Nice try, dairy industry
- Axsuul 9y agoHow would the dairy industry want this?

- mathw 9y agoDairy products are high in fat...
- sjwright 9y agoFull cream milk is 4% fat. That's not very high.
- toasterlovin 9y agoA good amount of the calories in whole milk come from fat. In post-milk dairy products, though, it’s a much higher percentage, since much of the carbohydrates have been removed. After all, it’s removing the carbohydrates (lactose) that makes dairy products viable for the lactose intolerant. Take a look at the fat content of butter, cheese, yogurt, sour cream, etc.
- mjmasn 9y agoIt's 49% calories from fat, that's pretty high. A healthy diet is <20% calories from fat. Even that is much more fat than we need.
- tracker1 9y agoIt seems to be (forget which studies) that we need 40-60g of fat/day for dietary needs and for good digestion (keeping bile/gallbladder running). If that's <20% of your calories, you're either eating a lot, and depending on activity that is fine, or you aren't getting enough fat. Personally, following a vegan, or even doctor recommended diet for diabetes I gained weight on both... on keto, I'm down 63# last year, and feeling much better and mostly off medication. I've also got a dysfunctional metabolism, so YMMV.
- sjwright 9y agoYou say that as if it were objectively true, but in fact it's just opinion, which has the unremarkable honour of being the most popular view of current mainstream diet "experts". Further, it's absurd to focus on the macro-nutrient ratios of a single calorie source. For most people, dairy is almost invariably balanced against other calorific sources, many of which are almost entirely carbohydrate, like wheat, rice and refined sugar.
