Answer

Brief Explanations:

The USDA guidelines recommend low - fat dairy. However, some studies now suggest less health risk in milk - fat consumption than previously thought. This shows a discrepancy between the guidelines and current research. Option D directly mentions these studies indicating a different view on milk - fat health risk.

Answer:

D. "…some studies receiving attention in the general media have indicated less of a health risk in milk - fat consumption than had been previously perceived."
