Science

Key findings

  • Probiotic yogurt consumption can positively affect serum CRP levels in overweight individuals [7].

  • Probiotic yogurt may reduce total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in individuals with mild to moderate hypercholesterolemia [5].

  • Yogurt consumption can maintain biomarkers of immune function [13].

Studies

The impact of probiotic yogurt consumption on lipid profiles in subjects with mild to moderate hypercholesterolemia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Probiotic yogurt showed a significant decrease in serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, particularly in dosages ≥300 mg/day and intervention duration >4 weeks [5].

Effect of daily probiotic yogurt consumption on inflammation: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized Controlled Clinical trials

Daily probiotic yogurt consumption decreases serum CRP levels, but has no effect on IL-6 and TNF-α. This effect is significant in overweight people (25 < BMI<29.9 kg/m2) with the baseline CRP levels more than 3 mg/dl [7].

Low-fat yogurt consumption maintains biomarkers of immune function relative to nondairy control food in women with elevated BMI: A randomized controlled crossover trial

Yogurt consumption maintained the regulatory T and helper T-cell proportions [13].

Safety status

Generally recognized as safe for consumption. However, some ingredients like food additives require evaluation [1], [2].
