Dairy is the best thing on carnivore and the first thing to pull when something's wrong, and most people do it the other way round. What each one carries: - Butter: fat, almost nothing else - Double cream: 48% fat, nearly no lactose - Hard cheese: fat, protein, next to no lactose - Soft cheese: some lactose - Yoghurt: some lactose, cultured - Milk: about 5% lactose, a glass is a dose - Raw milk: the same sugar, the living version So butter, cream and hard cheese sit at one end, where almost nobody has a problem, and milk sits at the other, where the trouble lives. The test when something's off, a stall, a skin flare, bloating, a joint that's playing up: drop the dairy for a fortnight, every drop of it, and watch. If nothing changes, put it back and stop worrying. If something changes, bring it back from the top of the list down, butter first, milk last, and find out where the line is. Most people's line is milk. Most people's problem was pasteurised milk, and raw milk is where I'd start again. Nobody needs to give up butter. Nobody has ever needed to give up butter.
