When young women ate yogurt with cereal for breakfast, their blood sugar stayed much lower after eating than when they ate a coconut-based cereal breakfast.
Scientific Claim
In young women, consuming a breakfast of Greek yogurt with granola results in a 52% lower two-hour blood glucose incremental area under the curve compared to a breakfast of cultured coconut product with granola, suggesting that high-protein dairy-based meals may more effectively moderate postprandial glucose spikes.
Original Statement
“The 2 h blood glucose iAUC was 52% lower after the dairy compared with nondairy treatment (P < 0.0001).”
Evidence Quality Assessment

Appropriate Language Strength
probability
Can suggest probability/likelihood
Assessment Explanation
The study is a randomized crossover trial, which supports causal language, but sample size is small (n=24) and blinding unknown, so probability verbs are more appropriate than definitive ones.
More Accurate Statement
“In young women, consuming a breakfast of Greek yogurt with granola is likely to result in a 52% lower two-hour blood glucose incremental area under the curve compared to a breakfast of cultured coconut product with granola.”
Evidence from Studies
Supporting (1)
When young women ate Greek yogurt with granola instead of a coconut-based product with granola, their blood sugar stayed much lower after eating—because the yogurt had more protein, which helps slow down sugar spikes.
