FDA approves limited health claims linking yogurt consumption to reduced type 2 diabetes risk.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved limited health claims linking regular yogurt consumption (at least 2 cups or 3 servings per week) to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. This decision is based on limited evidence from studies involving over 300,000 individuals. The FDA's announcement aims to provide consumers with additional information to help lower their risk of developing type 2 diabetes through a simple, realistic dietary change. Danone North America submitted a petition for the claim, which follows a review of research on yogurt and type 2 diabetes.
