Abstract

Dairy is important in many people’s diets. Although all dairy products are made from cow’s milk, various dairy products are made by different processes. This means that they can end up having different nutrients and properties. Researchers and nutritionists usually group all dairy as one food group, but this might miss information about the health effects of eating different dairy products. Immune cells are important to protect us when we get sick. Sometimes, immune cells can be turned on for the wrong reasons and cause too much inflammation, which can lead to diseases. We studied immune cells from people who ate meals with either butter, cheese, whipped cream, or sour cream. After eating cheese and sour cream, immune cells showed fewer signs of inflammatory processes than after eating butter and whipped cream. This may mean that cheese and sour cream could be healthier than butter and whipped cream.
