Cream cheese: a nutritious nibble or a saturated-fat pitfall?

Cream cheese provides vitamin A, zinc and vitamin K2 but is high in saturated fat (about 16 g per 100 g) and relatively low in calcium compared with other cheeses. Some experts classify it as ultra-processed due to stabilisers and emulsifiers in mass‑market brands, while others note its fermented status and potential gut benefits. The health impact depends on context: it’s better eaten with vegetables or wholegrain bread, and lower‑fat versions exist. Overall, a small daily portion can fit into a balanced diet, especially if paired with nutrient‑dense foods.

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.

However, the study shows association, not causation, and emphasizes the importance of overall diet quality and moderation.

Balancing the Pros and Cons of Dairy for Gut Health

A study analyzing colon biopsies found that dairy consumption, especially milk, is associated with increased diversity and beneficial bacteria in the gut lining, such as Faecalibacterium and Akkermansia, though effects vary by dairy type and individual factors. Cheese may have different impacts, and lactose appears to play a prebiotic role, highlighting the complex relationship between dairy and gut health.

Foods to Avoid Before Bed for Better Sleep and Dreams

A study suggests that consuming cheese and sweets before bed may increase the likelihood of nightmares, especially in individuals with food intolerances like lactose intolerance or gluten sensitivity, due to gastrointestinal discomfort. Foods such as fruits, vegetables, and herbal teas are linked to better sleep, and those experiencing frequent nightmares might consider adjusting their diet to improve sleep quality.
