In plain English

Eating fermented dairy products like yogurt does not lead to a bigger decrease in liver fat than eating non-fermented dairy products like milk or cheese in humans.

See the scientific wording

Fermented dairy does not reduce liver fat more than non-fermented dairy in humans.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: The effect of dairy products on liver fat and metabolic risk markers in males with abdominal obesity - a four-arm randomized controlled trial.

    The study found that eating yogurt or milk didn’t reduce liver fat in men with belly fat — and yogurt wasn’t any better than milk. So, fermented dairy doesn’t help more than regular dairy for reducing liver fat.
