Aged cheeses are generally easier to digest than other dairy products for individuals who do not tolerate dairy well.

◐Partially SupportedSaturated fat in dairy may be cardio-protective.

◐Partially SupportedConsuming dairy products is beneficial for human health and superior to plant-based milk alternatives.

◐Partially SupportedWhen including dairy, preference should be given to raw milk, cheese made from raw dairy, and kefir fermented from raw milk.

◐Partially SupportedSome individuals report that raw milk improves their lactose intolerance.

◐Partially SupportedFor every pound of meat consumed on an animal-based diet, approximately one gram of calcium is needed to balance the gram of phosphorus present in the meat.

◐Partially SupportedDairy contains unique nutrients like calcium and other components that contribute to overall balance and may improve antioxidant status.

◐Partially SupportedMilk contains odd-chain fatty acids and riboflavin.

◐Partially SupportedSome cheeses, like Ybg or Emmenthaler, are cultured with specific bacteria that increase their Vitamin K2 content.

◐Partially SupportedGreek yogurt has more protein and potentially less lactose than regular yogurt.

◐Partially SupportedDairy milk provides bioavailable proteins like whey protein, which are essential for muscle building and recovery.

◐Partially SupportedVitamin K2, found almost exclusively in animal products (unless consuming natto), is consistently associated with improved cardiovascular outcomes.

◐Partially SupportedSoft cheeses like Camembert or Brie may contain more lactose than aged cheeses and could trigger lactose intolerance symptoms.

◐Partially SupportedYogurt, fermented for a shorter time at a higher temperature, contains about 4-6g of lactose per 8 ounces.

◐Partially SupportedConsuming calcium-rich dairy products with red meat can mitigate iron absorption, which may be beneficial for individuals who avidly absorb iron and monitor their ferritin levels.

◐Partially SupportedCow's milk contains approximately 12g of lactose per 8 ounces, while goat's milk contains about 9-11g per 8 ounces.
