A groundbreaking study led by Harvey Anderson, a professor at the University of Toronto, has challenged decades of common knowledge linking full-fat dairy to weight gain and cardiovascular conditions. Contrary to previous beliefs, researchers found that eating three servings of full-fat dairy per day did not negatively affect body weight, body composition, energy metabolism, or blood lipid levels. The study, published in The Journal of Nutrition, took place between September 2020 and February 2023, involving 74 adults with overweight or obesity who were divided into three dietary groups. The findings indicate that full-fat dairy could potentially offer some health benefits, such as improvements in blood pressure and better intake of calcium, protein, and vitamin D. However, the research cites food guides in Canada and the United States recommending three servings of low- or no-fat dairy a day for adults, highlighting that these countries are not recognizing recent evidence supporting full-fat dairy's potential benefits. The study adds to growing evidence that challenges the nutritional logic behind avoiding full-fat dairy due to its saturated fat content, which was previously believed to raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk. The findings suggest that the health effects of a food may depend on how its components interact rather than simply on the amount of one nutrient it contains, implying that full-fat dairy should be reconsidered as part of a healthy diet.
