Summary

The main objective of this work is to conduct a clinical trial in obese and non-obese individuals testing the ability of low-fat dairy yogurt to improve gastrointestinal health and reduce chronic inflammation. Our central hypothesis is that short and long-term consumption of low-fat dairy yogurt will reduce inflammation to a greater extent in obese individuals by improving intestinal barrier function.

Conditions

• Intestinal Barrier Function
• Chronic Inflammation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Low fat dairy yogurt	Consumption of 12 oz of low fat dairy yogurt daily for 9 weeks
OTHER	Soy pudding	Consumption of 12 oz of low fat soy pudding daily for 9 weeks.
