Presented by: Jana Kraft, Ph.D. and Allison Unger, Ph.D.

Low-fat, high-fat, ‘Fat is Back’? The news surrounding dietary fat is frequently changing and patients have questions about including whole fat dairy products into their diets.

  1. Understand how the composition of dairy fat is unique from other edible fats.
  2. Recognize the role of dairy fat as part of a complex (food) matrix.
  3. Discuss the latest research findings concerning the physiological role of dietary dairy fat.
