Happy accident: Yogurt every day helps keep diabetes away?

Posted by Staff on Thursday, October 17, 2024

“Happy accident” is an idiom meaning something good happens unexpectedly when it otherwise could have been a problem. Around 5,000 BC when milk was exposed to warm temperatures and bacteria, yogurt was the happy accident.  

Yogurt is a high-quality protein source containing micronutrients. Yogurt can be a source of vitamins A, B2 (riboflavin), B5 (pantothenic acid), and B12 (cobalamin). Some other micronutrients include calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iodine, and zinc. Yogurt is low in sodium.
