Dairy products are a source of protein, vitamins and minerals and are associated with various health effects.
Please note: full-fat dairy products in particular, such as milk, cheese, yoghurt and cream, contain relatively high levels of saturated fat. Dairy products that are lower in fat, such as buttermilk, low-fat quark, semi-skimmed milk and low-fat yoghurt, are a good alternative. You could also try putting a little less cheese in your sandwich.

There are a number of health effects associated with the regular consumption of dairy products.
