Episode 17: Is Dairy Healthful or Harmful? Exploring Truths and Myths

ByAcademy of Culinary Nutrition Last updated onMay 5, 2025 Reading Time: 3 minutes

Many of us consider dairy products an essential part of our diets, not just due to a love of ice cream and cheese but also because experts tell us that dairy is good for our health and our bones. But is that really true? Our 17th episode of the Today Is The Day Podcast, “Is Dairy Healthful or Harmful? Exploring Truths and Myths”, is now available on your favourite podcast platforms.

Today is the day we’re going deep on dairy and whether the messages that have been drilled into us for decades (like “milk builds strong bones”) is true and if we actually need dairy in the diet for optimal health.
