  • Researchers recently studied how consuming fermented and nonfermented milk may impact heart disease in men and women. 
  • Fermented milk, also known as cultured milk, undergoes a process to add beneficial bacteria, yeast, or acids. 
  • The study found that taking in higher amounts of non-fermented milk is associated with a higher risk of ischemic heart disease (also called coronary heart disease) and myocardial infarction (heart attack) in women. 
  • While nonfermented milk was associated with a higher risk of these heart issues in women, the study did not find a negative impact on heart disease in men.

A recent study involving around 100,000 Swedish women and men examined how milk consumption impacts cardiometabolic proteins. Doctors use these protein patterns to determine someone’s risk for cardiovascular disease.
