294: Dairy vs Non-Dairy Milk: Which Is Better For You, Your Skin + The Planet? (PART 1)
This is the first of a three-part series exploring the complex debate over dairy vs. dairy-free milk. While you probably want a simple answer about whether dairy is really bad for you, the reality is far more nuanced. After digging into the research, I uncovered surprising (and unsettling) truths about both options—ones that challenge the emotionally-driven narratives we often hear (especially people who eschew a vegan or plant-based lifestyle). If you’ve ever wondered how dairy fits into your health (and your skin health) or whether plant-based milk is really the superior, healthier choice, this episode is a must-listen.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/294- Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod- Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!
