Yes, you can freeze cheese, milk and cream cheese, and they stay safe to eat. The episode covers what changes: hard cheese turns crumbly, milk can separate, and cream cheese goes grainy. The cause is water. Ice crystals push apart dairy's protein network, so texture doesn't fully recover when it thaws.

You'll learn which cheeses freeze well, like cheddar and low-moisture mozzarella, and which don't, like brie and fresh mozzarella. You'll also get realistic freezer times and thawing tips for making frozen dairy work in cooking.

We explain why the official count likely understates cases, how to check recalled seeds at home, and why alfalfa sprout recalls are a separate matter. Children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems have the most reason to be careful.

This episode looks at a 12-week University of Toronto trial published in The Journal of Nutrition, which tested whether full-fat dairy harms health. Seventy-four adults with overweight or obesity were assigned to little dairy or three full-fat servings a day, with researchers supplying the products.

You'll learn why low-fat dairy became the default, what the saturated fat concern is based on, and why the results showed no meaningful differences in weight, body composition, cholesterol or insulin resistance. The episode also explains why this does not make full-fat dairy a health food.
