Cheese is one of those foods (like chocolate) that’s good for you in the right amount, but too much probably isn’t so good.  Cheese is a dairy product so it’s a good source of protein and calcium, but it’s usually high in saturated fat and sodium.  Too much saturated fat may lead to [...]]]></description>
