Bern, 14. An international team led by Agroscope has published a study on the influence of dairy products on inflammatory responses in the human body. The study's conclusion: Despite persistent beliefs to the contrary, dairy products exert a slightly anti-inflammatory effect, and individuals with an impaired metabolism are particularly likely to benefit from consuming products from this food group. Dairy products are regularly portrayed negatively on the grounds that they promote inflammatory processes - and hence non-transmissible chronic diseases - in humans, and can thus be harmful to one's health. These assertions, however, are largely contradicted by the information available from relevant scientific studies on the subject. In the past, much research was conducted on the influence of milk and dairy products on the human immune system, especially on inflammatory responses. Owing to inconsistent studies and the absence of a suitable evaluation method, however, a critical summary of the various results was lacking.
