Canadian Trial: Three Daily Servings of Full-Fat Dairy Didn't Raise Body Fat or Cholesterol

A 12-week randomized trial out of the University of Toronto had adults with overweight or obesity add three servings of full-fat dairy a day (whole milk, Greek yogurt and cheese sticks). A third group cut calories and kept dairy to one low-fat or plant-based serving. Body fat, lean mass, waist size, blood sugar and cholesterol didn't change measurably in any group. The group that ate the dairy freely with no calorie advice didn't eat much more than the group told to budget for it. The researchers credit the fat and protein for keeping people full.

A grain of salt: it was small and short (COVID cut it down), everybody was also following Canada's Food Guide (whole grains and all), and Dairy Farmers of Canada helped fund it. It's no carnivore study. Still, it's one more that doesn't fit the "full-fat dairy makes you fat" line.

Where does dairy land for you? Butter and cheese every day, or did you cut it back to break a stall?
