IDF continues to maintain that dairy fats play a role in a healthy and balanced diet after outcome of Joint FAO/WHO expert consultation

摘要

The International Dairy Federation (IDF) welcomes the FAO/WHO conclusion that there is no convincing evidence for significant effects of total dietary fats on coronary heart disease (CHD) or cancer. It also notes in the report conclusion that energy balance is the critical factor in maintaining a healthy body weight, regardless of the percent energy of total fat. In addition, the report shows that replacing saturated fatty acids with refined carbohydrates has no benefit for CHD and may even increase the risk of CHD and metabolic syndrome development.
