help,: dairy & iron, mucous forming, soy sprouts

[Guest guest]

When dairy is added to foods containing iron does it help

your body absorb it? Sally Fallon says it does but

I have read that dairy decrease the amount of iron

absorbed.

Also she reveals how soy is not very good unless

used fermented and in moderation but is it okay

if it is sprouted?

Last question: Dairy is mucous forming right? Last

recently my 4 month old, 2 1/2 year old and myself

all passed around a nasty cold. They had fevers and

lots of congestion and coughing. All my natural healing

books said to stop dairy to lessen mucous. So should

one stop dairy when ill? Plus this illness came on

the next day after my toddler had yogurt(raw from

grass fed cow) for the first time. The only dairy

he had prior to that was some butter (raw grass fed).

I am new to this site and to

Nourishing Traditions. We have not been eating dairy

for the past 2 years believing it to be bad....now

I am presented with info that real milk is good.

Thank you for your help!!!!
