Tridge summary
A recent study led by Arlindo Saran Netto at the University of São Paulo in Brazil has found that feeding dairy cows diets supplemented with soybean and flaxseed oils can significantly improve the health value of their milk. The research, published in PLOS ONE, shows that the milk from cows fed these oils has a higher content of unsaturated fatty acids and essential omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for preventing cardiovascular diseases, chronic inflammation, and some types of cancer in humans. This dietary change also results in a healthier balance of these fatty acids in the milk, as recommended by the World Health Organization, and has the potential to bring new health benefits through omega-3-fortified milk. The study is part of an ongoing research initiative aimed at enhancing food quality and developing new types of milk and meat.

The inclusion of these oils in the diet of dairy cows made the fatty acid content of their milk even healthier for human nutrition, as determined by an advanced research in Brazil. It also increased the proportions of omega-6 and omega-3, which in the proper balance play a key role in preventing cardiovascular diseases, for example, as well as chronic inflammation and some types of cancer. (Read: They develop a healthier type of cow's milk) An investigation directed by Arlindo Saran Netto, professor at the Faculty of Animal Science and Food Engineering of the University of São Paulo (FZEA-USP) in Pirassununga, shows that the consumption of these oils by dairy cows reduced the level of fatty acids saturated in milk and increased the level of unsaturated fatty acids, which help reduce LDL, known as 'bad cholesterol'. An article published in PLOS ONE reports the results of the research, which was supported by FAPESP. The study is part of a series directed by Saran Netto for more than ...
