Too much yogurt

[Guest guest]

What is the reason behind not giving a child more than 1/2 cup of yogurt per

day? When I read BTVC, I was under the impression that one was to work up to

that goal of eating 1/2 cup per day. I did not, however, have the understanding

the it was not to be exceeded. iel has quite a bit more than this amount

every day. I never have measured it out, but I'd guess he eats 1 1/2 cup or

maybe even 2 cup per day. What might this much yogurt do to someone that Elaine

did want the 1/2 cup to be exceeded? Thanks.

Meleah,

You can feed up to 2-3 cups a day.

Aside from how much yogurt would supply calcium requirements, I feel that

2-3 cups per day is the limit because of concerns about legal sugars in

yogurt such as galactose.

When you think about it, cows and goats do not touch dairy, yet they produce

a calcium-rich product. That is because there is calcium in vegetables and

grasses and the absorption of this calcium is facilitated by sun and/or

Vitamin D.
