There is little doubt that including low-fat dairy products in one’s diet is a healthy path to follow. Dairy is a food group bursting with natural foods and healing foods. This article
takes a look at the studies released in 2011 that found positive notes for including more dairy in your diet. Let's take a tour around the world for health news about the dairy food group.

-- A French study found that lower incidences of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and abnormal levels of fasting blood glucose were associated with higher consumption of
dairy products and calcium.
