The Claim
Among males with abdominal obesity, consumption of fermented dairy products (yogurt and heat-treated yogurt) over a 16-week period does not result in greater reductions in liver fat or improvements in metabolic markers compared to consumption of non-fermented dairy products (milk and acidified milk).
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 yogurt and heat-treated yogurt for 16 weeks leads to the same changes in liver fat and metabolic markers as eating milk and acidified milk.
See the scientific wording
Among males with abdominal obesity, fermented dairy products (yogurt and heat-treated yogurt) do not produce greater improvements in liver fat or metabolic markers than non-fermented dairy (milk and acidified milk) over a 16-week period.
The body breaks down all types of dairy into the same basic nutrients like calcium, protein, and fatty acids, which then act on the liver to reduce fat buildup and improve how it handles sugar and fat — whether the dairy was fermented or not.
What the research says
1 studyIn men with belly fat, eating yogurt or other fermented dairy didn't help their liver or metabolism any more than drinking milk or acidified milk over four months—all types had similar small benefits.
