Answer 6

I don't know.

Dairy that has fat has fat; and much dairly does, though not all. On the other hand, people need SOME fat; and dairy has a lot of other things we need, as well.

Many people are lactose intollerant, which is to say their digestive tracts can't handle most dairy.

Kosher Jews don't let dairy and meat be in the same meal; and even have seperate cooking ustensils to use when making meat dishes and dairy dishes; they have to keep them in seperate drawers so they never touch.

You'd have to ask the specific people who said this to know what, exactly, they had in mind.

As a blanket statement, it's false.

Answer 7

Lowfat dairy is quite healthy actually. Regular consumption (dietary calcium) has even been found to help pass more fat through your system so less gets absorbed by the body.

Full fat dairy can be unhealthy (whole milk, full fat cheeses, flavored yogurts high in sugar, etc).

Answer 8

dairy has a lot of fat, sometimes cholesterol. but i prefer to eat real dairy, like butter instead of margarine. cow's have been making milk longer. so go with the real stuff, just in moderation.

Answer 9

Different experts weigh in differently on dairy.  On one hand, a lot of dairy products are high in fat and calories which makes them "bad" for you.  The other side is, it remains one of the best sources of calcium (important for bone/teeth strength and health)  and recent studies have shown high-dairy diets to actually promote weight loss due to calcium intake raising the body's level of calcitrol (a hormone that causes your body to store less fat).  As with most foods, the most important thing to remember is moderation.  It's never good to completely eliminate OR to overconsume anything.  Pay attention to recommended amounts you should consume

Answer 10

Its fattening.

Answer 11

the high fat content.

Answer 12

Dairy is only bad for you if you consume it in large amounts on a daily basis.  And yes, it is fattening.
