Midwives and health visitors recommend not giving low fat yoghurt to babies only the full fat version. If its not good for babies it cant be much good for us!

The best yogurt is natural yogurt. You can flavour it yourself. You can also make it. It's great as a salad dressing, especially for cucumber. Ayran is a very good accompaniment for a hot dish (Indian or Turkish). Natural yogurt diluted with up to 50% iced water. With a little salt added, it's a fantastic thirst quencher on a hot day and much healthier than that gassy drink from the USA.

They come under the heading of "white things in pots" as far as I'm concerned. Most low fat yoghurts are full of sugar, as you suspect. Reading the labels is best, you'll also discover all the chemicals with long names they've got, too.
Milk is naturally about 5% fat - so get natural, whole milk yoghurt with nothing added - that won't turn you into a great wobbling tub of lard if you don't put sugar in it. Bit of salt maybe - I agree with the person who recommended ayran, I love it.

They're good for you, but you really have to read the labels. Or you can find ones that are "low fat" and that don't have a lot of other stuff in there to boost up the flavoring.

Often fat free yogs are packed with sugar. Obviously it depends which one you get. Brands like Mullerlight are good because they use natural fruit sugars instead.
