Abstract
None of the food classes is to be neglected, as each presents nutritional specificities, in terms of vitamins, oligo-elements, minerals, essential amino acids, omega-3, and 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Milk and milk products occupy a specific place. In terms of a diversified diet, their presence ensures better health, because of the reduction of the number of pathologies. For nay years, milk suffers many attacks, most of them not justified, intuitive, or pseudo-scientific. Thus, milk products and milk detractors, are using, globally, two-line of arguments. One is using false or abusive scientific and medical data. The other presents arguments not at all based on scientific arguments, possibly qualified as a fantasist. Unfortunately, the consumer is interested in them.
