One-liners you don’t want to miss:

“There is really no data that says avoiding milk helps with weight loss. There is no data that says consuming milk increases weight or causes weight problems.”

“ People don’t feel the impacts of being low in calcium immediately. It’s something where you can go yes I feel better, I cut dairy. It’s not going to catch up on you until later in life when you start having trouble with your bone density. It’s really easy to get caught up in the now and forget about the future when it comes to this food group and food.”

“I would rather be farting in my 30s than have broken bones later in life.”
