The Health Must-Eat List: Top Cheeses

Cheese gets a bad rap, but it can be healthy. For one, it's a good source of calcium, which helps build bone and plays a role in muscle function, nerve transmission, and regulating blood pressure. Plus, it serves up healthy doses of protein, vitamin D, and zinc. Just choose wisely and enjoy in moderation.
