The Claim

After eating yogurt with cereal, young women’s bodies released almost twice as much insulin as after eating coconut-based cereal, which likely helped lower their blood sugar without making them hungrier later.

Source: The effects of cultured dairy and non-dairy products added to breakfast cereals on blood glucose control, satiation, satiety, and short-term food intake in young women.

In plain English

After eating yogurt with cereal, young women’s bodies released almost twice as much insulin as after eating coconut-based cereal, which likely helped lower their blood sugar without making them hungrier later.

See the scientific wording

Postprandial insulin levels increase 1.8-fold after consumption of a Greek yogurt with granola breakfast compared to a cultured coconut product with granola breakfast in young women, which may account for the greater reduction in blood glucose without increasing subsequent food intake.

  1. Study: The effects of cultured dairy and non-dairy products added to breakfast cereals on blood glucose control, satiation, satiety, and short-term food intake in young women.

    Eating Greek yogurt with granola made young women’s bodies release 1.8 times more insulin than eating coconut yogurt with granola, which helped lower their blood sugar more — without making them hungrier or eat more later.
