Full-fat dairy may offer heart-healthy perks, new study suggests
TL;DR Summary
A Canadian 12-week trial with 74 overweight adults showed that three daily servings of full-fat dairy, across varied calorie targets, did not alter weight, body composition, or cholesterol. Those consuming more dairy had lower blood pressure and higher intakes of calcium, protein and vitamin D. The results support the dairy-matrix concept and align with updated USDA guidelines favoring full-fat dairy in moderation, though the study's small size and short duration warrant more research.
