We have all grown up with a few dietary notions which may or may not be in our best interest! We all believe for example that lots of dairy is good for us.

Dairy is one of the four food groups identified in Canada's food guides as necessary and important for us.

When I was told dairy may not only be unnecessary, but harmful, I was confused and at first did not believe it.

My naturopaths, a wonderful couple who work together, began to educate me. Many people they reasoned on this earth do not have access to dairy and yet they live extremely well. Their children flourish and their bones and teeth are strong. They have diets rich in vegetables and therefore in vitamins, minerals and proteins. Finally they convinced me to try this novel approach to eating not only for myself but for my son.
