The controversy around milk still continues in my mind. I can see the standard paleo arguments against, but the chemistry is a bit more complex. Studies keep popping up about the health
benefits of milk fat (I long ago gave up any idea that saturated fat was unhealthy).
Here is another:
a fatty acid in milk fat is associated with a substantially lower risk of type 2 insulin resistant diabetes.
The excellent
Future Pundit blog has a good write up.

For those of us that can't handle dairy products, it's a lot easier to buy into the paleo argument against. ;)
Diary has nothing to do with it. The fat in the products fill you up so you don't eat so many carbs.
Diary does not mean drinking milk in a glass. I have no problem using good diary, raw milk- which I can still buy is not anything like the crap found in supermarkets. Cheeses and real yougurt are fine foods. Paleo should not be a dogma like vegetarians make theirs. Until I hunt and gather my food outdoors and stay off the computer and sell the car, then I will use what is good about paleo and what is good for ME.
