Who knew yogurt could have such an impact on T2D prevention? The research shows that eating yogurt could reduce the risk up to 28%, compared with people who didn’t eat low-fat, yogurt.
The goodness translates to other foods in the category, as well. Higher consumption of low-fat fermented dairy products, such as yogurt and some cheeses, also lowered the relative risk of diabetes by 24%.
Nobody’s saying gorge yourself in all things yogurt. A lead researcher has words of dietary wisdom to share. “Specific foods may have an important role in the prevention of Type 2 diabetes, and are relevant for public health”. It’s not about red wine and chocolate, this week.
The specific food saving the day is yogurt. Whether you indulge in a frappe, salad, side dish, or afternoon snack – yogurt may be the ally you need to allay your diabetes risk. Eat up!
