Dairy and Cancer
Full-Fat Dairy and Cancer
Today I’d like to discuss the possible effects of full-fat dairy consumption on different types of cancer. While my previous posts had positive evidence for full-fat dairy on inflammation, type 2 diabetes, CVD, and weight loss, there is mixed data for cancer. Today I will look at the evidence for three different types of cancer: breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colorectal cancer.

Dairy Products and Inflammation
Today, I am going to discuss one reason why full-fat dairy products may be better than low-fat dairy products. I am going to focus on the aspect of sugar content, inflammation, and type 2 diabetes in this post, but will focus on other aspects, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer, in my next posts!

Calories Are Not Created Equal
The next five blog posts will be dedicated to my individual topic discussing full-fat dairy versus low-fat dairy. I will evaluate the evidence in my next four posts and then draw a conclusion in my final post based on what I have presented. My last post will also include an infographic summarizing all the information I have found. For today, I would like to start off my argument of full-fat versus low-fat by discussing why calories are not created equal.

Part 2: Are High-Protein Diets Unhealthy?
In the last post on protein intake, I discussed protein requirements for optimal health and how some of the media buzz encouraging high protein intake may not be required. In this post, I will follow-up on that and also discuss the implications of high-protein diets for health, specifically weight loss.
Artificial Sweeteners: Stop Fakin’ It
There has been a lot of talk in the media recently about artificial sweeteners (AS). Some proponents say that artificial sweeteners help you lose weight by replacing the empty calories of sugar-sweetened beverages. They also help in the management of diabetes, since they are a sugar-free option. Also, artificial sweeteners may protect against cavities when substituted for sugary counterparts. However, I am going to discuss the implications of artificial sweeteners and why we may want to stay away from them.
