Whole fat dairy is healthier than reduced fat dairy for all ages, and there are many healthy fats that are an essential part of a good diet. I'm not advocating a bacon sandwich for lunch every day, but the standard healthy diet script we've been fed the last 30 years is pure nonsense funded by big industry.
