Fermented dairy products (yogurt, kefir, cheese) provide greater cardiovascular benefits than non-fermented dairy due to bioactive peptides, probiotics, and specific lipid profiles.
Prioritize fermented dairy products like yogurt, kefir, and cheese. They appear to offer better cardiovascular protection than non-fermented milk, likely due to probiotics and bioactive peptides created during fermentation.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
Fermented dairy products seem to be the best option as a source of nutrients and cardiovascular health benefits.
Why this rating
Based on observational studies and some experimental data, but mechanisms are not fully elucidated.
