Researchers found that people can consume three daily servings of full-fat dairy without adversely affecting body weight, body composition, energy metabolism, or blood lipid levels. For years, people scanning the dairy aisle have often been steered toward skim milk and reduced-fat products, largely because full-fat dairy contains saturated fat. Yet the health effects of dairy may depend on more than the amount of fat listed on the label. Human research, however, has not consistently shown that eating full-fat dairy leads to worse health outcomes, Anderson says.
