Project code: MRI-PBE-08-KA-925-1010
Contract period: 01.03.2014 - 31.10.2014
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment

Preparation of a scientific report on health aspects of milk and dairy and their macronutrients fat, protein and lactose, mostly based on current publications of the past ten years, with particular emphasis on meta-analyses. Epidemiologic findings suggest that the habitual consumption of milk and dairy is either neutral with respect to the risk of several diseases (like CVD, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer), or is associated with a somewhat decreased risk. Only for prostate cancer there may be an increased risk with a very high intake. Beyond that there are no unfavorable effects. Milk and dairy are useful foods on their own and particularly as a component of a prudent diet pattern.
