Can incorporating yogurt into your diet keep diabetes at bay?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has implied that it’s possible.
The health agency announced in March that it will not object to a claim from Danone North America — maker of Dannon and other popular yogurt brands — that regularly eating yogurt could reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
The FDA intends to allow the claim to appear on yogurt food labels, “provided that the qualified health claims are worded so as not to mislead consumers, and that other factors for the use of the claim are met.”
