re yogurt: Did Dr. Budwig actually recommend the use of yogurt in place of cottage cheese/quark?
I have never read that Dr. Budwig recommended or sanctioned the use of yogurt as a suitable substitute for Quark in the Budwig Diet. She was adamant on using quark (cottage cheese) right up to publishing her last book in Sept. 1999. That is not to say that she necessarily was opposed to yogurt, she just did not mention it as an option. I do remain somewhat uneasy about the use of yoghurt in the place of quark. I have imitated how others say they use it, such as “30 turns with a spoon” (not even 200 turns with a spoon would do it right) and beating it with a whisk. On close observation with a magnifying glass I found that there are still tiny oil specks floating on top. That to me is not mixed enough. The dairy product needs a certain protein density to facilitate complete water solubility of the flaxseed oil. Some yogurts may have it, others don’t. Not all yogurts are alike. Some are fortified with powdered milk or something else to raise the protein content. I am still of the opinion
