#Dairymyths

Dairy is a global fixture on breakfast tables and in school lunches, yet growing research suggests that several long-held beliefs about milk and dairy products may be myths. A wave of new findings challenges the idea that cow’s milk is essential for a healthy diet, questions the blanket preference for low-fat dairy, and warns that plant-based milks are not always superior substitutes. For Thai readers, these debates arrive at a crucial moment as dietary patterns evolve with urban living, convenient fortified foods, and a growing interest in plant-based options that blend with traditional Thai meals.
