- Curd from dairy milk promotes bone health. Curds contain the minerals calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, which are essential for bone mineralization. There are an impressive 296 milligrams of calcium and 233 milligrams of phosphorus per 1.5 ounces(about 2.5 tablespoons), which is a prudent serving size.
- Curd from dairy milk contains vitamin B12, a nutrient that is essential for proper nerve function. A vitamin B12 deficiency can result in neurological symptoms such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, difficulty walking, disorientation, memory loss, and dementia. Correcting a B12 deficiency can reverse these symptoms. A 1.5 ounce serving of cheese curd contains 30% of the daily value for vitamin B12.

Individuals with already high LDL cholesterol, consume full fat diary only on an occasional basis to limit consumption of saturated fats.
