What about the studies that show cheese has neutral or positive health effects?
Everything we eat has an opportunity cost. Every time we put something in our mouths, it’s a lost opportunity to put something even healthier in our mouth.
Just because study is industry-funded doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad science, though. Check out How the Dairy Industry Designs Misleading Studies (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-the-dairy-industry-designs-misleading-studies).
Here is the series I mentioned in the video:
• The Saturated Fat Studies: Set Up to Fail (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-saturated-fat-studies-set-up-to-fail/)
• The Saturated Fat Studies: Buttering Up the Public (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-saturated-fat-studies-buttering-up-the-public/)
If we don’t eat dairy, though, what about osteoporosis? Check out: Is Milk Good for Our Bones? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-milk-good-for-our-bones).
