Dairy vs. Plant-Based Yogurt: What Matters for Gut Health? | Dr. Alan Desmond

Is yogurt really good for your gut? What about dairy kefir—and are plant-based yogurts a better choice?

Gastroenterologist Dr. Alan Desmond joins Chuck Carroll to examine the human research behind some of the biggest claims in the yogurt aisle. They discuss why live cultures do not automatically mean lasting health benefits, where fermented dairy can help people with lactose intolerance, what to look for in a plant-based yogurt, and why your overall eating pattern matters more than one product.

Dr. Desmond also talks about his new book, What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You About Food, and the chapter that has drawn more pushback than any other.

Yogurt and the microbiome
Dairy versus plant-based yogurt
Kefir studies
