The FDA has declared yogurt to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Yogurt contains a high amount of probiotic bacteria that improve the function of the digestive system and can contribute to the health of the entire body.

A cup of yogurt 200 ml contains 200-360 mg of calcium, which is 20-36% of the recommended daily amount, all in one cup. The yogurt is produced by bacteria that lower the ph and cause the milk to ferment. Because of this, yogurt is considered a dairy product in lactose and easier to digest.
