"FDA Allows Limited Claim: Yogurt Reduces Type 2 Diabetes Risk"
TL;DR
The US FDA has approved a limited health claim for yogurt, stating that eating at least 2 cups (3 servings) per week may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, based on limited scientific evidence. This decision comes after a 2018 petition by Danone North America, but some experts question the strength of the supporting research and the overall impact of yogurt on diabetes prevention. The claim has sparked debate, with concerns raised about the role of added sugar in yogurt and the multifactorial nature of type 2 diabetes. The FDA's approval of this claim highlights the importance of using common sense when evaluating health claims and making dietary choices.
