RJA #3c: Developing Research Question

  • What is the affect on human bodies when dairy products are consumed?
  • Is there andy demographic areas that do not consume dairy products? Where? What is their health status?
  • Should humans avoid dairy products?
  • When did humans start consuming dairy products?
  • Has dairy products changed with population increases and subsequent dairy production increases?
  • Is the dairy industry health driven or profit driven?
  • Does organic dairy consumption increase health benefits? Decrease illnesses?
  • Do the hormone and antibodies that are fed to cattle affect the product or get passed down to the consumer?

RJA #3b: Narrowing Research Topic

I believe my topic on dairy consumption is a managable one. There are a few different aspects:

  • diseases associated with it
  • is organic a safe option
  • environmental aspects
  • calcium alternatives
  • affects - good and bad
