Skyr instead of fruit yoghurt
More protein, markedly less added sugar, the same reach into the chiller cabinet.
Order of magnitude
Plain skyr or plain quark with fresh fruit instead of sweetened fruit yoghurt, around 150 to 200 grams.
No trial compares skyr or Greek yoghurt with regular yoghurt on these markers (G-D2). The rows are therefore no-effect statements, not placeholder percentages. The nearest opened paper is the dairy meta-analysis of total dairy intake, not of this swap.
Effects in detail
Each row is a directed edge from our database, with range, latency, evidence grade and the condition under which it applies at all.
| Marker | Effect | Latency | Mode of action | Outcome | Evidence | Condition | Sources |
|---|
What this measure costs
Counteracting effects of the same measure.
No counteracting effect is on file for this measure. That does not mean there is none, only that we found no defensible edge.
Moves without implying progress
Informational or no established effect: the marker moves or was checked, and that is not progress.
| Marker | Effect | Latency | Mode of action | Outcome | Evidence | Condition | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fasting glucose | checked, nothing happens. No established effect No head-to-head trial. The dairy meta-analysis reports fasting glucose and HOMA-IR for more dairy overall, not for skyr instead of fruit yoghurt. Kept as a no-effect row rather than deleted, because users will ask about this swap. | not specified | postprandial | unclear | Evidence grade C | applies regardless of the starting value | |
| Triglycerides | checked, nothing happens. No established effect No trial of this swap on triglycerides. Any effect would run only via the sugar saved; no pooled figure for that sits here. Anyone already eating plain yoghurt has already made this swap. | not specified | chronic | no | Evidence grade C | applies regardless of the starting value |
