Olympic athletes ditch dairy for good!

This commercial aired during the winter Olympics closing ceremony. Every day people are ditching dairy for healthier, cruelty free and environmentally sustainable plant based Mylks. We do not need dairy, we are not baby calves. This commercial staring Olympic medalists aired to over 5 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS across America on NBC (including in LA, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago, New York and Washington DC).

This is an absolutely ground-breaking commercial and shows the progress that is being made to raise awareness of the negative impact of dairy consumption.

Dairy and Hip Fractures: Advertisements push dairy for strong bones but research begs to differ. Drinking 2+ glasses of milk per day increased womens’ risk of hip fracture by 45%[1]. Those getting the recommended 3+ glasses per day had a 60% [2] greater hip fracture rate. For truly strong bones, shift your focus to fruits and vegetables[3]: Women eating twice the fruit had 5% denser bones[4].

Dairy and Prostate Cancer: Our sons have a 1 in 9[5] chance of developing prostate cancer throughout their lifetimes. By drinking milk each day during adolescence, they increase their risk of advanced prostate cancer by more than threefold[6]. When explored across 42 countries, milk was the food most[7] closely linked to both developing prostate cancer and dying from it. Men who bypass dairy and eat a plant-based diet on the other hand, cut their risk of prostate cancer by 35%[8].
