How Different Dairy Types Affect Heart and Metabolic Health
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares how eating low-fat versus full-fat dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese) affects your cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, and overall heart health over 12 weeks. Researchers want to understand which type of dairy is better for your body's metabolism and cardiovascular risk.
