Dairy can be a tough sell. It’s constantly moving from the “healthy” to the “unhealthy” food groups, never really staying put long enough. It goes from hero to villain and back again in the blink of an eye.
Yes, it can be fatty, but no one seems to agree if it’s good or bad fat, healthy or dangerous. Dairy can also make people feel uncomfortable and bloated because of a high number of individuals suffering from lactose intolerance to one degree or another. Some would argue that humans shouldn’t be eating it because it’s unnatural. Humans are the only species that consumes milk from other animals. No other animal has the ability to digest milk taken from another species, which might explain why lactose intolerance is so prevalent. But dairy has all kinds of nutritional benefits that are essential for a healthy diet. It’s high in calcium, vitamins, and minerals that your body needs to stay strong and functional.
