New Study Challenges Low-Fat Dairy Recommendations, Suggests Full-Fat Dairy Benefits
A Canadian study led by University of Toronto professor Harvey Anderson suggests that full-fat dairy products can be part of a healthy diet without negatively impacting body weight or cholesterol levels. The 12-week study involved 74 adults consuming different amounts of dairy, with findings indicating no adverse effects from three servings of full-fat dairy per day. This challenges long-standing dietary guidelines that recommend low-fat dairy to reduce saturated fat intake. The study supports the 'dairy matrix hypothesis,' which posits that the structure of dairy foods affects nutrient absorption and health outcomes.
