in my experience it isnt about the effect on sugar levels but the amount of fat, this can be a weight loss issue, but there are other reasons we should have a low fat diet, think we susceptible to hardened arteries too?
 
Not to sure about cheese if im honest, ive always had an evening snack of crackers,cheese and abit of ham..
 
Cheese can contain a bit of saturated fat - which might not be so good for cholesterol.

The liver manufacturers most cholersterol from saturates then you can eat, so eating foods that contain cholesterol isn't a problem.

Not all fats are bad either, some unsaturated fats are essential oils and your body only gets them from diet (it can't make them). Keeping a low (total) fat diet is a bit of a red herring, I believe that it's keeping a low saturated fat diet that is important.

A little bit of cheese isn't going to hurt of course.
