According to researchers from the University of Cambridge, regular consumption of yogurt significantly cut the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. The study, published in the latest issue of Diabetologia, compared the diets of more than 750 men and women who developed Type 2 diabetes over an 11-year-period to3,500 randomly selected people from the same population.
The results: consuming yogurt regularly dramatically reduced the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
Other dairy products also showed a role in reducing the risk of diabetes. When yogurt and low-fat cheese are eaten together, the study also showed that the chances of becoming diabetic was reduced by 24 percent.
