For decades we have been warned that eating too much dairy such as milk, butter and cheese could raise our risk of serious conditions such as heart disease and strokes — only for more recent studies to suggest they might actually protect us from these by lowering our risk of developing high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.
So where does the truth lie — and why can’t the scientists agree?

Some researchers say saturated fat has been unfairly demonised. Arne Astrup, a professor in the department of nutrition, exercise and sports at Copenhagen University, argues that focusing on saturated fat alone ‘does not make sense’ as there are different types of saturated fatty acids which all have different effects on the body.
‘The effect is dependent on the food source it exists in — the effect of saturated fat is modified by all the other nutrients in the food,’ he wrote in 2019.
It is the overconsumption of sugar and carbohydrates that causes inflammation in the body which leads to many of the disease outcomes unfairly attributed to animal fat consumption. The food pyramid that is advocated for by the government in the US is what is leading to the obesity crisis and poor health.
Keep this in mind when so-called “scientists” tell you about man-made climate change and poorly tested and rushed vaccines.
