Why do some people on here say that cheese is unhealthy???

the reason they say cheese is unhealthy is most you get from store are processed and they add extra ingredients in them. with your natural cheese it is very healthy. not always easily accessible. I love the baby bell cheese and the laughing cow cheese wedges. I do eat cheese have to really limiit it since it triggers my allergies.

dairy slows down your metabolism

Source?

I really hope not because I'm pretty sure my metabolism would be non existent at this point!

That's not muscles in your profile pic, that's cheese gromit!

I knew my results were too good to be true thank you for pointing this out LOL!!

You mean we cant believe EVERYTHING we read on the internet? what?!?!


LOL

I love cheese so much... i dont think i could live without cheese. and not the process kind cuz thats kind of plasticky but the kind u have to cut up n stuff

as long as you eat it in moderation i dnt c the problem.

because i'm lactose intolerant.... also high fat foods make me nauseous but it has also got the disadvantage of all the fat and sodium which i would find hard to fit into my macros daily. I'd rather spend 150 cals worth of cheese on something more filling and healthy to be honest.

Grilled Haloumi and ham toastie!

Cheese makes me fart!

Dr. Oz probably told them it was true.

Now I am an English teacher who drills the importance of adequately sourcing your claims into teenagers for a living.

I figured an English teacher would shudder violently while reading forum posts as they often contain fallacies, misappropriated punctuation, text talk and other atrocities. The illiterate horror within would disassemble even the toughest English foundations.
Not to mention the overuse of emoticons. *Insert winking icon here*
Is this how you toughen up for students?


As for cheese, I refuse to separate myself from it but understand that we must moderate our bond. For us to be seen together frequently would cause a great scandal.

I have learned to let a lot of grammatical stuff slide past me, both online and in conversation. Also, I am sure my own posts are not completely free of those errors you mention, but I try my best. I have to admit that I do like emoticons though. Hey, I still put smiley face stickers on kids' tests and quizzes. You'd never know they were past adolescence -- they get such a kick out of stickers.

Well in that case you rock! High school was a miserable experience. A smiley face sticker would have made it slightly less painful
I wish the office would implement the "gold star" sticker routine. I think it would improve morale!

Not only that: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows 750 million pus cells in every liter of milk (about two pounds). In Europe, regulators allow 400 million pus cells per liter.

Member of PETA for long?

The National Dairy Council wrote in a Dec. 21, 2007 email to ProCon.org:

"There is no pus in milk. All milk - including human breast milk - naturally contains somatic (white) cells, which are critical in fighting infection and ensuring good health.

People should get their family's nutrition advice from reputable, accredited health professionals, not animal rights groups like PETA [People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals]."

Kim Polzin, Consumer Media Representative at the Midwest Dairy Association, wrote in a Spring 2003 article "Milk Quality Is Key to Consumer Confidence," published in the Dairy Initiatives newsletter:

"On the surface, somatic cell counts seem like a topic that would interest only dairy farmers, veterinarians, and dairy processors. The impact of somatic cell counts on protein levels and cheese making seems far removed from things a consumer might think about while visiting the grocery store.

Enter People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and its 'Got Pus?' campaign, which attempts to 'alert consumers to impurities in the U.S. milk supply, particularly the high levels of bacteria-harboring pus.' Their so-called proof? Somatic cell counts...

[PETA] goes on to discuss the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance and even uses a state-by-state list of average SC [somatic cell] counts published by Hoard's Dairyman as 'evidence.' These activists are asking the public to abandon milk - one of the most tested, wholesome, and nutritious foods available.

The dairy checkoff is working to make sure consumers are not swayed by PETA's ridiculous and incorrect claims. There is no pus in milk."

Jeffrey W. Hull, MD, FAAP, practicing pediatrician, provided the following response to the question "Do you feel that it is accurate to state that there is indeed pus in milk?" in a Jan. 4, 2008 email to ProCon.org:

"No. Pus contains much more than simply white cells. There are dead neutrophils present, live nutrophils, dead tissue cells, blood proteins, dead and sometimes live bacteria...Pus is a pejorative and prejudicial term in this context, especially for material aimed at the scientifically naive. White cells - both neutrophils but also immunity bearing lymphocytes - are present in all mammalian milks. They have no bearing on the health of the beverage. Only bacterial or mycobacterial contamination of milk is of any relevance in my view."
