APARICIO, Aránzazu et al. Dairy matrix: nutritional and sanitary benefits of the interrelation between its nutrients. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2020, vol.37, n.spe2, pp.13-17.  Epub Dec 28, 2020. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.03350.

The effect of nutrients on health has been studied traditionally. From this point of view, milk and dairy products contribute to maintaining and improving nutritional status. Due to its high content of some nutrients such as saturated fat, among others, dairy consumption has been linked to the appearance of several diseases such as obesity or cardiovascular disease. However, food cannot be classified as good or bad based on its nutrient content. On the contrary, those interactions between nutrients and other bioactive compounds that occur in the food matrix must also be taken into account, as they can lead to different results than those expected derived from their consumption. In the case of dairy products, the scientific evidence indicates that dairy matrix could play an important role in the prevention of several non-communicable diseases.

Keywords : Dairy matrix; Milk; Nutrients; Non-communicable diseases.
