26 Dairy Consumption and Risk Factors for Chronic Disease

27 Metabolic Syndrome Presence of >3 of the following risk determinants: abdominal obesity waist circumference of 102 cm for men waist circumference 88 cm for women high triglycerides (150 mg/dl) low HDL cholesterol <40 mg/dl for males <50 mg/dl for females elevated blood pressure (130/85 mm Hg) high fasting glucose (100 mg/dl)

28 40 overweight and obese adults with metabolic syndrome Random assignment to AD or LD AD -- adequate-dairy (>3.5 daily servings) LD -- low-dairy or LD (<0.5 daily servings) Weight-maintenance diets for 12 wks Stancliffe, Am J Clin Nutr, 2011; 422.

29 Stancliffe, R. A., T. Thorpe, and M. B. Zemel. "Dairy Attentuates Oxidative and Inflammatory Stress in Metabolic Syndrome." American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 94.2 (2011): Web.

30 Stancliffe, Am J Clin Nutr, 2011; 422.

31 Stancliffe, Am J Clin Nutr, 2011; 422.

32 Limitations & Conclusion Don t specify if the milk is high or low-fat Short study Self-reported diet recalls All participants were likely low dairy consumers prior to starting the study An increase in dairy intake attenuates oxidative and inflammatory stress in metabolic syndrome Stancliffe, Am J Clin Nutr, 2011; 422.

33 1868 men and women (55 80 y old) without Metabolic Syndrome at baseline 137-item validated FFQ yearly Median follow-up = 3.2 years

34 1 cup milk = 228 g! 1 oz cheese = 28 g! 6 oz yogurt = 170 g!

35 Babio, J of Nutr, 2015; 2308.

36 Babio, J of Nutr, 2015; 2308.

37 Babio, J of Nutr, 2015; 2308.

38 Limitations Incident MetS was a secondary endpoint of PREDIMED Population Measurement errors Babio, J of Nutr, 2015; 2308.

39 Conclusion Lower incidence of metabolic syndrome Lower incidence of all metabolic syndrome components Increased risk of metabolic syndrome Babio, J of Nutr, 2015; 2308.

40 664 participants 91-item validated FFQ Yogurt consumption was divided into three categories on the basis of their fat content: 1. fat-free yogurt (0% M.F.) 2. low-fat yogurt (<2% M.F.) 3. high-fat yogurt ( 2 M.F.) Western and Prudent dietary patterns Cormier, Eur J Nutr, 2015:1.

41 Cormier, Eur J Nutr, 2015:1.

42 Results Consumer Lower BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, waist circumference Non- Consumer Higher total cholesterol and fasting insulin Normal Weight Consumer More high-fat yogurt daily Overweight/ Obese Consumer More reducedfat or fat-free yogurt daily Prudent diet Western diet Cormier, Eur J Nutr, 2015:1.

43 Limitations & Conclusion Limitations: Cross-sectional study using an FFQ at one time point Overweight/Obese adults who were consumers of yogurt have more favorable cardio-metabolic profiles than overweight/obese non-consumers. Cormier, Eur J Nutr, 2015:1.

44 Important Fatty Acids in Dairy Effect on Risk Factors for Chronic Disease

45 PALMITOLEIC ACID

46 30-day parallel, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-control trial Intervention: mg per capsule (52% palmitoleic acid) Placebo: 1000 mg MCT oil Berstein, J Clin Lipidology, 2004;8:612.

47 Limitations & Conclusions Limitations: Small sample size Short duration Did not assess plasma concentration of palmitoleic acid to assess compliance Lifestyle and dietary factors weren t evaluated in detail Amount of dairy need to consume to reach mg palmitoleic acid = about 2.5 cups full fat milk Palmitoleic acid was found to exert anti-inflammatory and lipid-modulating properties when compared to a placebo Berstein, J Clin Lipidology, 2004;8:612.

48 Large, multiethnic prospective cohort study Examined association of phospholipid trans-palmitoleic acid with metabolic risk and incident diabetes Evaluated biomarkers for dairy consumption Validated 120-item FFQ Mozaffarin, Am J Clin Nutr, 2013;97:854

49 Mozaffarin, Am J Clin Nutr, 2013;97:854

50 Mozaffarin, Am J Clin Nutr, 2013;97:854

51 Limitations & Conclusions Limitations: Cross-sectional Possible that other components of dairy fat may have contributed to lower metabolic risk Uncertain if health benefits are only from dairy intake due to consumption of hydrogenated oils Higher trans-palmitoleic acid levels were associated with lower triglycerides, fasting insulin and blood pressure, but higher LDL levels. Mozaffarin, Am J Clin Nutr, 2013;97:854

52 CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID (CLA)

53 Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) Proposed benefits: Anti-obesity Anti-carcinogenesis Anti-atherosclerosis Anti-diabetes effects Proposed negative effects: Fatty liver and spleen Induction of colon carcinogenesis Hyperproinsulinaemia Benjamin, Nutr & Met, 2009;6:1.

54 Benjamin, Nutr & Met, 2009;6:1.

55 Examined effect of naturally incorporated CLA on disease risk factors n = 18 females Intervention group consumed 1.17g/day of CLA, whereas the control group consumed 0.35 g/day Strict diet consumed on site Brown, Nutr Res, 2011;31:33.

56 Results No differences were found in insulin sensitivity, body composition, circulating blood lipids, or other measured disease risk factors Brown, Nutr Res, 2011;31:33.

57 Limitations & Conclusions Limitations Small sample size on only females CLA diet does not affect insulin sensitivity, body composition, lipids, or other risk factors for disease. Mushtaq et al. (2010): CLA content in whole milk = 2.0 mg/g fat, semi-skimmed milk = 2.1 mg/g fat and was undetected in skimmed milk Mean daily intake of CLA was 97.5 mg/d Not close to recommended 2-3 g/day to observe health benefits Mushtaq, British J of Nutr, 2010;103:1366. Brown, Nutr Res, 2011;31:33.

58 SATURATED FATTY ACIDS

59 Inverse association suggests that odd-chain SFA, which reflect milk or dairy consumption, may have a less harmful effect in risk for coronary heart disease. Chowdhury, Ann Intern Med, 2014;160:398.

60 Review of the meta-analysis by Chowdhury et al. (2014) that found no association between CAD and blood levels of total SFA Used 2 of 8 studies that looked at pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) and heptadecanoic acid (C17:0) association with CVD Found negative associations between circulating C15:0 and C17:0 and coronary outcomes However, Results of 1 study used twice Odd-chain SFA do not positively correlate with total SFA amount Dawczynski, Nutr, Met & Cardio Disease, 2015;25:1071.

61 When excluding articles focusing on C15:0 and C17:0 fats, a positive association between total SFA levels and coronary outcomes was found Dawczynski, Nutr, Met & Cardio Disease, 2015;25:1071.

62 GROUP DISCUSSION

63 Discussion Questions Do you support dairy consumption? When recommending dairy to a patient, would you recommend high or low fat dairy? Does your recommendation change if it s for yourself? Organic vs. Non Low vs. High

64 Our Findings Outcome Population Source /- + - Reduces oxidative and inflammatory biomarkers High -fat yogurt, low-fat dairy and low-fat milk decreases incidence of metabolic symptoms Overweight/Obese adults who were consumers of yogurt have more favorable cardio-metabolic profiles than overweight/obese non-consumers. Palmitoleic acid supplementation is anti-inflammatory and lipid-modulating Higher circulating trans-palmitoleic acid is associated with lower TG, fasting insulin, BP, and incident diabetes CLA does not affect insulin sensitivity, body composition, lipids, or other risk factors for disease Odd-chain SFA may have less harmful effect in risk for coronary heart disease With exclusion of dairy specific SFA, positive association between total SFA levels and coronary outcomes was found Overweight and obese adults with metabolic syndrome Elderly patients at high risk for CVD Stancliffe Babio 664 Participants from INFOGENE Cromier Participants with mild systemic inflammation Older adults (45-84 y) free of clinical cardiovascular disease Non-obese, women aged y N/A N/A Bernstein Mozzafarin Brown Chowdhury Dawczynski

65 Clinical Application Dairy Adequate servings daily (~3) Plain, whole fat, in proper portion Milk Organic Fortified with Vitamin D Yogurt Plain Added live cultures Cheese Limit: no more than 1 serving per day
