EXCERPTS: . . . The researchers followed up with the participants after about nine years, and found that a higher intake of whole fat, but not low fat, dairy was linked with a lower incidence of high blood pressure and diabetes. In epidemiology, incidence refers to new cases of a disease or condition in a population. They also found whole fat dairy was linked to a lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome, or how many people had the condition.

Eating at least two servings of dairy per day was on average linked to lower blood pressure, waist circumference, body mass index, triglycerides, the ratio of triglycerides to good cholesterol, and blood sugar, compared with those who did not. Triglycerides are the form that most fats take in food and our bodies. When calories consumed are not immediately used by fats, they are turned into triglycerides, sent to fat cells and stored as energy. Total dairy intake and whole fat, but not low fat, dairy was also linked with a lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome, including high blood pressure, as well as elevated waist circumferences, blood glucose and triglycerides.

[...] The authors acknowledged the patterns they noticed may be down to participants' overall diet, although they adjusted for this in their analysis. They concluded: "If our findings are confirmed in sufficiently large and long term trials, then increasing dairy consumption may represent a feasible and low cost approach to reducing [metabolic syndome], hypertension, diabetes, and ultimately cardiovascular disease events worldwide."
