Eating yogurt could help prevent one common disease, according to the FDA

The FDA has indicated that regularly eating yogurt may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, supporting a claim by Danone North America. This "qualified health claim" suggests potential benefits, though evidence is not conclusive. The claim will be allowed on yogurt labels under strict conditions to prevent misleading consumers. Diet expert Sherry Coleman Collins emphasizes that while yogurt can be beneficial, overall dietary patterns and including a variety of healthy foods are crucial for reducing disease risk.
