Dairy Milk Shows Edge in Bone Health Debate
New research is adding fresh perspective to the ongoing dairy versus plant-based nutrition debate, with scientists reporting that cow’s milk may provide advantages for bone health compared to some plant-based alternatives. A recent review by researchers at Edith Cowan University in Australia found that cow’s milk offers benefits for bone strength and nutrient absorption due…
Full-Fat Dairy Study Challenges Long-Held Nutrition Beliefs
A new Canadian study from the University of Toronto is challenging long-standing dietary recommendations that favor low-fat dairy products. The 12-week study involving 74 adults with overweight or obesity found that consuming three daily servings of full-fat dairy did not lead to increases in body weight, body fat, cholesterol levels, insulin resistance, or adverse blood…

Dairy Cows Could Revolutionize Insulin Production
A groundbreaking biotechnology innovation could transform the future of insulin manufacturing, with researchers exploring the use of genetically engineered dairy cows to produce human insulin directly in milk. Scientists believe the approach could offer a scalable and potentially more affordable alternative to conventional insulin production methods, which currently rely on genetically modified bacteria or yeast…
Dairy Trans Fats Not Linked to Higher Disease Risk
A new scientific review has found that naturally occurring trans fats present in dairy products do not appear to be associated with an increased risk of heart disease or type 2 diabetes, challenging long-standing concerns that all trans fats have similar health effects. Researchers noted that naturally occurring ruminant trans fats found in milk, cheese,…
Natural Dairy Trans Fats May Not Raise Heart Risk
A new study led by researchers at the University of Reading has found that naturally occurring trans fats in dairy products may not increase the risk of heart disease or type 2 diabetes, challenging long-standing concerns surrounding dairy fat consumption. The research, published in the journal Nutrition Research, reviewed evidence from 10 randomized controlled trials…
Poor Milk Quality Exposed in Dairy Value Chain Study
A recent study published in Scientific Reports has revealed serious concerns over raw milk quality across the dairy value chain in Mekelle City, Ethiopia, highlighting significant risks to food safety and farmer returns. The research analyzed 120 raw milk samples collected from dairy farms (80), vendors (20), and cafeterias (20) between December 2023 and June…
