A recent study suggests that eating dairy products 'in moderation' is likely to be beneficial to the health of the human heart (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/sep/11/dairy-in-moderation-is-good-for-heart-health-study-finds). Although arteriosclerosis (blocking of the blood supply to the heart by plaque) can be increased by consuming substantial amounts of fatty foods, the dairy products contain many factors that appear help the heart keep ticking along. The study was carried out with populations where there was a relatively modest intake of dairy products.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
