About this title

Review:

“In prose as pungent as a sharp cheddar yet smooth as a vanilla shake, Hamilton shows how a foodstuff that can’t be digested by a large swath of people came to be promoted as a universal necessity by US health authorities.” (--Tom Philpott, food and agriculture correspondent, Mother Jones)

“Got Milked is a welcome and much needed counterpoint to the milk industry’s heavily marketed message that milk is a magic fairy food that confers the health of immortal unicorns and bones of steel.” (--Yoni Freedhoff, author of The Diet Fix, Assistant Professor Family Medicine, University of Ottawa)

From the Back Cover:

“Hamilton triumphs with this resounding critique of lobbyist influence on nutritional guidelines.”—Publishers Weekly

For more than a generation, we’ve been taught that milk does a body good, but in Got Milked? Alissa Hamilton dispels common misconceptions about milk, and exposes the truth behind the marketing, as well as the enormous influence the milk industry has over our diets. Separating science from advertising, Hamilton uncovers the inside story behind how milk became a dietary staple, stripping away years of conventional assumptions to reveal the ways in which milk interferes with everyday health.

But more than just a sobering look at how milk is not the wonder food that it has been made out to be, Got Milked? also:

Demonstrates how going milk-free can revolutionize your diet and your well-being.

Makes you rethink the way you consume milk and empowers you to eat better.

Offers delicious, dairy-free recipes and full meal plans that deliver the same nutrients found in milk, without all the sugar and negative side effects.

At once provocative and transformative, Got Milked? challenges much of the accepted wisdom about milk and will leave you prepared to take charge of your health.
