The Claim
In Iranian adults followed for 10.6 years, total dairy consumption, including both high-fat and low-fat varieties, showed no statistically significant association with the risk of cardiovascular disease events, indicating that dairy intake levels within this population's range do not meaningfully alter cardiovascular disease risk.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Among Iranian adults followed for over 10 years, consuming dairy products including both high-fat and low-fat types was not linked to a change in the rate of cardiovascular disease events.

The fats and minerals in dairy products affect blood fat levels and artery health in ways that cancel each other out, so overall heart disease risk stays the same no matter how much dairy is eaten.
What the research says
1 studyIn Iran, researchers watched over 2,600 adults for more than 10 years and found that people who ate lots of dairy—like cheese, milk, and yogurt, whether full-fat or low-fat—didn’t have more heart problems than those who ate less. So dairy doesn’t seem to raise or lower heart disease risk.
