Are dairy products that come from sheep or goats any better?
Less is better. I have no objection to my patients putting a little skim milk on dry cereal once a day, nor would I object to one frozen yogurt a week. I don’t feel that amount of dairy is harmful. But what is often un-addressed is our addiction to the taste of fat. As children, we do need a greater amount of fat in our diet to ensure proper development, especially before the age of 2. But as adults, we need only 15 to 20% of calories from fats, which are easily acquired through a plant-based diet.
