Yogurt Lovers Have Better Diets
People who like yogurt may be enjoying more than its
taste and texture. They also may be enjoying a better-balanced diet and getting
more key nutrients than people who never eat the cultured dairy product, new research shows.
As a group, people who said they ate yogurt also reported consuming higher amounts of other good-for-you foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish and whole grains, than did people who didn't eat yogurt. And their diets obtained fewer calories from processed meats, refined grains and beer than did the diets of non-yogurt eaters, according to the study, which received some funding from a yogurt manufacturer.
The peer-reviewed findings are available online in the
journal Nutrition Research.
