Animal fat and protein cause inflammation, while plant-based fat and protein don't. Dairy contains all sorts of hormones and other stuff (e.g. real estrogen, antibiotics) that people should not consume regularly.

Milk alternatives on the other hand can actually be anti-inflammatory because they contain antioxidants. Whether that still holds true for processed versions of it... probably depends!

The other big risk factor in cheese is saturated fat. I don't know if plant-based cheese is generally healthier in that respect.

Citations needed for all of this?

The first paragraph is just things you’ll hear on NutritionFacts.org with some research papers you can review for yourself. Which was weird to hear in a culture where meat and even dairy are heralded for their supposed nutritional (like protein) superiority. I think his “Evidence Based Weight Loss” video touches on these points all in one place if you are interested. There might be an accompanying article with simpler links to the papers he cites, but too lazy to check on mobile.
