Study findings on how MI-2 LAB affects fatIn this study, a pool of 100 healthy and mildly obese adults with relatively high BMIs (25-30 kg/m2) were equally divided into two groups (each consisting of 50 individuals), of which one was served a pack of yogurt containing MI-2 LAB every day for 12 weeks while the other was served the same amount of yogurt at the same frequency simultaneously but without any MI-2 LAB in it. When the two groups were compared at the end of the period, it was found that the yogurt containing MI-2 LAB had the effect of reducing abdominal fat (total abdominal fat) significantly more in the individuals that consumed it than in the individuals that ate the yogurt not containing any MI-2 LAB (Figure 1).
