Total and Full-Fat, but Not Low-Fat, Dairy Product Intakes are Inversely Associated with Metabolic Syndrome in Adults
2016 Jan The Journal of Nutrition Drehmer M, Pereira MA, Schmidt MI, Alvim S, Lotufo PA, Luft VC, et al.
The study concludes that there is a graded inverse association between Metabolic Risk Score (MetScore) and total dairy intake as well as full-fat dairy intake, after adjusting for various factors. However, this association is not observed with low-fat dairy intake. The inverse associations with MetScore were no longer present after additional adjustments for dairy-derived saturated fatty acids, suggesting that the beneficial effects of total and full-fat dairy on metabolic syndrome may be mediated by these fatty acids. The findings do not support dietary recommendations to avoid full-fat dairy intake.

Systematic Review Breast Cancer Dairy
The researchers conducted a systematic literature review where they scrutinized various databases for studies published in English up to January 2022. They began with 82 articles, but only 18 met their pre-set inclusion criteria. The studies varied in type - nine were prospective, seven were retrospective, and two were cross-sectional.
The results indicated an inverse relationship between dairy consumption and the risk of developing breast cancer. However, the effect of different types of dairy products and the exact dose-response relationships on breast cancer risk remains unclear. Nevertheless, this review provides a foundation for considering dairy products in preventive strategies to reduce breast cancer occurrence.

Clinical Study
The research engaged 2071 participants aged between 26 to 36 years old to report their dietary behaviors like how often they removed visible fat from meat, their intake of low-fat dairy products, and how frequently they used different cooking fats, from 2004 to 2006. The participants also had their blood pressure, weight, and height measured, while a fasting blood sample was taken to create a continuous metabolic syndrome (cMetSyn) score using sex-specific principal component analysis applied to normalized risk factors. This cMetSyn score is designed to depict higher risks with higher scores.
The findings showed that the mean cMetSyn score had positive correlations with those participants who consumed low-fat oily dressings and used canola or sunflower oil for cooking. Interestingly, the researchers found no significant associations between the cMetSyn score and the behaviors of trimming fat from meat, cooking with olive oil or butter, or taking low-fat dairy products. This indicates that metabolic risk among young adults does not necessarily correlate with compliance to traditional fat-related dietary recommendations.

Interestingly this study found that "none of the lipid parameters was significantly associated with the consumption of high-fat dairy products". —Jinnan C 17 Dec 2023
