The Claim
Consuming 200 grams of yogurt per day is associated with an 11% lower risk of all-cause mortality and an 11% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality in adult populations.
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.
Adults who eat 200 grams of yogurt daily have an 11% lower risk of dying from any cause and an 11% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared to those who do not.
See the scientific wording
Consuming 200 grams of yogurt per day is associated with an 11% lower risk of all-cause mortality and an 11% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality, based on pooled data from 10 and 9 prospective cohort studies, respectively, suggesting that regular yogurt intake may contribute to longer life and reduced heart disease risk in adult populations.
Yogurt contains special fats and proteins made during fermentation that stop blood clots, lower bad cholesterol, and calm down body-wide inflammation. These changes prevent arteries from clogging and reduce damage to the heart and blood vessels, leading to fewer deaths from heart disease and other causes.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who eat about 200 grams of yogurt every day were found to be less likely to die from any cause or heart disease, according to a large analysis of many long-term studies. This suggests yogurt might help people live longer and have healthier hearts.
