Researchers from Cambridge University (University of Cambridge) as the basis of his work took the data of more than 25 thousand men and women living in the county of Norfolk in the north of the UK. They compared the daily ration of 753 people, who at the time of entry into the 11-year study has already been established type II diabetes, dietary habits with 3.5 thousand people, randomly selected to participate. It turned out that those who have eaten large amounts of low-fat dairy products, including yogurt, low-fat cheese or cottage cheese, diabetes after 11 years, met at 24% less likely than those who did not eat such foods. And when used for more than four 125-gram jars natural nonfat yogurt a week the risk of diabetes type decreased by 28%.

Sunday Sept 16, 2012 (foodconsumer.org) -- A new study in Cancer Causes and Control suggests that being type 2 diabetic potentially increases risk of death from breast cancer.
