Remember When They Said Fat Was Bad For Us? Well Science Just Proved Otherwise

In case you are a person, who appreciates some double cream brie cheese, yearns for yogurt, or eats butter by the bucketload, chances are you’ve been told you’re on a one-way trip to getting a heart attack. It is common opinion that foods high in fat will, eventually, lead to clogged arteries, or many other cardiovascular diseases.

That might be true for foods high in saturated fats, although there is some evidence to suggest that this could turn out to be nothing more than a popular myth, since the rules are different speaking of foods with high levels of dairy fat.

Turns out, foods high in dairy fat could, in fact, be good for your health, in accordance with a recent study published in the PLOS Medicine journal. The study held in Sweden aimed to find out the correlation between dairy fat and cardiovascular disease. A team of researchers analyzed a sample of 4,150 participants with a median age of 60.5-years old. The team of scientists specifically chose Sweden, due to the fact that it’s a country that has a high production output of dairy products, along with a high consumption rate.

The study was concentrated on a particular fatty acid, 15.0, checking how much of it was present in the blood of the participants. The mentioned research ran for an average of 16 years, and wanted to see how many participants would suffer from heart attacks, strokes, or even worse, died.

In the end, 578 participants suffered from cardiovascular disease (CVD) and 676 died. However, the researchers accounted for contributing factors that can lead to CVD, such as age and other dietary habits. The study ultimately found that elevated 15:0, higher levels of the fatty acid consumed via dairy products, ‘was associated with lower incident CVD risk.’

Thus, the idea that fatty dairy products can lead to heart attacks, could be merely a myth.

Nevertheless, you shouldn’t just go and assume that the Swedes are simply lucky, since the researchers combined their findings with those from 17 other studies working on similar effects, with participants coming from countries including the USA, UK and Denmark, which demonstrated similar results. According to the press, lead researcher, Kathy Trieu, made a statement on the findings, saying:

“Our study suggests that cutting down on dairy fat or avoiding dairy altogether might not be the best choice for heart health. It is important to remember that although dairy foods can be rich in saturated fat, they are also rich in many other nutrients and can be a part of a healthy diet.”

The researcher then noted that while these findings suggest dairy fats aren’t necessarily so bad for us after all, they do still pale in comparison to ‘healthy’ fats found in other foods: “However, other fats like those found in seafood, nuts, and non-tropical vegetable oils can have greater health benefits than dairy fats.”

In accordance with the research team, their study demonstrated that ‘increasing evidence that the health impact of dairy foods is more dependent on the type (e.g., cheese, yoghurt, milk, and butter) rather than the fat content, which has raised doubts if avoidance of dairy fats is beneficial for cardiovascular health.’
