"The authors showed that in logistic regression analysis, adjusting for demographic and lifestyle factors as well as cholesterol-lowering medication use, people for whom more than 2% of their daily total calorie intake came from yoghurt had a 31% lower risk for incident hypertension than those who did not eat yoghurt. The authors say that this intake of yoghurt is equivalent to at least one 6-ounce cup of low-fat yoghurt every 3 days."
