Harvard scientists indicate that daily yogurt consumption reduces type 2 diabetes risk by 20%, regardless of fat content.
The claims about yogurt reducing diabetes risk have limited support. Some studies, including those cited by Harvard, suggest an association between yogurt consumption and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, but the evidence is not robust enough to definitively state a 20% risk reduction. Additionally, while some sources imply that the fat content of yogurt does not affect its ability to reduce diabetes risk, comprehensive studies confirming this are lacking. Thus, both claims are partially substantiated with specific caveats on the limitations of the evidence.

Daily consumption of yogurt reduces the risk of developing diabetes by almost 20%.
Some scientific evidence suggests that regular yogurt consumption is associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. Harvard research supports this claim, but the evidence is limited as noted by sources like the FDA which describe the relationship as not conclusive. Thus, the claim is partially supported but with caution due to limited evidence.

The fat content of the yogurt does not matter in reducing diabetes risk.
There is no definitive evidence that conclusively shows that fat content does not matter in reducing diabetes risk when consuming yogurt. While some studies discuss yogurt's benefits, none provide strong evidence on the effect of fat content on diabetes risk.
