 Guest: Richard S. Bruno, Ph.D., RD.

The role of dairy foods—particularly full-fat varieties—in a healthy dietary pattern has been a subject of controversy for decades. Health recommendations have traditionally emphasized non-fat and low-fat dairy options to minimize energy (calorie) and saturated fat intake.
 

 Topics Discussed:

• The challenges inherent in conducting food-based research.
• The controversial history of research on dairy foods.
• Emerging paradigm shifts in scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of dairy foods, including full-fat varieties.
• Practical considerations for incorporating this nutrient-rich, low-cost food matrix into a healthy dietary pattern to promote cardiometabolic health.
