Beneficial health effects are indicated by the consumption of yogurt as an integral part of a well-balanced diet (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6743821/ and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5682997/); however, little is known about the responsible physiological mechanisms.
