Studies have shown that children who consume cow’s milk are at greater risk of developing iron deficiency anemia. There are several reasons for why this may occur: 🥛 Cow’s milk is a poor source of iron and it has low bioavailability (meaning the body cannot absorb this iron well) and children who consume cow’s milk regularly have been shown to have an increased risk of anemia. 🥛 Cow’s milk also has high levels of calcium and phosphorus, both which inhibit the absorption of iron and could potentially explain why children experience anemia. 🥛 Children who experience gastrointestinal issues as a result of inflammation from consuming cow’s milk may experience chronic diarrhea and blood loss, which leads to loss of iron. The earlier a child is introduced to cow’s milk, the greater the risk a child has of developing anemia.

TODAY IS THE DAY! ☕️ 🥛 🌱 After years of outreach to @Starbucks corporate leadership to engage in good-faith discussions to remove the upcharge for plant milk — a policy rooted in dietary racism — Starbucks leadership took heed of Switch4Good’s latest campaign at Seattle headquarters and announced their intention to remove the upcharge starting on November 7th at U.S. and Canadian stores. Earlier this summer, our outreach to Starbucks leadership exposed the global coffee company’s ultra-secretive baseline shifting of climate goals that was never intended to be disclosed to the public. Starbucks leadership was discovered to engage in data manipulation by changing their reporting baseline when they failed to meet their goals, neglecting to transparently address these changes with the public. Additionally, we uncovered a pattern of price gouging that disproportionately affected customers of color. The groundbreaking announcement finally puts an end to the company’s policy rooted in a concept known as dietary racism, which has netted Starbucks $1 billion in profits thanks to an astounding upcharge of nearly 800% on plant milk in U.S. stores. This is not just our victory – it’s your victory to celebrate, too! Thank you for your unyielding support, messages, generous donations, and thousands of letters you’ve sent to Starbucks’ management. We finally did it – for human health, the animals, and the Earth – together!

Please join Switch4Good and PETA on Unchainedtv to discuss our massive win against Starbucks and their announcement to drop the plant-milk upcharge TOMORROW! https://lnkd.in/eZ-CfVui

Our guest on this week's episode of the Switch4Good podcast is Anthony Masiello—a devoted father who, after years of battling obesity and life-threatening health issues, received a wake-up call that changed everything. In 2005, weighing 360 pounds and denied life insurance, Anthony was faced with the realization that he might not be there to see his children grow up. Determined to change his fate, he embraced a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle, shedding 160 pounds and reversing chronic health conditions like migraines, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

Fairlife? Doesn’t sound it…Phthalates lurk in seemingly harmless items, like the milk you drink. As a chemical additive in plastics, phthalates are very concerning for human health. They can act as an endocrine disruptor, decrease fertility, and increase your cancer risk. Fortunately, there are simple steps you can take to minimize your exposure to phthalates and their potential effects on your health! We recently visited Fairlife headquarters to give you the unfiltered truth about their filtered #milk. This Franken-milk boasts more protein, less sugar, and less pesky lactose – but here’s what they won’t tell you: you’re still getting bovine estrogen and mucus-inducing casein. Oh, and there’s more! Consumer Reports ( https://lnkd.in/exaAPAJV )tested Fairlife’s Core Power High Protein Chocolate Milkshake and found some of the highest levels of phthalates in any product they tested. So while you’re busy trying to get ripped, you’re also stacking up on those forever chemicals that’ll be sticking around way longer than your workout gains! Check out our latest blog “Forever Chemicals And Your Health: How To Reduce Your Exposure To Phthalates And Why Cutting Dairy Is Key” ( https://lnkd.in/eTyYurJu ) to learn how to reduce your intake of #Phthalates .
