Is dairy good or bad?

Milk products are good in many ways. They are full of nutrients, minerals which are particularly good for one. Iodine is something which hardly ever gets a mention. True one only needs a little 150 microns on a daily basis, dairy is a good way to achieve this and other minerals which promote good thyroid health. Iodine is found in many foods but more often in smaller amounts, 100 gram of dark green veg only provides 4 microns for example when 100 ml of either cow or goat milk provides 30. Cow milk is type 1 casein the protein which can be problematic for many but goat is type two like A2 milk. It is also considered that goat milk lactose is probably easier to digest for some because the body has less stress utilising the milk in comparison to that of cows.
I love the goat juice and everything that comes from it. I just wish more of the population would get on board, so farming can be ramped up without financial risk, so the prices can come down a bit.2 -

I recently switched to A2 cows milk, as i drink a lot of milk/dairy and my skin flares up because of it. It's only been a week and my face is clearing up already.1 -
I don't drink milk...I think it tastes nasty but I use half and half in my tea and eat green yogurt and cheese. I think of your body tolerates it, great. If it doesn't, don't eat it.1

Yes it is. I'd be happy if my only source of fluid was milk.
A tall glass of cool milk with pepperoni pizza is heaven.

I love Feta cheese, but the last time I tried goat milk, it tasted exactly the way goats smell. I couldn't finish the container.6 -
In general, dairy is healthy and contains lots of protein but avoid it if any allergies or other medical reasonings. I can't eat dairy anymore due to my allergy. Even lactaid didn't work. And if you have Crohn's or a similar IBD, I suggest a low-no fat dairy. I have Crohn's and can't metabolize fats well which apparently is a common thing for it. I have to be on a lowfat diet.1

Dairy is highly processed and youd never get it in nature. It really has no place in the human diet. The calcium in it praised for bone growth and strength . Its too much calcium and it actually hurts bone health and contributes to osteoporosis. Plants have all the calcium and fat you need.4

All mammals get their milk in nature.5

I love dairy. I can't do nut or soy milks since I'm allergic to most nuts and soy. Milk has fat to keep me full, calcium, a ton of protien...it is a near perfect substance to put in my body...and you can use it to make cheese and icecream so it gets even more points.

Feta is usually made with sheep milk, sometimes cow. There is a magically awesome french goat milk feta, though, that I think is much better than either of the others.
But anyway, if you are buying feta in the regular grocery, it's probably sheep milk, maybe cow.1 -
Dairy is how I've been able to meet my protein goals. I've increased my intake of 0% fat Greek yogurt and 2% cottage cheese significantly in the past few months. I enjoy the taste, they fit well with my calorie/nutrient goals and they're relatively inexpensive. All three add up to good for me.
OP, the question is, is dairy good for you? Evaluate the nutrients and calories in various dairy products you want to eat and determine if they fit your goals.2 -

Honestly, I don't really care if it's made from cat milk, as long as it doesn't taste like I'm licking a goat. :sick:
But thank you for the info!8 -
It causes the 'beetus:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16530335
It is used to addict children to mothers:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21240335
It even causes the autisms:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24657283
It causes you to not have the fattyness though:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27465374
Particularly if you are young chinese boy:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27459802
For women, it just makes them less Hulk smash:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27252768
That last one, though...
In my anecdotal n=1, I partake of the dairy and want to hulk-smash all kinds of *babysloth* on the regular.2 -

You should note when these happen in your MFP notes section, particularly if it includes increased verbal aggression. Then you'd have a diary of dairy diatribes.
