| | 4 / 14 Myth 3: Dairy products are fattening
Fact:
Cheese can be high in fat but like most dairy products, it's fine in moderation. A balanced diet contains food from a range of food groups -- including dairy -- so it can do more harm to cut these foods out, Mason explains.
If you're concerned about the fat content, opt for low-fat dairy products but don't ditch them altogether. A no-dairy diet will mean missing out on good sources of calcium and vitamin D, which are essential for healthy teeth and bones.
