Dairy products often accompany meat consumption and they too are a marginal food in the macrobiotic diet.

Why?

First of all because casein, a protein found in all dairy products, once assimilated it accumulates in the upper segments of the intestine and undergoes putrefaction, therefore it produces toxins that alter the gastrointestinal, pancreatic and biliary systems.

Dairy products cause problems in various glands and related structures: breasts, ovaries, uterus, prostate, kidneys, thyroid, etc. Negative effects occur mainly in the form of mucus (another element,

whose excessive production which is linked to the consumption of dairy products) and accumulations of fat, which can also form cysts. In the world, from 50 to 90% of people suffer from lactose intolerance (milk sugar), except for the Scandinavians and a few others.

In milk there is a greater quantity of saturated fats than in meat, and even more than cold cuts. Suffice it to say, that when you eat a mozzarella, so to stay light, you take the amount of fat, which when compared to it, we find in six kilos of cod. But the reasons why macrobiotics do not recommend using milk and dairy products are linked to a biological fact with implicit even symbolic results.

Milk is a food that nature has programmed (in the sense of nutritional composition) for newborns of mammals. It contains a proportion of nutrients and particular antibodies to each species from which it is produced. And man is the only animal that feeds on milk after weaning, but not on his milk, but on that of another species! Therefore macrobiotics do not recommend its use even with newborns.

Moreover, from an energy point of view, milk is a food full of expansive energy, energy suitable for a being whose cellular development is rapid, so it contains the nutrients, hormones and enzymes necessary to perform this task. . Speaking of cow's milk, however, we are talking about a milk for a living being that is around a quintal.

From a macrobiotic point of view, it is difficult for our body to manage such an energy and therefore it will try to remove it from its interior, first of all by producing mucus as previously said.
