“Dairy products, particularly fermented dairy products, have anti-inflammatory properties in humans not suffering from allergies to milk,” said Bradley Bolling, citing research from University of Wisconsin during the World Dairy Expo.

A UW study involving 132 women over nine weeks, yogurt provided some anti-inflammatory benefits, said Bolling. Half the women in the trial ate 12 ounces of yogurt per day while the other half ate 12 ounces of soy pudding. Half the women were also of normal weight while half were obese. “We see some modest anti-inflammation decreases in both lean and obese women in our studies, and more so in obese women,” shared Bolling.
