Re: Low Fat Cheese
I generally recommend cheese with caution due to the saturated fat content. However, it is an excellent source of protein and calcium. I do recommend low fat or reduced fat cheeses and they are certainly more palatable than they used to be when they first came out. Portion sizes are very important even with low fat/reduced fat cheese because the saturated fat still adds up quickly. I am familiar with the benefits of Vit K2 in osteoporosis but the preliminary research presented by Dr. Oz was new information for me. Like so many foods, it is likely that cheese offers some anti-cancer benefit but in this case I don't believe more is necessarily better.
