Summary

This study looked at how fermented dairy (like yogurt) and non-fermented dairy (like milk) affect bowel habits and thinking skills in healthy women who have bowel movements every other day or less. 96 women took part, eating 300g of dairy daily for 4 weeks. The goal was to see if one type improves digestion and brain function more than the other, and to understand how the gut and brain are connected.
