Dairy Healthy Food Guide

Dairy products such as milk, cheese and yogurt vary widely in fat, sugar and additive load. Longevity evaluates nutrition per serving in the context of longer-term eating patterns, while Food Integrity looks at ingredients such as stabilizers, flavors and processing beyond plain milk or yogurt. Ice cream and frozen desserts are listed in their own category. This page summarizes 388 published dairy products currently analyzed by Healthy Food Guide, with links to each individual breakdown.

How the two scores differ

Longevity Score
Evaluates nutrition-related characteristics relevant to longer-term eating patterns. Longevity methodology
Food Integrity Score
Evaluates ingredient composition, processing and related ingredient-quality considerations. Food Integrity methodology

Food Integrity examines characteristics such as ingredients, processing and additive concerns, while Longevity evaluates nutrition-related characteristics associated with longer-term eating patterns. Because the two analyses answer different questions, a product can perform differently under each.
