I could keep posting link after link. No doubt, my pediatrician would roll her eyes at me, but I’m cynical enough — and paranoid enough — to believe that the dairy industry has bought off the entire American population, including the American Academy of Pediatrics. Don’t get me wrong, I love me a good slice of pizza as much as anyone else, and I can’t bring myself to ban all diary products from C’s diet (though I probably should, for intellectual consistency’s sake), but I draw the line when it comes to the liquid stuff. Soy’s hardly better, health-wise, so I stick to hazelnut milk (Pacific makes a DELICIOUS version), and at some point, I’m going take the initiative and make my own almond milk.
