Growing up we heard it a million times: "Milk does a body good!" We would see advertisements with our favourite movie stars or athletes sporting a milk moustache with that logo. We believed it. How could we not? But even way back then, scientists and researchers were working in the background and their work pointed toward something very different.

In this episode we look at when we started to drink cow's milk, why it happened, what it does to your body and why we were fed the line "Milk does a body good" for so long. In the episode, I also chatted about a couple of non-dairy options that I love and use in our home. Here are the links for you to those:

• Earth Island Cheeses (we love their provolone, mozzarella and parmesan) Vegenaise (the pesto flavour is my fav, but I plan on picking up their chipotle the next time I am out shopping)
• Earth Balance Butter (I use this for everything. We buy the big tub and it lasts us a good 3 months for all of our cooking and baking needs)
