18 Nov 2020 --- A lower dairy intake may be beneficial for people with metabolic syndrome, according to a new trial published by researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, US.“Unlike previous observational studies, which suggested a beneficial relationship between fermented dairy foods – such as yogurt, as well as high-fat dairy foods – and better metabolic health, our rigorous randomized, controlled trial could not confirm that eating more dairy foods lowers people’s blood sugar levels,” says Dr. Mario Kratz, an associate professor in Fred Hutch’s Public Health Sciences Division.
