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.
