Organic Valley Lactose Free Fat Free Milk for Carb Refeed ? page

[MMMM FAT]

Anyone think this is paleo(aka Good Idea)

Ingred:
Organic Grade A Fat Free Milk, Lactase Enzyme, Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin D3?

In dairy isn't Lactose the anti-paleo ingredient ?

[jakey]

there's nothing specifically anti-paleo about lactose, it's a sugar that's existed in milk since the paleolithic times. if anything, i'd say that adding an enzyme to otherwise-normal milk is the neolithic element.

also, get some fat in there

Well, if you're doing a refeed you want to keep the fat low...the ingredients don't seem bad to me but I'd personally do a refeed with sweet potatoes and plantains, starchy squashes, white rice, etc...

[Chaohinon]

Right, doing a refeed with sugar is a fail. Starch is what you want.

[Apex Predator]

Low-fat dairy is death. Re-feed with rice or potatoes.

[Lily Marie]

Drinking milk that has had elements removed(lactose free/fat free) is a processed food. Not primal.

[MMMM FAT]

THANK YOU ALL, I literally just started my refeed and have had 2 glasses, now im throwing the rest out and getting more sweet potatoes

Milk is a substance that evolved a long time ago in mammals to promote growth of young mammals. The natural balance of fat, protein, and carbs is likely pretty ideal for that particular species (domestication aside). For domesticated animals, they provide milk that is usually fairly close in percentages to human breast milk. Why would you mess with that and take out all the beautiful fat?

Actually the real problem in dairy is more likely to be the protein fraction of it. Adding lactase for people who are lactose-intolerant but otherwise tolerate milk proteins well is not a problem and in fact would make milk a completely-tolerated food. Lactose (milk sugar) is composed of glucose and galactose bound together. Galactose is converted to glucose and therefore lactose is in fact equivalent to starch if lactase is available whether endogenously or exogenously. The reason to prefer starch over sugar is that the sugar in question is usually sucrose, half of which is fructose, a liver toxin. Remove the fructose and sugar becomes safe; in fact the Jaminets recommend rice syrup (pure glucose) as an entirely safe sweetener.
