The Claim
Consumption of low-fat fermented milk at a dose of 100–200 g per day is associated with a 12% lower risk of all-cause mortality over a 23.5-year follow-up period in a Swedish cohort population, with a nonlinear dose-response relationship indicating greater benefit at moderate intake levels.
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.
People who consumed 100–200 grams of low-fat fermented milk daily had a 12% lower risk of dying from any cause over 23.5 years compared to those who did not, based on observations in a Swedish cohort study.
See the scientific wording
Consumption of low-fat fermented milk (100–200 g/day) is associated with a 12% lower risk of all-cause mortality over 23.5 years in a Swedish cohort, with a nonlinear dose-response relationship, suggesting a specific benefit at moderate intake levels that may be linked to anti-inflammatory effects.
Drinking low-fat fermented milk lowers levels of specific inflammatory proteins in the blood, which reduces long-term tissue damage and improves survival. This happens because the milk changes the body’s protein signals to calm down chronic inflammation, especially in blood vessels and fat tissue.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who drank about one cup of low-fat fermented milk every day were 12% less likely to die over 23 years than those who didn’t, and drinking more didn’t help even more — which is exactly what the claim says.
