I would like to go vegan, but I love cheese (from goat & sheep milks, not cow milk) and ice cream too much.
While avoiding as many animal products as possible is good for the environment, it has reduced the inflammation around my joints so much that I no longer have any pains from arthritis. Still can't move well, but no pain!
