A study conducted by the University of Toronto has questioned long – standing advice on avoiding high – fat milk products because of fear of weight gain and increased cholesterol.
The research included 74 overweight adults or obesity who were monitored for a period of 12 weeks.
The results showed that people who consumed three whole – fat milk products a day did not gain more weight and that there was no increase in cholesterol compared with those who consumed smaller amounts.
Moreover, the group that consumed more milk products had higher intake of calcium, protein, and vitamin D. Researchers also noted improved blood pressure in these participants.
University of Toronto nutrition professor Harvey Anderson explained that milk products contain proteins and other nutrients that affect the way the organism processes fat.
However, researchers point out that research had limited numbers of participants and lasted only three months, so wider studies are needed to understand the long – term impact of consuming these products.
Meanwhile, experts continue to recommend a varied diet and moderate consumption of food products.
