Blue Cheese behind ‘French paradox’?
Blue Cheese may be an acquired taste for some, but I love it – and a new
study suggests it has some astonishing properties. The intensive taste
of these cheeses comes from unusually active bacteria named P.
Roqueforti.
These bacteria produce peptides and macromolecules that have numerous beneficial properties, although scientists don’t understand yet how exactly they work.
It seems that Blue Cheese hinders inflammation in the body, lowers harmful cholesterol levels and reduces blood pressure. The longer the cheese ripens, the better.
Researches think that blue cheese might help to explain the so-called ‘French paradox’. Statistics show French people enjoy long and healthy lives despite a high fat diet. Blue cheese also seems to reduce cellulite, another big plus in my book.
