I think the important thing to remember with yogurt is that sugar content is often very high. It is recommended that people eat 10 teaspoons (or 40 grams) of sugar a day at most. The average American typically consumes nearly 20 teaspoons a day! Also, there has been a lot of attention paid to the "type" of sugar that you eat but the bottom line is that your body processes sugars as sugars whether it be from juice, fruit, or corn syrup. By eating many of these yogurts you are eating 1/2 or more of your daily recommended allowance of sugar. The Center for Science in the Public Interest is a good source for information about this but I just think it's important that people pay more attention to sugars in general. Sometimes we don't pay attention to it as much as we should, especially in something like yogurt because it is often viewed as "health food."

I eat the Fage Total yogurt all the time. So good!

La Creme is SO yummy. I know it has fat in it, but to me, it's more like eating ice cream then yogurt. I eat it often now that I'm pregnant to ensure I get my dairy allotment.

Fage has 20 grams of fat!? Holy cow - I need to try to lower fat versions of Fage. If I did try the classic, I'm sure I'd fall in love with it - it's got to be like eating cream.

mmmmmm yogurt....

I'm with you, cemp1979. For that reason, I only buy plain, organic, nonfat yogurt, and then add fruit or granola if I want it a bit sweeter. Buying it plain also means I can use in in savory dishes wherever I'd use sour cream. It is also a lot cheaper to buy it by the the quart, as plain yogurt is often sold (It is also environmentally conscious, as there's less packaging this way, and the large yogurt containers are easily reused).

It is also really easy to find jams and jellies that are only sweetened by fruit juice, and natural peanut (and other nut butters) that don't contain sugar at all. I also found that most teas don't require sugar if they aren't over-brewed.

I actually love desserts (especially homemade cookies), but basically try to keep sugar out of places where I don't need it, and keep an eye out for sugar when buying anything processed (high fructose corn syrup is everywhere!). It has been pretty easy, actually.

Yeah, I hear you bpjedi - companies LOVE to put unnecessary sugar in everything they can.

i try to avoid eating jams actually cos they still contain too much sugar, but its fine for me cos i like my stuff plain!

oh, and you're right about the tea. i used to work in coffeebean and thats where i learnt the joys of drinking tea without anything added

I only eat yoplait light, I do wanna try Dannon Activa tho.

Danon's Light and fit is very good too. It comes in a smaller container.But contains: 40 calories and ONLY 5 grams of sugar
