"FDA Allows Limited Claim: Yogurt May Reduce Risk of Type 2 Diabetes"

The FDA has announced that food makers can advertise that regularly eating yogurt may reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes without objection, in response to a petition from Danone North America. The FDA will not oppose the claim, with the caveat that any language to consumers must note that the evidence is limited and that eating two cups of yogurt per week is the threshold for reducing the risk of Type 2 diabetes. Research has shown a link between regular yogurt consumption and a reduced risk of diabetes, but it's important to note that flavored yogurts are often high in added sugars and should be limited.
