Exciting news for cheese and butter fans. Full-fat dairy is officially back on the healthy eating list as advice from the ’80s suggesting it causes heart disease has been rubbished by a new report.

The journal  has found that recommendations to over 56 million Brits in 1983 to cut out full fat dairy in favour of low-fat alternatives were ‘premature’ and ‘lacked any solid scientific evidence’.

In fact, butter, full-fat milk, cream and creme fraiche could be good for us.

First up, there’s the finding that, as fat plays a key role in telling the brain that you’re full, you may end up eating more if you choose dairy with a low fat content.

The journal also notes that, since the guidelines were introduced in the 80s, there’s been a massive rise in intake of carbohydrates, which, according to author Zoë Harcombe could be linked to a rise in obesity and type-2 diabetes.

Then there’s the blood sugar argument. With its natural sugars, no fat milk will cause your blood sugar levels to spike. Full fat milk, however, keeps your blood sugars even thanks to its natural fat.

Forget those skinny lattes. We’re changing our morning coffee order to full fat, pronto.
