"Dairy + Racism" with Dr. Milton Mills
According to Dr. Milton Mills, 75% of all African Americans are lactose intolerant. And yet, dairy products are constantly marketed to African American communities, despite the considerable evidence of the health problems that drinking dairy can cause.
Dr. Milton Mills is the Associate Director of Preventive Medicine for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) and co-author of PCRM’s report on Racial and Ethnic Bias in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines. In our newest video, Dr. Mills explains why people of color should not consume dairy products, while exploring the complex system of marketing, subsidies, and government regulation that has helped to create our current health epidemic.
This video was recorded at the #Switch4Good Dairy-Free Athlete Summit. Dr. Mills is an S4G medical advisor, and all views and research presented here are his own.
