  • Chapter
  • First Online:

  • 1408 Accesses

Part of the book series: Nutrition and Health ((NH))

Key Points

• Fat-modified dairy products provide beneficial effects on human health in comparison to regular milk products.

• Consumption of fat-modified dairy products lowers the risk factors of the metabolic syndrome, playing a central role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

• Ruminant milk lipids have beneficial as well as unfavourable properties so that nutritional intervention with fat-modified dairy products for patients at high risk for metabolic disorders or cardiovascular events is recommended.
