As shared in an article by Dairy Council of California, dairy foods are rich in nutrients that work together to support overall health. 🥛 When high-quality foods are eaten together, their nutritional benefits are enhanced. This concept, known as food synergy, demonstrates that whole foods (and combinations of foods eaten together) are greater than the sum of their parts, which is why whole foods like milk and yogurt are important!

🧀Here the primary drivers behind our recommendations for clients to limit or eliminate cheese plus processed dairy: ☠️Preservatives and Additives**: Processed cheeses can contain artificial preservatives, flavor enhancers, and colorings. These additives can have various adverse health effects, including allergic reactions and potential carcinogenic risks. ⚖️Caloric Density**: Cheese is calorie-dense, meaning it has a high number of calories in a small volume. This can contribute to weight gain and obesity if consumed in large amounts without adequate physical activity. 🐄Lactose Intolerance**: Many individuals are lactose intolerant, meaning they lack the enzyme lactase necessary to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk and cheese. Consumption can lead to digestive issues like bloating, gas, and diarrhea. 🤦‍♀️Cheese and dairy products contain hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which can disrupt the human endocrine system. These exogenous hormones can potentially elevate levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a hormone linked to increased cancer risk. Dairy consumption may also exacerbate hormone-sensitive conditions, such as acne and breast cancer, due to its effect on androgen and estrogen levels. Moreover, the presence of added hormones from dairy cows can further contribute to hormonal imbalances in humans, leading to reproductive health issues and other endocrine disorders. 🏴‍☠️Potential Contaminants**: During processing, cheese can be contaminated with harmful bacteria like Listeria or pathogens from the production environment, posing food safety risks. 🦄 I’m gonna male this really simple. The most addictive substances on the planet lie within our foods. The most addictive foods on the planet are processed. Processed foods equal cancer, disease, and obesity.

AN Performance & Applied Nutrition are proud members of the Natural Products Association. Founded in 1936, the Natural Products Association is the nation’s largest and oldest nonprofit organization dedicated to the natural products industry. NPA is recognized for its strong lobbying presence in Washington, D.C., where it serves as the industry watchdog on regulatory and legislative issues. In 1994, NPA played a key role in the passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). This important legislation strikes a balance between the need for consumers to have access to and information about safe and effective dietary supplements while also preserving the government’s interest in protecting the public from unsafe products and false and misleading claims. This is why a partnership with the NPA was so vital to us as a company and community. We pride ourselves on putting our customers and consumers first by advocating for health & wellness, showing up for our Industry, and striving to improve in any way we can to move the industry forward! #anperformance #appliednutrition #NPA #naturalproductsassociation

Food producers in the US contribute to the health of Americans by adding vitamins and minerals to products such as enriched wheat flour and fortified breakfast cereals. 🌾 This move prevents 1,300 birth defects of the brain and spine each year! But a recent Food Fortification Initiative market assessment in California and Texas found that only 13% of corn masa flour, corn tortillas, tostadas, and taco shells in the stores surveyed were fortified with folic acid. If these corn masa products were fortified, hundreds of additional birth defects of the brain and spine could be prevented each year. 🤝Join the movement for change and learn how you can start fortifying corn masa products with folic acid: https://lnkd.in/eYvZizGi #MejorConÁcidoFólico PC: 'No No Joe'
