We used an issue-based information system, "dialogue mapping™," to summarize scientific points of a live panel discussion on the putative effects of dairy on cardiovascular diseases (CVD) from a day-long session among experts in nutrition and CVD. Dialogue mapping captures relations among ideas to explicitly, logically, and visually connect issues/questions, ideas, pro/con arguments, and agreements, even if discussed at different times. Experts discussed two propositions: for CVD risk, consumption of full-fat dairy products 1) should be minimized, in part because of their saturated fat content, or 2) need not be minimized, despite their saCritical reviews in food science and nutritionScience dialogue mapping of knowledge and knowledge gaps related to the effects of dairy intake on human cardiovascular health and disease.PMC7434715P30 DK079626P30 DK056336UL1 TR003096UL1 TR001417Vorland CJTeran-Garcia MMiller MKaiser KAAllison DBFontaine KShikany JMBrenna JTMaki KGower BASt-Onge MPBeitz DCKeitt AGibson MJacobs DRBrown AWBier DMKris-Etherton PfalseScience dialogue mapping of knowledge and knowledge gaps related to the effects of dairy intake on human cardiovascular health and disease.Dairy has been described as everything from a superfood to a poison; yet, arguments, assumptions, and data justifying these labels are not always clear.
