Do We need Milk?
I have an issue with Cow’s milk…. an intolerance that is.

Did you know that it is estimated that up to 75% of the world’s population shows an intolerance to lactose.
I honestly didn’t know that I was lactose intolerance until I started getting treatment from a naturopath.
We are born with the right digestive enzymes (lactase) to breakdown lactose from breastmilk. As we grow older, our body knows that we shouldn’t be drinking breastmilk anymore and stops making the enzymes to break down lactose.
