A member asked:

Does low fat dairy provide more calcium and calories? what are the main differences between low and full fats? what type you recommend? kindly advice

A doctor has provided 1 answer

dairy: Calcium is the same unless there's a difference in calcium added to the product. The lower fat means lower calories. We generally recommend the lower fat type.
