The Dairy Group includes milk,

yogurt, cheese, lactose-free


milk and fortified soy milk and
yogurt. It does not include foods
made from milk that have little
calcium and a high fat content,
such as cream cheese, sour
cream, cream, and butter.

Though eggs and dairy products


are both animal products and
often stored in the same
supermarket aisle, they're
otherwise unrelated. Dairy is
produced from milk, whereas
eggs come from birds. Thus,
despite the widespread
misunderstanding, eggs are not
a dairy product
Dairy products contain a
variety of components,
including:
Milk fat: The primary source of
energy in dairy products, milk
fat is made up of triglycerides,
fatty acyls,
glycerophospholipids,
sphingolipids, and
saccharolipids.
Water: A component of many
dairy products, such as butter,
cream, and milk.
Protein: A component of many
dairy products, such as butter,
cream, and milk.
Carbohydrates: A component
of many dairy products, such
as cream, which includes
sugars and lactose.
Vitamins and minerals: Dairy
products contain vitamins and
minerals such as calcium,
riboflavin, phosphorus,
pantothenic acid, potassium,
and vitamin A.
Dairy products contain many
vitamins and minerals,
including:
Calcium: Helps build and
maintain strong
bones.
Riboflavin (vitamin B-2): Milk
and dairy products are the
main source of riboflavin in
Western diets.
Vitamin D: Fortifying dairy
products with vitamin D can
help reduce the risk of
osteoporosis.
Vitamin B12: Also known as
cobalamin, this water-soluble
vitamin is found in dairy, eggs,
and red meat.
Vitamin A: An essential
vitamin for good health,
immunity, and digestive
systems.
Niacin: Milk and eggs are good
sources of niacin, and human
milk has a higher
concentration than cow's milk.
Potassium: Helps blood
vessels dilate and reduce
blood pressure.
Dairy products can have a
negative effect on skin health
for some people:
Acne: Dairy can increase the
risk of acne, especially for
people who drink one or more
glasses of milk per day. Acne
can appear one to two days
after consuming dairy.
Eczema and psoriasis: Dairy
can trigger chronic
inflammatory skin conditions
like eczema and psoriasis.
Rosacea: Dairy can cause
rosacea.
Autoimmune conditions: Dairy
can cause autoimmune
conditions.
Hormonal imbalance: Dairy
can disrupt insulin levels,
which can lead to skin issues.
Lactose intolerance: Lactose
intolerance can cause an
inflammatory response in the
body.
However, dairy products do
contain important nutrients
like protein and calcium, which
can be found in other foods. A
moderate and balanced dairy
consumption is preferable to
complete dairy avoidance.
People with lactose
intolerance or milk allergies
should avoid certain dairy
products, including:
Cream products
Ice cream, cream cheese,
custard, and butter are high in
lactose and should be
avoided.
Cheese
All varieties of cheese contain
lactose and should be
avoided.
Whey protein
People with milk allergies
should avoid whey protein,
and people who are lactose
intolerant should take caution.
Buttermilk
Buttermilk is a fermented
beverage made from cow's
milk and is not safe for those
with a milk allergy.
Curd
Curd contains milk proteins
and should be avoided by
people with a dairy allergy or
lactose intolerance.
People with lactose
intolerance may be
able to eat yogurt in
moderation because the
lactose has been partly broken
down. People with milk
allergies can often tolerate
baked goods that contain milk,
such as muffins and cake, but
you should talk to a healthcare
provider before trying any
baked goods that have milk.
Dairy products can provide
essential calcium and protein,
but they are also a top source
of saturated fat and
cholesterol in the American
diet. Diets high in fat,
saturated fat, and cholesterol
increase the risk of heart
disease.
