STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Cheese is a nutrient-dense superfood that has been consumed for over 7,000 years, offering numerous health benefits beyond just taste
Raw cheese is rich in lactoferrin, a multifunctional protein with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and gut health-promoting properties. It’s also an excellent source of dietary calcium, which is crucial for bone health and may help prevent soft tissue calcification when consumed adequately, and tyrosine, an amino acid that supports neurotransmitter production, stress management, and thyroid function
Contrary to popular belief, the saturated fats in cheese can support metabolism and provide health benefits, including newly discovered odd-chain fatty acids
Hard cheeses are one of the best sources of Vitamin K2, which directs calcium to bones and teeth while preventing arterial calcification
When choosing cheese, opt for raw, grass fed varieties made with animal rennet and from A2 milk sources for optimal nutritional benefits and digestibility
