Abstract:
HEALTH BENEFITS AND RISKS OF CHEESE CONSUMPTION. The positive influence of cheese consumption on the intestinal microbiota and the immune system has received solid scientific support over the last 20 years, from cohort studies concerning protection against the clinical manifestations of atopic allergy and its mechanisms. Some of the benefits of eating cheese go against conventional wisdom. In fact, recent studies show that cheese, as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle, is neutral or even protective against cardiovascular diseases; it does not increase either the risk of obesity, high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. Complementary research is needed to shed light on the role of cheese in the development of neuro-psychiatric illnesses and cancer. Without losing sight of the infectious risks, which are rare in France but can be a serious cause for concern, cheeses appear to offer several health benefits, notably because of their microbial biodiversity, which is particularly rich in raw milk cheeses. However, further work is needed to clarify the specific benefits of these cheeses.
