Does It or Doesn't It Contain Dairy?
If you're giving up meat in honor of World Vegetarian Awareness Month, you may consider doing the same with dairy products as well. Foods containing diary can be high in saturated fat and cholesterol, so it's good to know which foods contain it. Ice cream, cheese, and yogurt are obvious, but can you figure out what other products contain hidden amounts of milk?
Tips For the Lactose Intolerant
Yogurt, creamy soups, ice cream, mac 'n' cheese, ranch dressing, butter on toast — these foods are so delicious and comforting but not for everyone. If you're lactose intolerant (and many people are), a simple slice of cheese on a cracker could have you running to the bathroom. So here are some tips to help you deal with your dairy-filled world.
Have You Ever Tried a Dairy-Free Diet?

Food Review: So Delicious Dairy Free Mini Sandwiches

High cholesterol runs in my family, so sometimes when I'm craving a rich, creamy, frozen treat, I often reach for a pint of dairy-free ice cream.

Food Review: Home Free Cookies
When I first cracked open a box of Home Free's peanut-free, tree-nut-free, egg-free, and dairy-free cookies, I thought: what poor person has all of those food allergies combined? I couldn't quite figure out the target market. But now I think I have it figured out.
Jenny McCarthy Is Gluten- and Dairy-Free and in Shape
In Shape magazine, that is — on the cover of the May issue.
