For studies of a similar design and which assessed the same outcomes in similar population groups , we report the potential for the combining of data across studies in systematic review s. CONCLUSIONS This scoping review has revealed the extensive evidence base for many outcomes which could be the focus of systematic review s exploring the health effects of conventional yogurt consumption
BACKGROUND The health effects of conventional yogurt have been investigated for over a century ; however , few systematic review s have been conducted to assess the extent of the health benefits of yogurt .
OBJECTIVE The aim of this scoping review was to assess the volume of available evidence on the health effects of conventional yogurt .
The amount and type of dairy product intake and incident type 2 diabetes: results from the EPIC-InterAct Study.
BACKGROUND Dairy product intake may be inversely associated with risk of type 2 diabetes  , but the evidence is inconclusive for total dairy products and sparse for types of dairy products . OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate the prospect i ve association of total dairy products and different dairy subtypes with  incidence of diabetes in population s with marked variation of intake of these food groups . DESIGN A nested case-cohort within 8 European countries of the European Prospect i ve Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Study ( n = 340,234 ; 3.99 million person-years of follow-up ) included a r and om subcohort ( n = 16,835 ) and incident diabetes cases ( n = 12,403 ) .  Baseline dairy product intake was assessed by using dietary question naires . Country-specific Prentice-weighted Cox regression HRs were calculated and pooled by using a r and om-effects meta- analysis . RESULTS Intake of total dairy products was not associated with diabetes ( HR for the comparison of the highest with the lowest quintile of total dairy products : 1.01 ; 95 % CI : 0.83 , 1.34 ; P-trend = 0.92 ) in an analysis adjusted for age , sex , BMI , diabetes risk factors , education , and dietary factors . Of the dairy subtypes , cheese intake tended to have an inverse association with diabetes ( HR : 0.88 ; 95 % CI : 0.76 , 1.02 ; P-trend = 0.01 ) , and a higher combined intake of fermented dairy products ( cheese , yogurt , and thick fermented milk ) was inversely associated with diabetes ( HR : 0.88 ; 95 % CI : 0.78 , 0.99 ; P-trend = 0.02 ) in adjusted analyses that compared extreme quintiles . CONCLUSIONS This large prospect i ve study found no association between total dairy product intake and diabetes risk . An inverse association of cheese intake and combined fermented dairy product intake with diabetes is suggested , which merits further study
