Is it safe for children to eat a vegan diet? Yes! Science shows no meat, no dairy, no problem!   On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Dr. Yami Cazorla-Lancaster joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about the research that changed her from being a “milk pusher” to an advocate for plant-based diets. Dr. Yami also talks about:   - What health issues can happen to children who drink an abundance of milk and eat a lot of cheese. - How those problems can follow children into adulthood and intensify as they grow older. - The science showing milk does not protect bones from fractures. - The healthiest way for children to build strong bones. - The milk alternatives that parents should consider giving children. - Plant foods that are high in calcium.   Dr. Jim Loomis also joins the show to open the Doctor’s Mailbag and answer your questions!   - How can you get enough calcium without eating dairy? - Does calcium from plants interfere with iron absorption? - Is it possible for cholesterol to become too low on a plant-based diet? - And many more!   — — — Dr. Yami IG: @thedoctoryami Web: VeggieFitKids.com Facebook: https://bit.ly/DrYamiFB Podcast: https://apple.co/2Cg4sYJ — — — Chuck Carroll Twitter: @ChuckCarrollWLC IG: @ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Twitter: @PCRM IG: @PhysiciansCommittee Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/PCRMFacebook YouTube: https://bit.ly/PCRMYouTube — — — Barnard Medical Center Telemedicine Schedule Appointment https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed 202-527-7500 — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or many other podcast providers.
