Dairy is a bane for those of us not blessed with the enzyme. (Thank God for Lactaid) I think healthy diet recommendations should include calcium sources with dairy listed as an option or as part of Fats and Oils. Afterall, dairy has NOT been in diets of ALL peoples for as long as one reader indicates, has it? Weren't we hunter-gatherers first? Also, why isn't lactose intolerance a more common diagnosis? I think too many doctors misdiagnose lactose intolerance symptoms as stress and IBS. It's too bad that getting a dairy-free meal is such an oddity in this country. Soy Latte anyone? Thanks for listening, Linda (lslassiter)
