Dairy consumption is associated with better cardiovascular health, obesity, weight loss, and diabetes outcomes.

◐Partially SupportedFermented dairy food intake is associated with decreased risk of bladder, colorectal, and esophageal cancers.

◐Partially SupportedDairy fat is an unrivaled source of unique fat-soluble vitamins and fatty acids for humans.

◐Partially SupportedCow's milk is nutritionally superior to plant-based milks which can contain phytic acid, oxalates, and digestive enzyme inhibitors.

◐Partially SupportedIn post-menopausal women with low total fat intake, greater saturated fat intake is associated with less coronary atherosclerosis progression, while carbohydrate intake is associated with greater progression.

◐Partially SupportedCirculating trans palmitoleic acid, a marker for dairy intake, is associated with lower insulin resistance, less atherogenic dyslipidemia, and lower incident diabetes.

◐Partially SupportedMilk fat biomarkers like trans-palmitoleic acid are associated with a lower risk of heart attack.

◐Partially SupportedWomen who consumed more dairy had less progression of cardiovascular disease in one observational study.

◐Partially SupportedDairy consumption appears to be beneficial for metabolic health, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.

◐Partially SupportedSaturated fat from dairy, such as butter, is not leading to heart attacks and may be protective for humans.

◐Partially SupportedOverall intake of dairy products was not associated with mortality in Australian adults, and full-fat dairy intake may be beneficial for cardiovascular mortality.
