Higher Dairy Intake Linked to Lower CV Risk

Consuming more dairy is associated with lower risk for cardiovascular events and mortality, according to an international, industry-supported study in the Lancet.
Over 130,000 people aged 35 to 70 free of cardiovascular disease at baseline completed food-frequency questionnaires. During a median 9 years' follow-up, 8% died or had a major cardiovascular event, the primary composite outcome.
After multivariable adjustment, eating more than two dairy servings daily was associated with lower risk for the composite outcome, compared with no dairy intake (hazard ratio, 0.84). Low-fat and whole-fat dairy had similar effects. More than one serving of milk or yogurt — but not butter or cheese — were each associated with significantly reduced risk for the primary outcome.
The researchers conclude, "Our study suggests that consumption of dairy products should not be discouraged and perhaps should even be encouraged in low-income and middle-income countries where dairy consumption is low."
