Sorry for the confusion. I’m picking authorities at random and asking why I should trust you over them, not vouching for any authority in particular. Perhaps I should have asked more bluntly: who are you and why are you qualified to give us health advice?
No offense. :)
I am having a hard time finding places I disagree significantly with them.
More a curiosity than anything: dairy isn’t represented at all on the HSPH’s “healthy eating plate” but is specifically highlighted in your section on nutrition. Why the discrepancy?
I’m not. I’m a random person who is investigating the advice of professionals and trying to determine the interventions with the highest reported effect sizes in the literature. I’m not running studies myself or claiming anything in the absence of studies.
Milk and eggs is because of the Adventist health study and others:
“mortality from ischemic heart disease was 20% lower in occasional meat eaters, 34% lower in people who ate fish but not meat, 34% lower in lactoovovegetarians, and 26% lower in vegans. ”

Keep in mind that it is perfectly valid to infer that if I disagree with a mainstream source on healthy advice this is minor evidence I am wrong.
