The Wall Street Journal published this article on dairy consumption and how the U.S. FDA is looking at making changes to nutrition advice going forwards.
While its helpful to know the U.S. government agrees you may be better off without its current guideline of three dairy servings a day, and other governments already have lower guidance levels, the most important thing to learn is how your body reacts to dairy and whether it may be beneficial or potentially harmful to your individual body systems.
Some people have a genetic makeup that prevents production of the enzyme that breaks down lactose, others have become lactose intolerant over the years due to imbalances in the gut, and others eat dairy easily, receiving good nutrients from it.
If you have questions about your own ability to consume dairy, consulting a registered nutritional therapist or other health practitioner with appropriate training is advisable. In the meantime, listen to your body and eat foods that nourish it well.
A fight is brewing over how much dairy is good for you
