Cheese is a good source of calcium and
protein, but it can also be high in saturated fats and sodium.
Should we be eating more
cheese or less?
Cheese has grown in popularity in the United
States (U.S.) in the last 50 years. Statistics show that consumption
tripled from 1970 to 2009. The range of
cheeses available and the number of
specialist cheese makers in the U.S. has also grown in recent years.
Some people avoid dairy cheese due to a milk
allergy or lactose intolerance, because they are on a weight-loss diet,
or as part of a vegan diet. Cheese offers a
number of health benefits, some of which are surprising. Whether or not
it is a healthful choice depends on the individual and the type and
amount of cheese consumed.
