Diabetes prevention

Yogurt can contribute to reduce the risks of Type 2 diabetes. Researchers found that total dairy consumption had no association with the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, but that high consumption of yogurt was associated with a lower risk. A 28g serving of yogurt per day was associated with an 18% lower risk of Type 2 diabetes. Another study showed that higher consumption of low-fat fermented dairy products, which include all yogurt varieties and some low-fat cheeses, also reduced the relative risk of diabetes by 24% overall. Several meta-analysis shows the positive, preventive impact of the yogurt consumption to reduce the risks of type 2 diabetes.
