The benefits of Cheese:
High-fat cheeses such as blue cheese, brie, and cheddar contain small amounts of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
Some doctors have suggested that CLA may help prevent obesity, heart disease, and reduce inflammation.
Cheese (and other high-fat dairy products, such as whole milk and butter) from 100 percent grass-fed animals contains more CLA.
Not only dairy fats contain CLA, according to a research review that looked at dairy consumption and heart health, full-fat dairy products appear to provide greater nutrition and have anti-inflammatory properties.
Fermented dairy products, such as yogurt and cheese, may have a more pronounced positive effect on cardiovascular health.
