Milk membrane may tame metabolic syndrome inflammation

This study looked at whether a natural part of milk fat called milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) can lower harmful gut bacteria products in the blood and improve health markers in adults with metabolic syndrome. Thirty people with metabolic syndrome followed a controlled diet with either MFGM-enriched milk or a placebo milk for two weeks each. Researchers measured blood toxins, blood sugar, cholesterol, and gut health to see if MFGM could reduce inflammation and improve metabolic control.
