DLM-SF: Dairy Compared to Non-Dairy (2021)

Intervention
In adults with or without cardiovascular disease, what is the effect of saturated fat from dairy compared to saturated fat from non-dairy on blood pressure?
- Conclusion
  In adults with or without cardiovascular disease, saturated fat from dairy compared to saturated fat from non-dairy does not have differing effects on blood pressure.
- Grade: Low (C)
  - Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
  - Grade II is Fair;
  - Grade III is Limited/Weak;
  - Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
  - Grade V is Not Assignable.
  - High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
  - Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
  - Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
  - Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
  - Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
- Evidence Summary: In adults with or without cardiovascular disease, what is the effect of saturated fat from dairy compared to saturated fat from non-dairy on blood pressure?

In adults with or without cardiovascular disease, what is the effect of saturated fat from dairy compared to saturated fat from non-dairy on endothelial function?
- Conclusion
  In adults with mild to moderate hypertension, saturated fat intake from dairy compared to nondairy may have a beneficial effect on endothelial function based on one randomized controlled trial with high risk of bias. No studies were identified that evaluated populations with other health conditions.
- Grade: Very Low (D)
  - Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
  - Grade II is Fair;
