Deans' stroke musings: Kefir drink causes a significant yet similar improvement in serum lipid profile, compared with low-fat milk, in a dairy-rich diet in overweight or obese premenopausal women: A randomized controlled trial

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Kefir drink causes a significant yet similar improvement in serum lipid profile, compared with low-fat milk, in a dairy-rich diet in overweight or obese premenopausal women: A randomized controlled trial

Notice the very limited category this was tested on.

Journal of Clinical Lipidology, 11/11/2016 Fathi Y, et al.

For this study, researchers evaluate and think about the potential lipid–lowering impacts of kefir drink with low–fat milk in a dairy–rich diet in overweight or obese premenopausal women. Kefir drink causes a significant yet similar improvement in serum lipid profile, contrasted and low–fat milk, in a dairy–rich diet in overweight or obese premenopausal women.

Methods

In this study researchers conducted a 8–week, single–center, multi–arm, parallel–group, outpatient, randomized controlled trial.
A sum of 75 eligible Iranian women aged 25–45 y were randomly allocated to kefir, milk, or control groups.They don't mention eligibility criteria.
Women in the control group got a weight–maintenance diet containing 2 servings/d of low–fat dairy products, while subjects in the milk and kefir groups got a similar diet containing 2 additional servings/d (a total of 4 servings/d) of dairy products from low–fat milk or kefir drink, respectively.
At baseline and study endpoint, serum levels/ratios of total cholesterol (TC), low– and high–density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC and HDLC), triglyceride (TG), Non–HDLC, TC/HDLC, LDLC/HDLC, and TG/LDLC were measured as outcome measures.

Results

In this study after 8 weeks, subjects in the kefir group had altogether lower serum levels/ratios of lipoproteins contrasted with those in the control group (mean between group differences were –10.4 mg/dL, –9.7 mg/dL, –11.5 mg/dL, –0.4, and –0.3 for TC, LDLC, Non–HDLC, TC/HDLC, and LDLC/HDLC, respectively; all p<0.05).
In the milk group comparable results were seen in this study.
In any case, no such noteworthy contrasts were found between the kefir and milk groups.
