Summary: The overall conclusion from the study is that total dairy consumption is associated with a modestly lower risk of hypertension, CHD, and stroke; however, low-fat dairy consumption is more strongly associated with lower risk, particularly in relation to hypertension and stroke. High-fat dairy consumption also shows a lower risk of stroke.

Summary: This study found an association between yogurt intake and a decreased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Specifically, yogurt consumption was associated with a lower risk of CRC in overall comparison, cohort studies, and case-control studies. Subgroup analyses showed that yogurt consumption significantly reduced the risk of CRC, colon cancer, and distal colon cancer in different regions, cancer types, publication years, and populations.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the adjusted effect of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) on weight change. Based on the analysis of 8 studies, it was found that individuals with MDD experienced greater weight change and had a higher likelihood of developing obesity. These findings highlight the importance of weight tracking and management in clinical settings for individuals with MDD.

Summary: Consumption of yogurt and other fermented products has positive effects on gastrointestinal and cardiovascular health, cancer risk, weight management, diabetes and metabolic health, and bone density. There is a causal relationship between lactose digestion and tolerance and yogurt consumption, and consistent associations between fermented milk consumption and reduced risk of breast and colorectal cancer and type 2 diabetes, improved weight maintenance, and improved cardiovascular, bone, and gastrointestinal health. Dairy product consumption, including fermented products like yogurt, should be encouraged as part of national dietary guidelines for favorable health outcomes.

Summary: There is considerable controversy regarding the association between milk and dairy consumption and mortality risk. This systematic review and meta-analysis found that high-fat milk consumption was significantly associated with a higher risk of all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer mortality. However, total dairy consumption was associated with a lower risk of CVD mortality.

Summary: The temperament of dairy cows affects their milk yield, but there is a lack of consensus in the scientific literature about the direction of this relationship. This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify the effects of dairy cows' temperament on milk yield. The results showed that reactive cows were more productive than calm or intermediate ones.

Summary: The popularity of low-fat dairy products is increasing due to the perceived health benefits. However, the removal of fat in these products leads to texture and flavor issues, reducing consumer acceptability. To overcome these drawbacks, hydrocolloid-based fat replacers have been studied and used to mimic the characteristics of fat molecules. This review introduces the role of fat in dairy products, discusses the defects caused by fat reduction, and compares different types of hydrocolloid-based fat replacers and their impact on the texture and sensory attributes of low-fat dairy products.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the associations between eating speed, adiposity, cardiometabolic risk factors, and diet quality in Spanish preschool children. The findings showed that faster eating speed was linked to higher prevalence of overweight/obesity, larger waist circumference, greater fat mass index, higher systolic blood pressure and fasting plasma glucose levels, as well as lower adherence to a Mediterranean diet. Further long-term and interventional studies are needed to confirm these associations.

Summary: This study examined the association between adherence to an energy-restricted Mediterranean diet and the amount of CO2 emissions in an older adult population. The findings suggest that the Mediterranean diet can contribute to lower total dietary CO2 emissions, indicating its potential environmental benefits.

Summary: This study found that excessive visceral adipose tissue is associated with increased secretion of pro-inflammatory molecules, leading to systemic inflammation and obesity-related metabolic disturbances. The reduction in visceral adipose tissue is associated with improvements in various inflammatory and adiposity markers, especially insulin, c-peptide, and PAI-1 levels, which may contribute to a decrease in cardiometabolic disturbances observed in obesity.
