What in the heck do we know about dairy and health? Not enough! Milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, ice cream are all different foods, with differing health effects. Need to stop making simplistic nutrient goals around calcium, vitamin D, fat, or saturated fat. https://t.co/48oUglKE65

PUFA and MUFA from plant oils are quite healthy. For more clarity, I’d say a low refined starch/sugar, high plant oil Mediterranean diet (or cultural equivalent). In RCTs, MUFA and esp. PUFA have signif. benefits on glucose-insulin metabolism https://t.co/Htp9zHNmjq https://t.co/CTiFMyfQmt

Protein also alters the microbiome. There’s growing evidence these effects vary based on the protein source and processing. Like for refined carbs, processed proteins might have some different health effects than protein in intact foods. https://t.co/RiQZjhQjjC
