Few studies have used circulating biomarkers that provide objective measures of dairy fat intake. We tested the hypothesis that the circulating biomarkers of dairy fat, pentadecanoic acid (15:0), heptadecanoic acid (17:0), and trans palmitoleate (trans 16:1n−7), were associated with lower incidence of stroke, especially...
