The Claim

Fermented dairy intake is associated with proteomic signatures enriched in biological pathways related to immune response and inflammation, particularly cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, and this association is linked to a reduction in mortality risk through modulation of systemic inflammation.

How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Consumption of fermented dairy products is associated with measurable changes in blood proteins involved in immune and inflammatory pathways, and these changes are linked to lower mortality rates.

See the scientific wording

The proteomic signatures of fermented dairy intake are enriched for biological pathways related to immune response and inflammation, particularly cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, suggesting these foods may reduce mortality risk by modulating systemic inflammation.

Why this might work

Eating fermented dairy lowers levels of specific inflammatory proteins in the blood, which reduces chronic inflammation throughout the body. This leads to less damage to blood vessels and tissues, and lowers the chance of dying from heart disease or other causes.

1 study

  1. Study: High-fat and low-fat fermented milk and cheese intake, proteomic signatures, and risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality

    This study found that people who ate more cheese and fermented milk had lower death rates, and their blood showed changes in proteins that control inflammation — suggesting these foods might help people live longer by calming harmful inflammation.
