Debunking the News About Dairy

Canada’s Food Guide was established to provide consumers with research-based information for healthy eating. Intended to help citizens understand how to meet the body’s need for vitamins and minerals, the colour-coded chart lays out the required number of servings people of all ages should consume every day.

For years, the Food Guide was regarded as the ultimate guide in healthy eating. In recent years, however, the eating plan has come under attack. Over time, alarmists have systematically turned their attention to fats, meats, dairy, bread, and more. Every component in the food guide has been vilified as a potential health threat.
