The Claim
Higher total dairy intake (more than two servings per day) is associated with a 16% lower risk of major cardiovascular events and a 17% lower risk of total mortality in adults aged 35–70 across 21 countries.
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.
Adults aged 35 to 70 who consume more than two servings of dairy per day have a 16% lower rate of major cardiovascular events and a 17% lower rate of death from any cause compared to those who consume less dairy, based on data from 21 countries.
See the scientific wording
Higher total dairy intake (more than two servings per day) is associated with a 16% lower risk of major cardiovascular events and a 17% lower risk of total mortality in adults aged 35–70 across 21 countries, suggesting that current dietary guidelines restricting dairy may need reevaluation in diverse populations.
Dairy consumption releases peptides and minerals that calm blood vessel inflammation and help blood vessels relax, which lowers blood pressure and prevents plaque buildup in arteries, reducing heart attacks and early death.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who ate more than two servings of dairy like milk or yogurt each day were less likely to have heart problems or die early, based on a huge study of over 136,000 people in 21 countries. This suggests that eating dairy might be healthier than some guidelines think.
