3. Your only source of dairy is the milk found in your coffee
Over the past few years, the vast majority of dairy products have gotten a bad rap, because some experts said that they tend to raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. Fortunately, recent studies are debunking that idea. For example, a review of studies published in the journal Foods drew the “resounding conclusion” that dairy products have a neutral or positive effect on heart health.
Another study found in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reached a quite similar conclusion. Previous research found that eating foods that are high in calcium can increase HDL cholesterol and decrease total and LDL cholesterol concentrations. And, as we all know, dairy products are the richest source of calcium with hard cheese having the highest concentration levels.
