Notes

It you have a lactose allergy then avoid this BUT if you have a mild dairy intolerance then you should be fine with this.
Always try to get organic – it means you don't get the hormones or drug residues that they give normal cows. Its always important to consume organic animal products where possible as fat is where we mammals store toxins.
