21. Effect of dairy products consumption on heart health and cardio-metabolic risk factors

Le résumé fourni par la source

Milk and dairy products have been consumed for centuries around the world and are recommended for their health benefits. However, there are studies which associated dairy products with cardio metabolic diseases because of their fat content. Previous studies showed a positive effect of dairy consumption on lipid profiles, which may be owing to its ingredients, including minerals, proteins and fats. Nevertheless, some studies found an association between high fat dairies and cardiovascular diseases. The effect of dairy products on cardiovascular risk factors including lipid profiles, body weight and blood pressure depends on the fat content and the type of product (processed or fermented). There is evidence associating the consumption of dairy products with a favorable effect on blood pressure, weight control, and lipid profiles. Although it is not apparent which component of the dairy products could contribute to the positive effects and by which mechanism this occurs, consumption of these products, specially low fat dairies has been recommended to prevent cardio metabolic risk factors.
