Cheese and fermented milk products

In some circles I'm known as the "cheese man", but in reality I don't eat quite as much cheese as is commonly believed. However, I certainly like cheese and other milk products. It turns out that cheese and fermented milk products might be protective against heart disease, especially in women. Take a look at these three studies:

• Biomarkers of milk fat and the risk of myocardial infarction in men and women

• Estimated intake of milk fat is negatively associated with cardiovascular risk factors

• Stroke and plasma markers of milk fat intake

So, go eat your cheese, and yogourt, and kefir!
