hi all, does anyone of you eat yogurt? if so, which brand(s) do u eat and why? i'm quite overwhelmed by the various kinds of yogurt - low-fat, low sugar, light, active etc.

i usually eat the danone mousse cos i like the taste. but i'm not sure if that's a good one.

any input?

this could be a very good topic to write about!!!

i like any yogurt that is low-fat. personally i don't like the taste of artificial sweeteners so i'm not a big fan of low sugar or low carb ones. i also like dannon's mousse too as a treat

guys, we just published a new article about yogurt. hope that helps.

got 1 question here...does yogurt caused problem in constipation?

hey dafnia, it shouldn't be. indeed it should help bowel movement!!!

hi, the one that i enjoy is a yogurt called YEO-VALLY it is organic and tastes great , nothing artificial in it yum,yum , i was never a yogurt lover really , but after tasteing this brand, i have one every morning now, and if i buy other brands with artificial stuff in them they taste horrible . so if you have never tried it , you are missing a great tasting yogurt.........anyone would thing that i have shares in this brand LOL but i love it ,and they also do a low fat one now as well

hi may, i'm also thinking to go organic for dairy products now. but i've never heard of yeo-valley

here in England it is available in most supermarkets morrisons and somerfields both stock it , and Asda have also started stocking it, i have started to buy organic fresh skimmed milk now as well, at one time i could only get semi-skimmed so i am glad that i can now get skimmed as well, i have always had skimmed but could never get organic so things are looking better in the diary organic range .

just curious.....does organic milk taste different from non-organic milk?

must say i havent really noticed ,but i am hoping it is better health wise,for me and the cows

good to know! thanks may!

any differences btween yogurt and yogurt drink? or just the liquid form make them look different? because my fren here really had problem with constipation when it comes to yogurt drink..

hi dafnia, this is really the first time i hear about yogurt and constipation. if the yogurt or yogurt drink contains active bacterial culture, it should actually help constipation, not aggravate it. but i'm not too sure how they make yogurt drinks in ukraine so i can't really comment about that

Hi everyone , Yes I eat yogurt and my usual brand is Dannon but I like to make my own at home whenever I can and I use Dannon yogurt as a culture . I make my yogurt with 1% lowfat milk or skim milk and add instant nonfat dried milk to it . I bring the milk to a boil then remove it from the burner and wait until the milk has cooled to 110 degrees then I add 1/2 cup of Dannon plain yogurt to each quart of milk and stir the milk until the yogurt is completely mixed in with the milk . After I finish blending the yogurt with the milk I pour it into 1/2 pint glass jars and seal the lid tightly and place the jars in an ice chest with enough 115 degree hot water to be even with the top of the jars lids and shut the ice chest and let the yogurt set overnight . I remove the yogurt the next morning and let it cool before putting it in the refrigerator . I eat yogurt with fresh fruit mixed in to help my digestion and aid in preventing me from getting prostate cancer again . I like home made yogurt best because it is thicker than store bought yogurt and if I want to sweeten it I add either Honey or Splenda then add what ever kind of fruit I am craving at the time . I find that Dannon and Yoplait yogurt have the most active cultures for making my own yogurt !

um.......nothing tastes as good as home made stuff!!!! thanks for sharing your recipe!!! since i have made my original post, i have tried so many brands of yogurt with active cultures!! organic / inorganic - u name it!!! i have to say, i prefer the local organic yogurt now - they just taste so much like yogurt (not like pudding or dessert). i hope it's not psychological
