Sugar?

There can't be that much, because that's lactobacillus food. Fage total 2% yogurt (plain): 9g sugars, 23g protein, 4.5g fat, 15mg cholesterol per 1 cup serving.

But 12 g sugar in an 8 oz serving of Dannon plain yogurt. You said it to begin with - the sugar is bacteria food, so the amount of sugar in any brand of yogurt depends on how much the manufacturer lets it ferment.




I guess here's the part I don't understand ... if someone doesn't like unsweetened yogurt, then don't eat it! There are plenty of other ways to expose your system to good microorganisms - raw sauerkraut, kombucha, miso, raw soy sauce (nama shoyu is SO delicious it's worth the price and you'll probably never buy any other kind again), cultured butter, etc., etc., etc......

Oh, no thanks on the sauerkraut, kombucha, miso... I've also found that I really prefer to avoid soy as I'm approaching the age where my hormones start to get minds of their own. I've tried to gulp down kombucha and just could not control my gag reflexes.

I like plain yogurt (with fat) with just a bit of thawed frozen berries, or even better, in a homemade smoothie with a banana. It's so easy even for non-cooks.

I totally agree. I used to try to eat cottage cheese about a million different ways from Sunday because I hated it and figured I'd find a method that I could tolerate...and then I just realized I was being stupid. If I don't like it, I'm not eating it. Life is way to short to eat yucky food! (I don't eat yogurt anymore either....)
