Cheese makes you FAT? (Not so fast!)

The low-fat cult will tell you it’s TERRIBLE for you…

Vegan maniacs will CURSE YOUR NAME if you even touch the stuff…

And by-the-book mainstream doctors will blindly tell you it’s going to make you FAT.

Yep, these “experts” use countless scare tactics and warn you that eating just a sliver of anything dairy – specifically CHEESE – will make you pack on unwanted pounds.

NOT SO FAST!

Because according to science, it turns out that eating cheese isn’t as bad as mainstream medicine will have you believing…

Especially when it comes to your waistline!

According to a lengthy study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, eating cheese is essentially NEUTRAL when it comes to your weight.

Researchers looked at over 120,000 people for several decades and identified several foods tied TO weight loss.

These included meats, potatoes, grains, AND… cheese!

In fact, those who ate cheese regularly during the study showed a minimal inverse relationship between body mass and cheese consumption.

In other words, eating cheese in most cases is tied to weight loss!

But there’s more…

The study also found that increased dairy consumption led to increased lean muscle mass and a DECREASE in body fat!

So much for that whole ‘cheese makes you fat’ myth!

Now, this doesn’t mean you should eat a block of cheese the size of a car battery. But it does give you the green light to indulge in some cheese and other dairy products from time to time without fretting about your waistline or health.

How much, exactly?

Cheese comes in all shapes and sizes, but generally a serving of cheese is about 1 oz. or about the size of a pair of dice.

A serving of whole milk is 1 cup, or 8 oz. And a serving of whole fat yogurt is also 1 cup. (Most containers of yogurt come in convenient 1 cup containers, which takes out the guesswork.)

So, if you do decide to enjoy dairy, stick to the recommended serving sizes and you should be just fine.

To the truth about dairy,
