A member asked:

I am a lacto-vegeterian and i plan on cutting out dairy products, is it dangerous?

Dr. Alvin Lin answered

No: Many people are lactose intolerant, don't consume any dairy products and do just fine. Just make sure you eat a variety of other natural/real foods, not processed non-animal foods in a box.
