“Letting go doesn't mean that you don't care about someone anymore. It's just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself.”
― Deborah Reber, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
No one has control of you except yyourself. You have to take control. No one has the right to take control over your life, unless you let them. Letting go is a very loose term. Sometimes it just means taking a break. We all need breaks. It doesn't mean you do not care or love them anyone, it just means you might need a little free time for yourself. There is nothing wrong with that . Do not feel guilty over that.
There are many reasons people consume fewer dairy products or avoid them altogether. Most of the time the individual doesn't relate their bloating, flatulence and changes in stool to their dairy consumption. The younger generation consumes more soda or pop by 300% over the past 50 years. Some avoid dairy because of the advice from their health care practitioner, or because of a history of kidney stones, calcium deposits in joints or bothersome skin conditions that can be related to dairy. Dairy as it exists today is very inflammatory. Some have to avoid dairy due to lactose intolerance. Lactose is the sugar found in milk that gets broken down in the small intestine into two simple sugars (glucose and galactose) which are then absorbed by the brush border of the small intestines. There is a normal physiologic decline in the absorption of milk as we get older. This is a lactase (the enzyme which breaks down lactose) deficiency, called lactase non-persistence. There is a difference in lactose intolerance and lactase non-persistence. Most patients who have celiac disease or non celiac gluten sensitivity, also have an underlying dairy intolerance.
If you avoid dairy you must make sure you get the proper supplementation of minerals that are found in dairy. You need to still get the adequate calcium and magnesium levels, and do not forget the trace minerals as manganese, zinc, selenium and copper. Calcium is critical to bone health.
I agree with avoiding dairy as it exists today. Make sure you eat spinach for calcium, bananas and avocados for potassium, eggs for vitamin A (organic eggs), canned sardines and salmon (from http://www.vitalchoice.com/) for B12 and Vitamin D, almonds for riboflavin and (if not allergic) cooked soybeans for magnesium. There are alternatives to milk in the way of other foods. There are some children who are allergic to eggs. The question I ask Is it the eggs? or is it the soy meal that the chickens are being fed? Most egg allergies could actually be a soy allergy.
You can eat other dairy as in sheep or goat. I would also suggest raw dairy. To be informed about raw dairy join http://www.westonaprice.org/
THE QUESTION IS - TO BE OR NOT TO BE A DAIRY CONSUMER
