The Claim
In males with abdominal obesity, consuming 400 grams per day of any dairy product—fermented or non-fermented—for 16 weeks has no significant effect on liver fat content as measured by magnetic resonance imaging.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In men with excess belly fat, eating 400 grams of any dairy product daily for 16 weeks does not change the amount of fat in the liver, regardless of whether the dairy is fermented or not.
See the scientific wording
In males with abdominal obesity, consuming 400 grams per day of any dairy product—whether fermented or non-fermented—for 16 weeks does not significantly reduce liver fat content, as measured by magnetic resonance imaging, indicating that dairy type does not influence this key marker of metabolic health.
Eating 400 grams of dairy every day does not change how the liver stores or processes fat, so liver fat stays the same no matter what kind of dairy is eaten.
What the research says
1 studyFor men with big bellies, eating 400 grams of any dairy—like milk or yogurt—every day for four months didn’t reduce liver fat, no matter what kind it was. So, dairy type doesn’t matter for this specific health measure.
