Dairy’s double-edged effect on gut bacteria

Dairy’s double-edged effect on gut bacteria

A study analyzing wall-attached gut bacteria from colon biopsies finds dairy foods can have both positive and negative effects on the gut microbiome: higher total dairy and milk intake were associated with greater bacterial diversity and higher levels of beneficial microbes like Faecalibacterium and Akkermansia on the colon lining (with lactose likely driving part of this effect), while higher cheese intake correlated with lower levels of certain bacteria. Yogurt signals were inconclusive due to low consumption. Overall, dairy’s impact depends on the type of dairy, lactose content, fiber intake, and individual microbiome, and more diverse research is needed.

Cheese a Week Linked to Lower Dementia Risk in Japanese Study

Cheese a Week Linked to Lower Dementia Risk in Japanese Study

In a three-year Japanese cohort, older adults who ate cheese at least weekly showed a 24% lower risk of dementia (hazard ratio 0.76) versus those who rarely/never ate cheese, based on 3,957 matched pairs from nearly 8,000 participants. The association remained after adjusting for overall diet quality but remains observational and not causal. Most cheese consumed was processed, and researchers note potential biological pathways (e.g., vitamin K2, gut-brain axis) while acknowledging limitations such as baseline-only intake data and dementia measured via long-term care records.

Full-fat dairy linked to lower dementia risk in 25-year Swedish study

Full-fat dairy linked to lower dementia risk in 25-year Swedish study

A 25-year Swedish study of 27,670 adults found that higher intake of full-fat cheese (>50 g/day) was associated with a 13%–17% lower risk of Alzheimer's in those without a genetic risk, while higher full-fat cream (>20 g/day) was linked to a 16%–24% lower risk of dementia overall; no stronger links were found for low-fat dairy. The findings likely reflect healthier overall diets and lifestyle, possible substitution effects, and population differences, not a causal protective effect of dairy. Researchers also accounted for early dementia by excluding cases at baseline and reanalyzing after removing early incident cases.

Cheese May Lower Sleep Apnea Risk, Study Finds

A large health study using UK Biobank and FinnGen data finds cheese consumption is associated with a 28% lower risk of sleep apnea, with researchers applying Mendelian randomization to explore causality and identifying several biomarkers potentially mediating the effect; experts caution that correlation is not causation and advise moderation and standard sleep apnea guidance from clinicians.

Full-fat Dairy and Dementia Risk: Swedes Find Lower Odds, but Diet Context Matters

Full-fat Dairy and Dementia Risk: Swedes Find Lower Odds, but Diet Context Matters

A 25-year Swedish study of 27,670 adults found that higher consumption of full-fat cheese (>50 g/day) and cream (>20 g/day) was linked to a modestly lower risk of dementia, especially Alzheimer’s, among those without genetic risk, with no similar benefit seen for other dairy. Authors caution the results likely reflect healthier overall dietary patterns and lifestyle, rather than a protective effect of dairy itself, and substitution effects (replacing red/processed meat with dairy) may influence findings. The study reinforces that dietary patterns—such as Mediterranean-style eating—are more important than any single food, and while dairy supplies brain-relevant nutrients, the evidence does not justify large increases in cheese or cream for dementia prevention.

FDA raises nationwide cheese recall to highest danger level after listeria detected

The FDA upgraded a nationwide cheese recall to Class I—the agency’s most serious risk category—after detecting Listeria monocytogenes at The Ambriola Company's New Jersey facility. While no illnesses have been confirmed, the recall’s escalation signals potential serious health risks for vulnerable groups. The affected products span multiple brands and formats (consumer packs and by-the-pound), including Locatelli Pecorino Romano, Boar’s Head, and others, totaling thousands of units recalled across numerous lot numbers.

Eating Certain Cheeses May Reduce Dementia Risk, Study Finds

Eating Certain Cheeses May Reduce Dementia Risk, Study Finds

A study published in Neurology found that consuming high-fat cheese and cream is associated with a reduced risk of developing dementia, with those eating such cheeses having up to 16% lower risk. The research analyzed data from over 27,000 people and suggests that moderate intake of certain high-fat cheeses may benefit brain health, though moderation is advised due to potential impacts on cholesterol and heart health.

Full-fat Cheese and Cream May Reduce Dementia Risk

Full-fat Cheese and Cream May Reduce Dementia Risk

A 25-year Swedish study suggests that consuming higher amounts of high-fat cheese and cream may be linked to a lower risk of dementia, particularly vascular dementia, though the findings are observational and do not establish causation. The benefits were not seen with low-fat dairy or milk, and genetic factors like the APOE ε4 variant may influence individual responses. Experts advise moderation and caution against making major dietary changes based solely on this study.
