That is an interesting comment. Thanks for posting. I'll have to look into the dairy-breast cancer angle. It's true that a low fat diet would eliminate creams, butter and most hard cheeses from the dairy category, but there are a wide variety of non-fat dairy products on the market which are a good source of calcium. Of course, since you are lactose-intolerant, soy seems a healthy alternative. I think until more is known about soy, I would stick to the guidelines as a good rule of thumb. Personally I use, and enjoy, dairy and soy products, but I try to stick to the "everything in moderation" rule.
