A nib of cheese a day keeps the heart disease away.
A recent analysis of more than 200,000 people showed that those who ate a little bit of cheese every day were less likely to develop heart disease compared to those who rarely or never ate it at all. The researchers from China and the Netherlands examined data compiled from 15 previous studies where most of the participants were tracked for at least 10 years.
Overall, those who ate more cheese had a 14% lower risk of developing heart disease and were 10% less likely to have a stroke than their cheese-averse peers. But experts warn that the findings were not linear — meaning the study does not advocate eating enormous quantities of cheese. People who seemed to have health benefits from cheese ate about 40 grams a day or, a square the size of a matchbook.
"This is not the same as eating a big slice of cheesy pizza every day," director of aortic surgery at Ichan School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center, Dr. Allan Stewart, who was not involved in the study, told Time. "(But the findings were) certainly different from what people might expect."
People are living longer but less-healthy lives Not Released (NR) The dairy product contains healthful ingredients like calcium, protein and probiotics, said the authors of a new study, published in the European Journal of Nutrition. (MAGONE/GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO) The dairy product contains healthful ingredients like calcium, protein and probiotics, said the authors of a new study, published in the European Journal of Nutrition. But cheese, like other milk-based products, contains high levels of saturated fat — which can cause high cholesterol and an increased risk of heart disease.
In the study, cheese was only found to have an association with lowered health risks, not a direct cause and effect. The link might be because people who eat cheese daily are already healthier or because they have disposable income, the researchers said. But the good might outweigh the bad with cheese.
"Cheese can be high in probiotics, which tend to put you in less of an inflammatory state," Stewart said. "There is some evidence that cheese — as a substitute for milk, for example — may actually have a protective effect on the heart. No one's saying you should definitely go out and eat 40 grams of cheese a day. But on the upside, a bit of cheese on a cracker doesn't sound unreasonable."
I confess. I’m a cheese addict.

Completely useless “study”. Waste of electrons.
Drawing any conclusions from it is foolish.
“New York State cheddar (Cabot brand preferred) plus Triscuits may be my favorite light meal”
My favorite cheese from NY State is Cuba White Cheddar — from the Southern Tier.
Don’t start on Bleu cheese! :)
I know a cheese shop that doesn’t have much cheese but is very clean.
Usually keep chunks of sharp cheddar and swiss in the fridge for a snack with crackers when evening hunger pangs tell me to top off....
Good because I love my cheese. :-)
New York State cheddar (Cabot brand preferred) plus Triscuits may be my favorite light meal, any time of the day.
OMG, we are Soul Mates!
Are you married? :-)
I hate the taste of cheese and cannot fathom why that crap has to be put on everything. Seems like every restaurant and fast food place has cheese on everything. Menus have a full list of hamburgers all with various cheeses.
And then some restaurants put the crap on top of salads!
Don’t know how many times I have sent food back that they completely ignored my “NO CHEESE” instructions.
I just bought some cheddar——I eat cheese every day,just because I like it.
I turned 85 in September.
Who knows??????????????????
.
C’mon, already! First eggs and cheese were killers, now they’re the good stuff?
I have not...will look tho...

There’s also another one, I don’t see listed....*Adirondack*...I LOVE it!
So forgive my ignorance: I thought cheddar was an english process...
I noticed they have an alpine cheddar...not sure how that works....
Cheese is a huge mystery to me: milk rennet or acid and time...yet so many different tastes....
