全身性慢性炎症可能是许多非传染性疾病的一个促成因素,包括糖尿病,心血管疾病,和肥胖。随着这些条件的迅速上升,确定慢性炎症的原因和治疗是一个重要的研究重点,特别是关于可改变的生活方式因素,如饮食。一个新的证据表明,食用某些食物,包括牛奶等乳制品,奶酪,还有酸奶,可能与炎症风险降低有关。讨论关于饮食和炎症的更广泛的研究,以及关于个体食物和炎症之间联系的研究,美国国家乳业委员会在美国营养学会2020年在线会议上赞助了题为“探索饮食与炎症之间的联系:乳制品作为案例研究”的卫星会议。这篇文章,根据该届会议期间讨论的主题进行审查,探索饮食和炎症之间的联系,最密切关注乳制品脂肪的摄入量与牛奶等乳制品之间的关系,奶酪,还有酸奶,和临床试验中炎症的生物标志物。虽然目前没有足够的证据证明乳制品的“抗炎”作用,本综述中讨论的大量临床研究表明,乳制品不会增加慢性系统性炎症的生物标志物浓度。
Systemic chronic inflammation may be a contributing factor to many noncommunicable diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. With the rapid rise of these conditions, identifying the causes of and treatment for chronic inflammation is an important research priority, especially with regard to modifiable lifestyle factors such as diet. An emerging body of evidence indicates that consuming certain foods, including
dairy foods like milk, cheese, and yogurt, may be linked to a decreased risk for inflammation. To discuss both broader research on diet and inflammation as well as research on links between individual foods and inflammation, the National Dairy Council sponsored a satellite session entitled \"Exploring the Links between Diet and Inflammation: Dairy Foods as
Case Studies\" at the American Society for Nutrition\'s 2020 LIVE ONLINE Conference. This article, a review based on the topics discussed during that session, explores the links between diet and inflammation, focusing most closely on the relations between intake of dairy fat and
dairy foods like milk, cheese, and yogurt, and biomarkers of inflammation from clinical trials. While there is currently insufficient evidence to prove an \"anti-inflammatory\" effect of
dairy foods, the substantial body of clinical research discussed in this review indicates that
dairy foods do not increase concentrations of biomarkers of chronic systemic inflammation.
