20 May 2020 --- Consumption of at least two servings of dairy per day has been linked to lower risks of diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as the cluster of factors that heighten cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and metabolic syndrome. This is according to an international observational study, which tracked nearly 190,000 participants for an average of nine years. Notably, the associations were stronger for full-fat dairy products than for low-fat versions.
