Is Cheese Good for You? Cheddar, Gouda, Brie, Gorgonzola, Parmesan. There’s a tempting type for every taste, and recent research shows that all of them can be part of a healthy diet.

Cheese is rich and creamy, and it’s irresistible on a cracker, paired with a selection of fresh fruit, or sprinkled over a bowl of chili. There are many delicious reasons to love cheese, and Americans really do love it. The per capita consumption is 40 pounds a year, or a little over 1.5 ounces a day.

As much as we love cheese, though, we’re a little afraid of it. When people talk about their fondness for cheese, it’s often in a guilty, confessional way, like “Cheese is my weakness.”

But “cheese is packed with nutrients like protein, calcium, and phosphorus, and can serve a healthy purpose in the diet,” says Lisa Young, RD, an adjunct professor of nutrition at New York University­. So if Stilton makes you swoon or you always want more Parm on your pasta, know this: Research shows that even full-fat cheese ­won’t necessarily make you gain weight or give you a heart attack. It seems that cheese doesn’t raise or reduce your risk for chronic diseases, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and some studies show it might even be protective.

Forget about pepper sauce, Cheese, I put that s**t on everything.

Cheese complements just about anything like nothing else does.

Or you could just have some smoked gouda with a glass of red wine

Translation: no one besides the article author is afraid of cheese. Not even Limburger.

If the government says they’re bad for you then I believe that it’s good!

I’m Italian by heritage and deem cheese and wine good for you!

Cabot seriously sharp, white Chedder is the best. Kroger stopped carrying all Cabot cheese. I can’t imagine why. My son buys me the giant, well large, block from Sam’s Club.
