Dairy UK defends nutritious benefits of cheese

摘要

Hollowing publication of research in the US by a university suggesting that meat and cheese posed significant health risks to people over 50, Dr Judith Bryans, chief executive of Dalry UK, sald: "Dalry products form an important part of a healthy and nutritious diet and lifestyle and this has been evidenced over the years by many thorough scientific studies. "It is deeply regrettable that there is so much misleading information circulated on these matters which is not underpinned by consensus research. The US study was a single study and a very small sample size, and those who were in high protein groups were consuming twice the recommended intake of protein. In the UK, the National Diet and Nutrition Survey reports that people over the age of 50 only get 2.5% of their dally energy intake from dalry protein-a combination of milk, cheese and yogurt.
