Scientists have known for years that eating yogurt reduces the risk of diabetes, but the reasons behind this protective effect have not been clear
"These metabolites, known as branched-chain hydroxy acids (BCHA), are the result of the action of yogurt lactic acid bacteria on natural amino acids in milk," explains study co-author André Marette, professor at the Université Laval School of Medicine and Québec Cardiopulmonary Researcher of the Institute
The researchers discovered this when they looked at the effects of yogurt on mice fed a diet high in sugar and fat
"In the group that did not drink yogurt, the amount of these metabolites in the blood and liver decreased with weight gain
"BCHA is found in fermented dairy products and is especially abundant in yogurt
