Does yogurt reduce risk of diabetes? The FDA says it might.

The FDA has approved a health claim linking yogurt to reduced type 2 diabetes risk, based on scientific evidence. It highlights yogurt's potential benefits but stresses the need for a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Yogurt contains nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and certain fatty acids that may improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of insulin resistance, a key factor in type 2 diabetes.

While the FDA authorizes the claim, moderation and a balanced diet are essential for reaping yogurt's benefits. Alongside physical activity and weight management, incorporating yogurt into a nutritious diet can support overall health.
