Background
Limited evidence supports the common public health guideline that children > 2 y of age should consume dairy with reduced fat content.
Objectives
We aimed to investigate the effects of whole-fat compared with reduced-fat dairy intake on measures of adiposity and biomarkers of cardiometabolic risk in healthy 4- to 6-y-old children.
