Milk and yogurt may fight inflammation in overweight adults
NCT ID NCT04902417
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether eating more dairy products for 6 weeks could lower inflammation and other signs of heart disease in overweight adults. Thirty-two people with low dairy intake and at least two other risk factors (like high blood pressure or blood sugar) took part. Researchers measured inflammation and blood fats before and after a high-fat meal to see if dairy made a difference.
