“2 Quarts of Milk & a Quart of Orange Juice” The Famous Dietary Recommendation Dr. Ray Peat Mentioned in Numerous Interviews. But what is the reasoning for this recommendation. In this thread we will break down the 7 Key Reasons To Eat Dairy, pulled directly from Dr. Peat’s Article ”Milk in context: allergies, ecology, and some myths”

2. Dairy Protein Are The Highest Quality Proteins “The amino acid composition and nutritional value of leaf protein is similar to milk protein, which is understandable since cows produce milk from the amino acids produced in their rumens by bacteria digesting the leaves the cows have eaten. The bacteria perform the refining processes that Pirie believed could be done technologically, and they also degrade or detoxify the major toxins and allergens.” – Ray Peat • High Protein Efficiency Ratio —> Supports Tissue Growth • High Net Protein Utilization/ High Biologic Value —> Efficiently used by the body • High Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score —> Contains the needed amino acids

1. High Calcium Content to Suppress PTH “The parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an important regulator of calcium metabolism. If dietary calcium isn’t sufficient, causing blood calcium to decrease, the PTH increases, and removes calcium from bones to maintain a normal amount in the blood. PTH has many other effects, contributing to inflammation, calcification of soft tissues, and decreased respiratory energy production.” – Ray Peat High Levels Of Parathyroid Hormone Are Associated With: • Cardiovascular Disease • Vascular Calcification • Chronic Kidney Disease • High Blood Pressure • Decreased Bone Mass • Etc Corroborating Dr. Peat’s Work — The Calcium in Dairy Lowers PTH In a Dose Dependent Manner • 250 to 1g of Calcium lead to 14 to 24pg/ml drop in PTH

6 Ways To Improve Lactose Intolerance 1. Progressively Increase Lactose Intake Over Time “Research on lactose digestion indeed suggests that LI could be improved or even reversed by personalized dietary interventions that modulate the gut microbiota, such as progressive and regular consumption of lactose [111,112] or the ingestion of selected pre- and probiotics based on gut microbiota signatures [20].” 2. Shift The Colonic Microbiome • Adequate tolerable fermentable fibers • Lactase producing probiotic bacteria (bifidobacterium animalis and certain lactobacillus species) 3. Correct Underlying Intestinal Dysfunction • IBD • SIBO • Gastroenteritis • Celiac Disease • Small Intestinal Damage • Antibiotic Induced Intestinal / Microbiome Dysfunction 4. Consider Adjusting the Dose of Lactose That You Take In One Sitting “However, in contrast to the management of sprue or food allergies, a strict lactose-free diet is not required since patients with LI often tolerate up to 250 mL milk (12 g lactose) without symptoms and more when consumed with food.” 5. Consider Using Lactase When Consuming Dairy Products High in Lactase (watch out for allergic responses, as it is made from mold) 6. Consider Shifting to Low Lactose Dairy Products • Cheese • Butter • Whey Protein Isolate
