London: Eating one table spoon of yoghurt can significantly cut your
chances of getting diabetes.
Including one tablespoon of yoghurt daily in your diet reduces the
risk of getting type 2 diabetes by nearly a fifth.
It was found that the amount of dairy foods in general people ate did
not cut the risk of developing diabetes in the study participants who
already had it, but when they looked at eating specific products –
such as milk and cheese – they spotted the link between yoghurt and a
lower risk of Type 2 diabetes
The research revealed that eating one 28g serving of yoghurt per day
was associated with an 18 per cent lower risk.
Professor Frank Hu at the Harvard School of Public Health said that
they found that higher intake of yoghurt is associated with a reduced
risk of type 2 diabetes , whereas other dairy foods and consumption of
total dairy did not show this association and the consistent findings
for yoghurt suggest that it can be incorporated into a healthy dietary
pattern.
