Abstract

To determine the effect of yogurt intake on plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels, studies were carried out in 18 normolipidemic males during 3 dietary phases. Phase 1 was a low-fat, low-cholesterol baseline diet consumed for 3 weeks. The baseline diet was supplemented with low-fat yogurt (16 oz/day) for 4 weeks during phase 2, and during phase 3 the supplement consisted of a non-fermented dairy product (16 oz low-fat milk plus 10% milk solids). Average body weights and dietary intakes of fat, cholesterol and polyunsaturate/saturate fat ratios were not significantly different for the 3 dietary phases. Plasma total, LDL- and HDL-cholesterol were unaffected by either the yogurt of low-fat milk concentrate. The results indicate that yogurt, as an example of a fermented dairy product, has no effect on plasma cholesterol levels of normolipidemic males.
