Harvard Data Links Modest Ice Cream Intake to Lower Diabetes Risk

A 2014 Harvard analysis of two long-term observational studies involving approximately 190,000 participants suggests that consuming small portions of ice cream weekly is associated with a lower statistical risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. While the findings highlight a potential link between dairy fat and metabolic health, researchers emphasize that the study is observational and cannot prove causation. Experts caution that these results do not justify unlimited consumption, noting that other dairy products like yogurt may offer more consistent health benefits, and that artificial stabilizers in some frozen desserts should be avoided.

Tariffs Stall Canadian Dairy Exports, Raising Milk Dump Risks

US tariffs of 50% on about $20 billion of Canadian goods, including dairy, have largely halted cross-border sales and unsettled Canada’s supply-managed dairy system. If US demand remains weak, processors may cut orders, forcing farmers to dump milk or reduce herds. Canada has retaliated with its own tariffs, while economists warn of near-term pain and higher prices as exporters seek new markets, underscoring dairy’s vulnerability in a tariff war and the challenges of reconfiguring perishable supply chains quickly.

Dairy tied to higher prostate cancer risk; plant-based diets offer protection

A Morning Consult survey for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine found that only 20% of U.S. men know dairy is linked to higher prostate cancer risk, but 66% would consider avoiding dairy after learning of the link. Prior research ties higher dairy intake to greater prostate cancer risk and mortality, while plant-based diets are associated with lower risk and better outcomes, including a 35% lower risk for vegans in the Adventist Health Study-2 and substantial reductions in progression and recurrence for those with plant-heavy diets. The findings underscore the need for better nutrition counseling by healthcare professionals and support for labeling dairy products about cancer risk.

Chobani pumps $1.2B into Allentown dairy plant, pledging 900 jobs

Chobani will invest about $1.2 billion to build a 1.5-million-square-foot dairy production facility in Allentown, PA, creating roughly 900 jobs over the next five years and producing nearly 3 billion pounds of milk annually.

Tariffs Escalate Between US and Canada, Raising Prices on Everyday Goods

The US-Canada tariff dispute worsens as Canada plans 25%–50% tariffs on about 900 US goods, including toilet paper, retaliating for US tariffs; the US also targets Canadian liquor, dairy, and autos. The conflict highlights deep economic links and could push up prices on everyday items, though officials insist consumer impact will be limited.

Protein Showdown: Cottage Cheese vs Greek Yogurt

Both cottage cheese and Greek yogurt are protein-rich staples, but dietitians note key distinctions: Greek yogurt typically has more protein and a thicker texture, while cottage cheese can be lower in sugar and calories depending on fat content; choosing plain varieties and aligning with goals like satiety and bone/metabolism support is advised.

Premiers back path in Canada-U.S. talks as dairy tariffs linger

Quebec’s premier says Canada-U.S. trade talks are far from finished as Premier Tim Houston and two others voiced support for the negotiating direction, though details remain fuzzy. The emerging deal reportedly aims to end some U.S. tariffs on agriculture, but Canada’s dairy supply-management system remains a sticking point. Ontario’s Doug Ford has not yet weighed in, and Ontario’s LCBO has played into past friction over U.S. alcohol. With the specifics of any agreement still unclear, key terms—especially dairy access—continue to be debated.

Great Value Crowned Best Cottage Cheese in Taste Test

Food Republic tester Becki Ledford ranked 13 cottage cheese brands by texture, moisture, and tang, crowning Walmart's Great Value as the #1 choice for its creamy, balanced bite; the piece compares curd size, dressing, and salt across brands like Nancy’s, Trader Joe’s, Good Culture, Mayfield, and Daisy, noting that texture and moisture often trump fat percentage in overall enjoyment.

Full-fat dairy may offer heart-healthy perks, new study suggests

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.

New study questions the health downsides of full-fat dairy

University of Toronto researchers studied 74 adults with overweight/obesity over 12 weeks across three dairy patterns (low-dairy calorie-restricted, three daily servings of full-fat dairy, and three daily servings of full-fat dairy with unrestricted intake). They found no meaningful differences in weight, body composition, metabolism, or cholesterol between the low-dairy and three-dairy groups, and higher dairy intake was linked to better blood pressure and higher intake of calcium, protein, and vitamin D. The findings challenge the conventional push toward low-fat dairy and support viewing dairy as a whole food matrix, consistent with prior work suggesting dairy fat is not inherently harmful.

Full-Fat Dairy May Fit Diets Without Weight Gain or Cholesterol Spikes, New Study Finds

A University of Toronto study followed 74 overweight adults for 12 weeks and found that three daily servings of full-fat dairy did not cause weight gain or cholesterol increases; participants even showed lower blood pressure and higher intake of calcium, protein, and vitamin D, supporting a 'dairy matrix' view that the health effects come from the whole dairy structure rather than isolated nutrients.

Full-fat dairy may fit health goals after all, study finds

A 12-week Canadian study with 74 adults found that three daily servings of full-fat dairy did not worsen weight, body fat, energy metabolism, or cholesterol and actually improved blood pressure and intake of calcium, protein, and vitamin D. The results support the “dairy matrix” idea—that the food’s structure matters—and suggest dairy can be included in healthy diets (especially for older adults) without increasing risk from saturated fat; the study compared low-dairy, energy-neutral with dairy, and unrestricted diets to show effects beyond single-nutrient guidance.

Study Challenges Low-Fat Dairy Rule: Full-Fat Dairy Safe at Three Servings Daily

A 12-week randomized trial with 74 adults who are overweight or obese found that three daily servings of full-fat dairy did not affect weight, body composition, energy metabolism, or blood lipids, and even coincided with lower blood pressure and higher intakes of calcium, protein, and vitamin D; findings challenge decades of low-fat dairy guidance and support viewing dairy as a food matrix rather than a single nutrient.
