Studies looking into a potential relationship between cheese and all-cause mortality tend to produce highly inconsistent results. A 2017 meta-analysis published in Nutrients showed that the sum of the evidence to that point indicated no association between cheese and all-cause mortality.

In conclusion, findings of the present meta-analysis indicate that cheese consumption is not significantly associated with risk of all-cause mortality. Future large prospective studies that distinguish between high-fat and low-fat cheese are warranted.

Well that makes me feel a bit better about my decision to drop cheese almost entirely since I have stupid genes. Stupid familial hypercholesterolemia! :/

Welcome to nutritional science. This is common with just about everything in it.

When I had to take a course on it, this was quickly pointed out by the professor, with an egg as the example. Some years it's the best thing you can eat, others it's the worst.
