One-liners you don’t want to miss:
“49% of New Zealand adults are consuming the recommended serves of dairy per day (data from a survey carried out by Fonterra).”
“ Most people don’t know that most people who are lactose intolerant can still consume dairy without concerns. Cheese and yoghurt have much lower levels of lactose and milk even when consumed as part of a meal can often be well tolerated. ”
“The serve size of milk is 1cup (250ml), cheese 2 slices (40g), yoghurt 3/4 cup (150-200g).”
