As I explain in the Save Our Bones Program and
contrary to mainstream recommendations, drinking milk and eating lots
of dairy products are not the answer to reversing osteoporosis. And
while in the Save Our Bones Program no food is completely off limits, I
strongly recommend that you explore the different milk substitute
options that I will list for you here.
But first, I’d like to clarify that unsweetened fermented or cultured
dairy products such as yogurt, kefir, and sour cream are acid neutral.
Yogurt in particular is chock-full of beneficial qualities. As is the
case with milk, organic yogurt does not have rBGH, but even several of
the most well-known yogurt brands have stopped using the bovine growth
hormone (rBGH). You should call your favorite yogurt company to confirm.
One more clarification: when I say unsweetened I mean without sugar or
any artificial sweetener. However, you can add honey or stevia, a zero
calorie plant-derived sweetener that is delicious and alkalizing as
well. I like to carry around stevia packets in my purse so that I’m
always able to sweeten food or drinks when I’m on the go.
