PubMedInverse associations between dairy consumption and CVD have been reported in several epidemiological studies. Our objective was to conduct a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies of dairy intake and CVD. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify studies that reported risk est …

Future epidemiological studies should provide more details about dairy types, including fat content. In addition, the role of dairy in Asian populations dese …

Of high quality studies involving dairy consumption and cancer, 71% showed no evidence of a statistically significant association between dairy consumption and incidence of cancers, 13% showed decreased risk of cancers with dairy consumption and 16% showed increased risk of cancers with dairy consumption
BMJ OpenObjectives To provide a comprehensive systematic overview of current evidence from pooled analyses/meta-analyses and systematic reviews (PMASRs) pertaining to dairy consumption and incident cancer and/or all-cause or cancer-specific mortality.
