Recently I began using a food journal to keep track of what I eat and drink on a daily basis. For my food journal I simply have a spiral bound notebook in which I write the date down on each page and then write what I eat for meals and snacks. If I have juice I also write it down (I don't really drink any other beverages besides water).

Conventional advice tells us to consume lots of dairy, it's high in calcium and vitamin D and helps build strong bones and teeth, right? Well, there are those that think so, but there are also those who believe the dairy industry is one of the biggest dietary and health scams out there. The arguments for each side of this argument, dairy healthy and dairy bad, could go on for days.
