A Registered Dietitian with the St. Louis District Dairy Council says they anticipate potential changes in the federal dietary guidelines where saturated fat and certain nutrients are concerned.
Amanda Marsh tells Brownfield Ag News she’s aware there’s discussion about saturated fat levels in all foods, including dairy and meat, “And I also know that there’s new and emerging research that shows that the saturated fat that naturally occurs in foods like milk or like your meats does not negatively affect your heart health.” She says it’s the saturated fats in baked goods that can negatively affect the heart.
