, but it is the majority.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (01:13):

Exact. This is probably due to the fact that many people lack lactase. This is the famous enzyme that we need to digest lactose. We are the only species on earth that continues to drink milk.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (01:33):

And we drink milk from another species, that is to say, we drink cow's milk, goat and all that. It is very special that we do that, then give us reasons. There are five large ones that you identified to reduce consumption.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (01:43):

To say that there are many more than five, but I have bet on these five because often people do not know, but cheese contains a chemical compound that can cause migraines in some people. And also the hormonal question, because we agree that certain dairy farms use synthetic growth hormones to increase milk production. So, when you are a human who drinks, the milk absorbs hormones that could precisely contribute a large imbalance, especially for women at the hormonal level.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (02:22):

There are also effects on cholesterol and fat.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (02:25):

Yes, indeed, because of saturated fatty acids, that is sure that there is also as much for cholesterol, cardiovascular diseases as chronic inflammation. We don't think about it sometimes.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (02:37):

That, I often hear that milk in some people cause inflammation. And that, because there is salt also in cheese.

And the last one is mucus.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (02:50):

Me, a lot, me at home, it is certain that if I take a cheese, I will feel mucus for a long time. After that it comes all congestion at the level of the throat, then at the level of the sinuses, made that me, it is a must for me. There are others that it is the bloating of abdominal pain, the diarrhea of ​​constipation, everything that affects the digestive system.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (03:09):

It's a shame because in taste, cheese I think it's not bad. One of the most extraordinary things in the world.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (03:16):

Obviously, when I talk to people to cut it, they look at me and they are not sure.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (03:23):

We will answer that it is difficult to cut dairy products because it is our calcium need that is filled by that.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (03:30):

Often people are affected by that. And I tell them a lot of alternatives to calcium, those that are not even thinking as Chinese cabbage contains more calcium than fresh milk.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (03:42):

And besides, when you go to Korea, there, they have no field for the cows. It's just rice. So they will look for their calcium in Chinese cabbage, Kimchi.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (03:50):

Indeed, then calcium can be brought by fruits, vegetables, dried fruits, especially sardines with the edges, that has incredible benefits. Then my favorite, the Tahini, we talked about it last week.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (04:08):

Well, there are also lots of vegetarian alternatives and without dairy products, you can get that you can decide to eat.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (04:15):

So we don't need to do without the taste of cheese because yes or others can, you can replace tone of cow with a nut milk, either almonds, cashews or oat milk or quinoa or rice . Basically, there is a whole panoply. Then me, my favorite is the one with hazelnuts.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (04:35):

Ok, but it's a little more expensive for example.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (04:37):

Ah, but I see it.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (04:40):

It is true that for the yogurts also me, I, I have long ate soy yogurt. It is a beautiful alternative.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (04:47):

Soy, oat, coconut. This is all varieties too. You can even use food yeast in your recipes to really imitate the cheese taste, because that tastes like cheese.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (05:05):

Try a few weeks without consuming me. I often invoke a three to four weeks, then you see the difference right away.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (05:16):

There is a star product this week. Besides. You brought it lynn. I haven't tasted yet, but I can't wait to see. It is a log of the company's cheese. How do you say?

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (05:26):

VegNature.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM (05:26):

VegNature.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains (05:27):

He has more a texture of goat cheese. The log is perfect for a wine and cheese or something like that, it arises well. It is based on cashews. It can be spread, cooked or heated. Ah yes it is prepared with really natural ingredients, without conservation agent. What I like is that the list of ingredients is very short. There are several flavors. Obviously, I bring that of nuts and cranberries and I brought you another also with chives and pepper so that you can taste it.
