Thanks for the additional perspective and positive info on Euro dairy. I saw the oversimplified “dairy fat good” analysis on regular media, which made me happy

  Yeah, from my research a lot of dietary stuff is like that. I have tried to completely overhaul my diet over the last year or so to be healthier, but there seem to be so many confounding variables that it can be really hard to make firm conclusions for a lot of things. But yeah, the answer to a lot of things does seem to be "it's complicated". Take the "fat is bad" narrative - was always massive oversimplification, and it really depends on the type of fat - some fats (like monounsaturated and Omega-3 fats) it seems we really should be eating more of, not less!

    I suspect a lot of foods that used to be healthy are now unhealthy because they're factory farmed, or have had a lot of nutrition bred out of them due to breeding for looks or high sugar instead. Even vegetables are bad for you if bred to be high in sugar.
