Core Tip

Core tip: We have examined the relationship between changes in dairy intake, lipid species and vascular function. Although it was expected that an increase in dairy intake would lower blood pressure and be associated with improvements in vascular structure we found that increases in lipid species associated with dairy (LPC 14:0, LPC 15:0, LPC 16:1, CE 14:0) were associated with adverse changes in these parameters. Dairy does not appear to be beneficial in people with diabetes.
