Does cheese make you fat? Apparently not, and I’m not just referring to skim cheeses. On the contrary. A daily consumption of various types of cheeses and dairy products was associated not only with lower cholesterol, but also with lower BMI and blood pressure in 1,500 participants in an Irish study. 

The study joins the others who are redeeming this important food from the demonization of recent decades: considered a food whose fats raised cholesterol (because it is partly saturated) as well as a food too caloric to be part of a healthy diet, cheese in recent years instead it has received a lot of approval from the scientific community. After discovering that some of the fatty acids in cheese actually help metabolism ( here the study), now it turns out that cheese would be good for all ages.

The participants in the Irish study ate cheese several times a day for four days in a row: the cholesterol parameters did not change negatively, nor was there a change in weight or body fat in four days but a positive change in the decrease. blood pressure and bad cholesterol.

However, there is an anomaly that the researchers have not been able to explain well : it seems that the effects of cheese are positive depending on the food pattern (i.e. the typical diet followed daily), and that the lipid profile of the blood worsens. if the diet is too high in carbohydrates.
Therefore, the recommendations remain valid that, if you eat high quantities of carbohydrates, it is better to keep the quantities of dietary fat low: it does not mean giving up cheese, but choosing skimmed products.
