WASHINGTON—Two Olympians are competing to influence federal nutrition policy on a question for Americans’ breakfast tables: Does milk do a body good? In one corner is Olympic cyclist Dotsie Bausch, who is urging a federally appointed scientific advisory panel to rethink the official U.S. dietary guidelines, which promote dairy as one of the five food groups. She stopped eating meat and then dairy two years before the 2012 Olympic Games in London and credits that decision for helping her win a silver medal for the U.S. shortly before turning 40.
