Do You Use Food After Expiration Dates?

We’ve all done it, haven’t we? You know, sniffed the milk when we noticed it “expired” yesterday to see if it was still drinkable or OK for our coffee.
But how accurate are those printed dates anyway?
According to this article, not very accurate.
It seems we put way to much emphasis on the “best before” date and are likely throwing out perfectly good food.
The same thing likely applies to prescription drugs. My doctor once told me not to worry about my nitro spray being a month past its due date for example.
Do you follow those dates?
