“It is absolutely unnatural and unnecessary for adult humans to be consuming the milk of another species. It’s unnatural and it’s unhealthy.” - Dr. Milton Mills, MD

Most doctors receive less than 24 hours worth of nutrition education during their four years of medical school; they prescribe pills and surgeries without first looking at their patients’ diet. For Dr. Milton Mills, this is not the case. A critical care physician working at an ICU, Dr. Mills is no stranger to patients suffering from advanced stages of chronic disease.

His first recommendation?
Ditch dairy. He is on a mission to educate the public about the consequences of dairy - to both individual health and that of society. He supports his claims with medical evidence, and we take a deep dive into exactly why dairy is so harmful. He is truly passionate about this topic, and it was a pleasure to sit down with him and learn so much.

What we discuss in this episode:

- Health risks of consuming dairy, including acne, digestive problems, osteoporosis, and certain cancers.
- Lactose intolerance and people of color.
- Government involvement in the dairy industry and dairy promotion.
- The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
- The Blue Zones
- NutritionFacts.org YouTube for science-backed, easily digestible, and subject-specific videos on health and the benefits of a plant-based diet.

    Thanks for putting Dr. Mills on blast. I love his lectures --they are humorous, and very impactful because of all the scientific reference he provides. He's like an encyclopedia.

    Dr. Milton is a great individual and doctor! All his podcasts are very informative and well explained. I love listening to him and I'm learning so much from him! God bless him 🌹🙏
  • As a plant-based board certified physician - ( and living in New Zealand one of the highest dairy producers -but home to James Cameron - Exec Producer of The Game Changers!) only wish this was watched by millions! - doctors, nutritionists, athletes, politicians/policy makers and general population! Thanks to one of my heroes Milton Mills - and 2 new ones - thanks ladies!
  • I love Dr. Milton Mills. His presentation that he referenced in the end is great!!
  • Yes, I love his lectures the first to catch my ears. I am convinced. My daughter has asthma, and I will be doing this.

    Milk is poison. I have been plant focused (90% plants and 10% organic animal protein. I can’t digest legumes). I felt incredible… I began adding dairy because of pressure from my family insisting that I get other nutrients), and I felt AWFUL. Terrible digestion, bad skin, low energy, weight gain, and felt irritable. I took it out of my diet and felt incredible in one day. I have always stayed lean and healthy, excellent bill of health… so I will follow my intuition and my body and avoid any dairy (and ultra processed food) for good. Thank you for your wonderful content ❤

    Great Interview!! I so appreciate Dr. Mills telling the truth about Dairy. We have been lied to for far too long.

    So I was recently diagnosed with gastritis and I'm also an asthmatic. My doctor told me to stay off diary and gluten because it's causing excess inflammation in my body. So I follow the diet he recommended and not only did my asthma symptoms decrease, my acne disappeared and my gastritis went away. I feel so much healthier.
  • Thank you Switch4Good Ladies. You two are exceptionally good, the way you ask and listen to quest. I love you all.
  • Why ppl just talking about milk saying they drink almond milk or will switch to almond milk after hearing this? Dairy milk is also in icecream, sour cream, cream cheese, all cheeses, ranch, yogurt and so on. If you don’t read ingredients you are ingesting it consuming milk through other food such as bread, cake, donuts, cereal, crackers, chips, the list goes on.

    I too love Dr. Mills lectures. I just question why he’s a heavy vegan if he’s doing a whole food plant-based. I wonder if he still consuming a good amount of oil. I’ve learned that processed oils thickens our blood and can cause serious health issues. I also have experimented and cut the process oils out and only use avocado nuts and seeds in moderation and both my husband and I have drop 20 pounds and four months plus his blood pressure finally went down. I’m excited to see what his cholesterol numbers look like now that we have been free of processed oils for four months. Other than that his information is fantastic! Thanks for sharing his interview.

    What is the recommendation for strength training since I assume that whey protein is not recommended?
