Doctors and Health Experts Are Changing Their Minds About Whole Milk and Cheese
— By Neal Templin | September 06, 2024 | Barron’s
For more than 40 years, the general medical advice has been to avoid full-fat milk products because they are high in saturated fat, the unhealthy fat associated with red meat.
Some studies published in the past decade have found evidence to the contrary. Cheese and yogurt made from whole milk, as well as whole milk itself, may be more beneficial than previously thought.
The changing stance on dairy is particularly important for seniors, who are more prone to heart disease, stroke, and diabetes—the very diseases that milk consumption may help. Beyond that, because seniors digest protein more poorly, they are advised to increase their intake of protein. Dairy is packed with protein and calcium, which helps seniors retain healthy muscles and strong bones. And milk products are relatively cheap, widely available, and easy to consume.
Even for people who can’t tolerate dairy, there is now an array of lactose-free products that cause fewer digestive problems.
One study, published in 2016, found that consuming milk and dairy products was associated with a reduced risk of childhood obesity, improved body composition and weight loss in adults, and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly stroke.
“The totality of available scientific evidence supports that intake of milk and dairy products contribute to meet nutrient recommendations, and may protect against the most prevalent chronic diseases, whereas very few adverse effects have been reported,” the study concluded.
Growing Appetite

Other studies, such as this one from 2018, found that fermented products like yogurt or cheese bring the most health benefits. “There appear to be metabolic benefits, particularly the risk for Type 2 diabetes, that appear to be reduced by consumption of fermented dairy,” explains endocrinologist Dr. Ronald Krauss, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, who is an expert on blood lipids.
Even butter and cream in the amounts consumed by most people don’t cause health issues, says Krauss. He does, however, advise his patients with high LDL cholesterol levels, the bad kind of cholesterol that leads to heart disease, to avoid dairy fat. “I do tell people with high LDL to try to lower all types of saturated fat, including dairy,” he says.
There is a debate in the scientific community over dairy fat. Dariush Mozaffarian, a Tufts University professor and cardiologist, says that many nutrition experts still recommend against eating full-fat dairy, as do the official U.S. dietary guidelines.
But he adds that there is less debate among those like himself who research dairy fat. “Many scientists who study dairy fat and dairy foods have come to the realization that dairy fat isn’t harmful and may even be healthy,” says Mozaffarian.
He wrote a paper six years ago that looked at 16 studies around the world that measured the levels of blood biomarkers produced by consuming dairy products. “We found that higher levels of dairy fat biomarkers were significantly associated with lower risk of diabetes—a 20% to 30% lower risk,” he says.
Mozaffarian says that the scientific consensus on milk consumption will shift over the coming years, and he is confident that the dietary guidelines will be changed to reflect the growing body of research that has found dairy fat to be healthy.
During the 1970s, nutrition experts became increasingly concerned that consumption of saturated fat was leading to high cholesterol levels and heart disease. Saturated fat makes up a high share of dairy fat. So, as diet experts targeted saturated fat, it made sense that dairy fat would find itself in the crosshairs.
Now, researchers say that all saturated fat isn’t alike, and there may be factors that make dairy fat less worrisome. For starters, it comes with a milk fat globule membrane that changes how the body responds to saturated fats, says UCSF’s Krauss.
Fermented dairy products carry extra health benefits, research consistently finds. They contain probiotics that help the digestive system work better while boosting your immune system. Having the right bacteria in your digestive system has been theorized to help prevent everything from diabetes to dementia.
Fermentation also produces Vitamin K2, which studies have found both prevents diabetes and helps diabetics manage the disease, according to Mozaffarian.
Consuming dairy fat can raise levels of LDL cholesterol in your blood. But even here, there is some nuance, experts say. The most harmful type of LDL is the smaller particles; dairy appears to boost the production of the bigger-particle LDL.
“Dairy fat does raise LDL cholesterol,” Mozaffarian says. “It does so mostly by changing the size of the particles. Dairy fat also increases HDL cholesterol and lowers triglycerides.” HDL cholesterol is the so-called good cholesterol that is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, while high triglycerides are linked to a higher risk.
Mozaffarian says a bigger culprit in heart disease is the consumption of refined carbohydrates: “Compared with extra virgin olive oil or avocados or nuts, butter is a worse choice. But compared with the white bread you’re buttering, it’s probably a better choice.”

SBG characters getting caught making out with their s/o
warnings: making out, bad grammar, swearing
A/N: If you haven’t read part I, go read that as well!! :D and also if you want a part III with any other characters i’ll make one (I won’t do Logan cuz tbh I think he just wouldn’t do that kind of stuff)
Part I Part II
Ben Clark
。 ⋆ ⋆ ˚。⋆ ⋆ ˚。⋆୨♡୧⋆ ˚。⋆ ⋆ ˚⋆⋆ 。
。 ⋆ ⋆ ˚。⋆ ⋆ ˚。⋆୨♡୧⋆ ˚。⋆ ⋆ ˚⋆⋆ 。
Yall would be at his house in his room when Aiden just randomly barges in cuz Aiden is just wild
You would have to be the one to initiate the make out probably cuz I believe he’s pretty shy when doing these things
You would guide him but once he gets it it’s like he is EXPERIENCED
Heaven fr
You would have music in the background
I really think ben would be into like System of a down or korn
You wouldn’t hear him over the music so um that would he a bit awkward
Ben would probably notice and quickly pull away
You would just look at Aiden with a pissed expression and flip him off haha
Yall would NOT be doing that ever again (at least not at his house)
Ashlyn Banner

。 ⋆ ⋆ ˚。⋆ ⋆ ˚。⋆୨♡୧⋆ ˚。⋆ ⋆ ˚⋆⋆ 。
Yall would definitely not get caught tbh
She had great hearing after all
She would hear the person coming 5 minutes early HAHA
Would just go and lock the door like “bitch you ain’t disturbing me and my s/o”
Let’s say she didn’t have her super hearing and blah blah blah yeah how would that go?
She would yell at the person tbh and then she would just huff when they leave and ramble to you on how stupid that person is
“I swear some people need to learn how to knock like it’s a great invention.”
“Calm down honey it’s—”
“Don’t fucking honey me.”
“You know you love it.”
tsundere-ish type
IDK WHY SHE JUST GIVES THAT KIND OF VIBEEE
Would definitely be at least a bit of embarrassed
Just give her some kisses and call her pet names I believe she would melt haha
Barron
(if anyone knows his last name let me know)

OKAY YALL HEAR ME OUT
Ik he bullies Logan but his design is just 🙏🛐
On my knees fr (i might have a type)
Anyway! You guys would be somewhere at the arcade with his friends probably and he would just call you to the back of the arcade where ppl smoke
He would flirt with you sm, kissing from your forehead, down to your jawline and then neck
Tbh I think he would be a bit experienced with this shit
Would be a pretty good kisser like a solid 8/10
Would fr pin you against a wall and all that kind of shit when one of his friends wanted to go smoke and saw you guys
Barron would fr kiss you deeper like he ain’t ashamed of you tf
Would just flip the guy off while kissing you
His friend knew better then to stay and quickly went back inside, deciding it was a good day to save his lungs LMAO
“Barron um, he.. kind of saw us?”
“What? Am I not allowed to make out with my s/o?”
“But I thought you—”
“I’m not ashamed of you, you’re gorgeous~ Let them be jealous.”
Barron you fucking bi—
He would rub it in when you guys come back to the group
He have your hand in his or a hand on your waist
Would kiss your cheek in front of his friends (would fr be smirking at the mf that interrupted you)
Just Barron doing Barron things
