Are Butter and Dairy Back in 2017? A Look at the Latest Research

Butter and dairy are making a comeback on some plates but a review of the literature indicates that it’s still not as healthy a choice as low fat alternatives or abstaining entirely. In several studies, butter consumption was associated with higher LDL or bad cholesterol rise. In another study, cheese and butter were correlated with a higher risk of Type 2 Diabetes, although there is a corresponding study that refutes that data. Studies on food intake and disease are difficult to quantify. But for now, the AHA and American College of Cardiology suggest people refrain.

Key Takeaways:

  • Non fermented milk intake is bad for health like milk
  • Butter is bad for health because it’s can make cholesterol high and risk of stroke and heart disease
  • Whole grain fish fermented milk like cheese are low fat intake

“In a group of over 42,000 men and women in Iran studied for 11 years, consumption of low-fat dairy, especially low-fat yogurt and cheese, was associated with reduced mortality and heart disease risk, while greater intake of high-fat dairy and milk was not associated with these benefits.”
