Full Fat Dairy's Long Awaited Redemption For decades, Canadians and people worldwide were led to believe that low fat dairy was essential for a healthier lifestyle.
The advice, born from concerns over saturated fat, had been drilled into the collective consciousness: choose fat free or low fat dairy products to reduce cardiovascular disease risk and other chronic conditions.
However, new research suggests this conventional wisdom may have been misplaced. A recent University of Toronto study led by Professor Harvey Anderson found that full fat dairy can be a healthy part of one's diet.
