I must not be part of most people. :-)

I eliminated ALL dairy for about six months and it did not affect my health at
all.

Whereas I subsequently resumed eating cheese, and then eliminated grains and
legumes, cut my carb intake to about 100 grams a day, and added Omega-3 fatty
acids to my diet, and THEN :

- I stopped getting headaches
- I stopped getting pains in my joints
- I stopped getting nasal congestion
- I stopped getting hay fever in the spring

and some other relatively minor improvements as well.

This leads me to believe that some people have a genetic adaptation to dairy and
some don't (since many people have improvements due to eliminating dairy) - and
so I think that D'adamo is correct in just his part of his theory...
