"Nutritionists say 'baffling' official guidance to halve dairy food intake puts public health at risk
Public Health England, the Government's official advisory body on diet, says reducing milk and cheese is vital to cut obesity"
Does anyone agree with the official guidance? I think it's crazy. Of all the foods to eat less of to reduce obesity, dairy products would be one of the last on the very long list of crap foods, surely!

ts about human health.All I know is that, since losing my fat and coming from almost 16 stone down to 11 stone, I have been drinking between 2-4 pints of whole milk per day, and plenty of other dairy products, including cheese.
I did cut all the crap that has high sugar content, though - but I wouldn't dream of cutting down on dairy products.

If I drank that much milk, I'd definitely be losing a lot of weight.I did cut all the crap that has high sugar content, though - but I wouldn't dream of cutting down on dairy products.
I love dairy, butter being my greatest sin, oddly though I'm not a heifer.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the 30k (minimum) I walk around Brecon each week with a 15kg (minimum) pack.
Could be my small bones.
Could be that gland thing that stops me from gaining weight.
It's a mystery.

Do you have butter on its own? As a meal?I wonder if it has anything to do with the 30k (minimum) I walk around Brecon each week with a 15kg (minimum) pack.

Tasty, I bet!People really should remember that citing their own anecdotal evidence is not a credible argument *head in hands*
Try sticking to scientific fact. This is what PHE base their guidance on. Some people can thrive on virtually any diet due to genetics, but public bodies need to consider the population as a whole. Just because uncle Terry smoked 20 a day and lived to 103, it doesn't mean smoking's good for you.
Many dairy products are rich in sat fat/cholesterol, which despite the naysayers and little evidence to the contrary, is very strongly linked to obesity and much more importantly chronic disease.
It doesn't take a genius to work out why it's been suggested people cut down.
