Yogurt-one of the top health foods

I (Hippo) was taste-testing different types and different brands of yogurt today. Also during testing I noted the ingredients on each container. Many yogurts are similar and then there are others that appear great on the surface and then when more closely examined the sugar or sodium content or fat content is perhaps out of kilter for what you require. Protein amounts are also to be noted and cholesterol.

Several ways that yogurt is a top health food:

1. It is known that yogurt is easier to digest than milk.
2. Yogurt contributes to colon health
3. Yogurt is good for the young and the older person.
4. Yogurt can boost immunity.
5. Yogurt is a rich source of protein.
6. Yogurt is a source of calcium.
7. Yogurt can decrease yeast infection.

Here is a myth: All foods made with yogurt are created equal-" No Not so...."
Always check ingredients and nutritional  properties.  eg.  sugars , sodium , cholesterol, fats,  protein , calcium etc.
