    People who have never had good cheese are just deprived! Cheese is a great food that is dense in calories but has a lot of healthy stuff going for it. I am so glad I am not lactose intolerant!

    Because its a dairy product and although its good calcium for your bones dairy slows down your metabolism & the salt in it is not really good for you salt helps store unneeded watter that can cause you to have some extra weight on your body! Allllsooo if you eat enough it can constipate you lol :-)

    omg! ''dairy slows down your metabolism'' Pouahahahahahaha!!!!!!! ROFL!!!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!
    I'm 5'6, 116 lbs and eat a TON of cheese almost everyday! My metabolism is just fine! I maintain at 1600 cals and with exercise, I eat over 2000 cals.

    The reason people think cheese is unhealthy is because it has a lot saturated fat and is high calorie. We were previously told that saturated fat was very bad for you. However, that's not true, and the lipid hypothesis has since been debunked over and over. Still, old myths are hard to kill.

    OP: To answer your question, I think people against cheese are either lactose intolerant or vegan.

    I have cut way down on mature cheddar because it is so high in saturated fat which is bad for cholesterol, and I have a family history of heart disease. But I've been eating mini babybell lights everyday to up my protein and give me a cheese fix! They still aren't great for saturated fats but are better than all the other cheeses I love like Brie and Camembert!

    If you read threads around here for long you'll come across at least a few people who believe any food you could name is evil and unhealthy for some reason. Seriously, everything. I had a co-worker who was on a diet for a while where vegetables were discouraged....

    Personally I find that dairy, cheese included, really helps in my weight-loss goals. It's tasty and helps me feel full and satisfied.

    So, don't worry. It's not you; it's them. :flowerforyou:

    I agree with an above poster that we all must be careful not to believe everything we read about nutrition from the boards. There is considerable misinformation out there. Certainly, moderate portions of fresh, minimally processed cheese can have a role in a healthy diet. String cheese is one of my frequent snacks and a meal I frequently look forward to is Caprese salad: fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, plenty of fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, a splash of olive oil, fresh ground pepper and a little sea salt. Just send me to the French Riviera right now where it's on every menu and lots of skinny French and Italian women are eating it.

    The saturated fat in dairy has been linked to increased risk of disease.
