The nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which counts 12,000 members from the medical community, is urging the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services to rethink dairy’s place in the forthcoming Dietary Guidelines.
The newly appointed 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee should take cues from the growing body of research pointing to dairy’s health risks, according to the group. Canada recently dialed down its dairy recommendations significantly, removing all dairy except for small amounts of milk.
