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 effect of skim milk, yoghurt, and full cream milk on human serum lipids.
The hypothesis that certain milk products contain a cholesterol-lowering " milk factor " was tested in adolescent schoolboys whose diets were complemented with 2 L of skim milk , yoghurt , or full cream milk daily for 3 wk . After a fall in all serum lipids during the precomplementation wk , serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol continued to fall on skim milk ; in contrast , it rose for the first 2 wk on yoghurt or full cream milk . These changes correlated with dietary fat and cholesterol intakes . Total cholesterol returned to base-line values during the 3rd wk on yoghurt or full cream milk . High-density lipoprotein cholesterol and percentage high-density lipoprotein/total cholesterol rose transiently in all three groups , with the highest levels being recorded on full cream milk . Serum triglycerides tended to decrease in all groups . No convincing evidence of a milk factor could be found , but skim milk appeared to have a cholesterol-lowering effect at least partly due to its low lipid content
