Um, English is not your native language, that is NOT a sentence.

Low fat is a relative term, how low? And if you want to talk about
low fat dairy products containing more carbs you need to leave out the
word dairy... there are no extra carbs in low fat milk/cheese... maybe
you mean low fat dairy recipes like cheese cake made with low fat
cream cheese but with thicker crust and extra sugar... and pizza made
with low fat mozz but thicker crust.

>I don't think low fat is healthier for most people.

You need to buy a clue, depends on the type of fat (some fats are more
healthful) and it depends on a persons general health, some people can
eat all the fat they want with no ill effect while others (those who
are inactive) who are prone to obeseity and/or cardio disease need to
curb all fats. But for most people their bathroom scale is an
excellent indicator of what kind of diet to eat... the trick is to
modify ones diet before developing a disease brought about from being
over weight. Once one develops a dietary disease it's a whole lot
more difficult to treat by modifying ones diet.
