Happy Meal: Is It Time To Switch Back To Whole Milk And Real Eggs?
September 19, 2018
While some of us never abandoned our childhood meals, many have silently suffered at breakfast with skim milk and egg whites for way too many years. We’ve been told these dietary changes are necessary for a healthier way of life- yet somehow, we still pine away for that creamy whole milk. Well, some new evidence has just arrived that may bolster your drive to return to the days of yore. New research just published in The Lancet provides an intriguing association between dairy intake and lower risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in 21 countries. The study provides a more complex picture of the potential health benefits of whole-fat dairy, including milk and yogurt. And while this doesn’t give you permission to run out and indulge in a pint of premium high-fat ice cream, it does provide encouraging evidence that there very well may be a role for whole-fat dairy products in your daily diet. So reach for the creamer and take a look here. And as for whether whole eggs are healthy for you? It’s a battle of the experts on that score.
