It is scary that all this mis-information is spread around and that
people
believe it.

Does anyone have any suggestions about some good replies to give to
friends
and family who state these "facts" about eating milk or cookies?

It's such a big subject that it's difficult to find just a few
sentences
that will make people stop and think.
