Content: Early research shows that eating yogurt might prevent plaque build-up in people who do not brush their teeth for 5 days. Diabetes. People who eat yogurt may have a slightly lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with those who don't yogurt. Eating yogurt might also improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. It might also improve blood sugar control in women who develop diabetes during pregnancy. Best evidence is for yogurt fortified with vitamin D. Yogurt fortified with probiotics doesn't seem to have added benefit. Diarrhea. Yogurt formula given as a replacement for milk formula in infants and young children seems to relieve persistent diarrhea. Eating yogurt that is not enriched with probiotics doesn't seem to relieve sudden diarrhea in young children. But eating yogurt with added probiotic bacteria might help.
