The F.D.A. will now allow yogurt makers to claim it can \u2014 but the evidence is mixed.<\/p>\n

Nonfat or full-fat, flavored or plain, probiotic or natural \u2014 yogurt is already peppered with labels. But you may soon see a new claim on your container: This month, the Food and Drug Administration announced<\/a> it will allow yogurt makers to say their products may prevent Type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

The F.D.A. said<\/a> it has found \u201climited scientific evidence\u201d that consuming yogurt may reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes. The agency\u2019s decision came in response to a petition submitted on behalf of Danone North America, which makes yogurts sold under brands including Activia, Dannon and Oikos.<\/p>\n

Yogurt can be a nutrient-rich food and part of a healthy diet, and there is some evidence to suggest that people who eat it regularly have a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes, said Dr. Frank Hu, a professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.<\/p>\n

But consumers may not realize that \u201climited evidence\u201d means \u201cthe evidence isn\u2019t very strong,\u201d said Bonnie Liebman, the director of nutrition for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which submitted a public comment<\/a> opposing the petition. Here\u2019s what the science says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
