Important topic! I highly encourage everyone to watch Forks Over Knives, What The Health, and The Game Changers on Netflix. The more you know. 🙂
I have yet to find sound proof/data that whole fat dairy is unhealthy. Those I do find still recommended limiting or avoiding full fat dairy are either outdated or backed by the food industry etc. For those that can tolerate lactose, these food sources are full of beneficial vitamins and nutrients (especially grass fed dairy). If you are interested, research for yourself from reputable, up-to-date sources and make informed decisions for your own health.
