New studies may by 'vindicating' high saturated fat dairy, but I'll go by the old studies.

Dairy heavy Finland used to have one of the highest heart attack rates per capita in the world. Pretty much everyone knew someone or had a family member who'd had a heart attack. Then they started a campaign to reverse this--primarily giving up dairy. Now they have one of the lowest rates of heart attacks in the world.

These new little short term studies don't impress me.
