Dr. Mahshid Dehghan, leading author of the study said, “Our findings support that consumption of dairy products might be beneficial for mortality and cardiovascular disease, especially in low-income and middle-income countries where dairy consumption is much lower than in North America or Europe.”
He further added that more research is needed to understand why dairy might be associated with lower levels of cardiovascular disease is needed. However, it is believed that some saturated fats may be beneficial to cardiovascular health, and dairy products may also contain other potentially beneficial compounds, including specific amino acids, unsaturated fats, vitamin K1, and K2 and calcium.
The full finding of the study is published in the journal- The Lancet.
