ASK A NUTRITION PROFESSIONAL: IS CHEESE BAD FOR YOU?
Expert opinion from Livia Dickson Chen
PhD in Nutrition · 11 years of experience · Brazil
Cheese is wonderful food! It is a source of protein, calcium, a vitamin B12 and brings important health benefits. It is useful in regulating intestinal transit, weight management, and strengthening bones and teeth and is very important in human development. This food deserves to be present in a healthy and balanced diet, but be careful, avoid those fatty cheeses, full of dyes, and that does not give you confidence that they are healthy food.

Eating cheese in moderations is beneficial for your health as it is a source of calcium and proteins of high biological value. However, due to its high sodium and saturated fat content, its consumption is not recommended for hypertensive and/or overweight people.
Expert opinion from Deidre Huysamen

If consumed in moderation, then cheese is not bad for you. Cheese is a great source of calcium and vitamin D however, if consumed in excess then this can be a bad source of sodium and saturated fat.
