/filters:quality(70)/content/b2/ku/uuvgy3pt589df96a90b70700411109_400x600.jpg)
If you’re at risk for diabetes, adding gruyere to your grocery list can slash your chances of developing the disease. Why? Because gruyere is higher in butyrate than other kinds of cheese. Butyrate has been found in research studies to help balance blood sugar, something that can cut the risk of it dramatically. Use gruyere to make the best macaroni and cheese you’ve ever had.

Gruyere cheese is a type of Swiss cheese that is made from unpasteurized cow's milk and aged for at least five months. It has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and a creamy texture. Gruyere is a great addition to any meal, from mac and cheese to grilled cheese sandwiches.
But what makes gruyere cheese so special? It's rich in butyrate, a type of fatty acid that has been found to help balance blood sugar levels. This is important because high blood sugar levels can put you at risk for diabetes. Research has found that people who consume higher amounts of butyrate have a lower risk of developing diabetes.
Gruyere cheese is also a good source of protein, calcium, and other essential vitamins and minerals. It's also a good source of probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that can help support a healthy gut. Eating probiotic-rich foods can help improve digestion, boost your immune system, and reduce inflammation.
