Although the federal governments Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends three servings of dairy a day, its fine to eat less, according to Walter Willett, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

In an October 28, 2021 Consumer Reports article, he said that just one serving of dairy was a good daily target, and recommended yogurt for its probiotic properties. He also said that eating yogurt may have a modest benefit for weight control.

The article also suggested that those who are consuming only one or two daily servings of dairy dont need to worry about its fat contentin fact, opting for fat-free might backfire because people often compensate by eating more carbohydrates. Those who choose plant-based milk should watch out for added sugars, according to the articleand if not consuming any dairy, add other sources of calcium and vitamin D such as kale, broccoli, tofu, nuts, and fatty fish.
