Healthy eating means something different for everyone. It is always the individual’s “own” genes that determine what is healthy. Of two people following the same diet, one may lose weight while the other puts it on. Milk can energize and vitalize, but it can also cause fatigue and illness.
People with a particular gene variant – the so-called 9q34 gene – can fully benefit from the positive properties of dairy products, namely muscle-building properties, increased vitality and higher bone density. On the other hand, milk is unhealthy for a large part of the population who have a particular variant of another gene, 9q34. For people with such a gene variant, milk is unsuitable for the adequate supply of calcium and vitamin D because of the very unfavorable calcium phosphate content.
Furthermore, they suffer disproportionately from intolerance to lactose and develop antibodies to certain milk proteins such as casein. This has a highly adverse effect on the hormone balance, and also on the neurotransmitters. Milk tends to make such people feel tired and can even lead to depression.
