Recent Research Shows Dairy To Be A Healthy Choice

Despite several previous claims that dairy could be unhealthy, continued scientific research shows otherwise. Multiple studies, including several from 2010, have shown no correlation between dairy products and an increased risk of heart related problems. A 2010 study from Sweden showed a 25% decline in the risk of death from cancer and heart disease when consuming more calcium than the recommended daily amount. Research in Australia supports those findings with a study that found a 69% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease in subjects consuming the highest amounts of full-fat dairy products compared with those that consumed the lowest amounts. There is also good news for people on diets as studies have shown that adequate amounts of calcium may help reduce the feeling of hunger and lead to higher weight loss.
