Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are now allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will continue to be removed and our normal comment rules still apply to other comments.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

What the heck is a cardiometabolic risk?

I think they used this term because the study did not look at actual outcomes such as heart attacts, but instead measured blood tests that might indicate an "atherogenic profile" i.e. findings felt to correlate with risk of atherosclerotic disease.

Dairy is one of the few decent sources of odd-chain length saturated fatty acids which seem to provide most of the benefits.
