yogurt Questions...

I checked the few Activia Light I have in the fridge and they're only 8-9 grams of sugar depending on the flavor. They taste great in my opinion and they can help keep you regular which is always a plus.

On a side note: I never realized people had a problem with yogurt and dumping. Is there really that much sugar in them? I never had a problem with dumping from them so I never checked it although I only eat the light versions. How much worse are the regular ones vs the light/fat free as far as grams of sugar?

This is for the Dannon Lite and Fit Blueberry flavor  It is from their website.  I don't know how up to date it is.

I personally only use the greek ygourt and flavor it myself w/ sf syrups or splenda.

Good luck

OK - I'm trying different things with the Fage yogurt myself - I need to mix my diet up a little and since the other yogurts have so much sugar I'm really working with the Fage. I bought a 7 oz container which they count as one serving, but it has 8 g of sugar, so I only ate half, and dipped an apple into it - that was okay.

Today I'm having the other half and added sf strawberry preserves and a sliced banana and its actually very good. A little Splenda might make it a bit sweeter but for me its good. Plus you can adjust how much of the preserves and banana you want to add. I think I'll keep getting this and experimenting - this one turned out pretty good. And this yogurt is more substantial than the other stuff, so it does seem to stick with you longer, and one 7 oz serving has 17 grams of protein - not too shabby....

Bear in mind that some of those sugars probably come from the milk itself in the yogurt.

That's why you'll never see truly "sugar free" dairy products - the natural sugars in the dairy.

Yeah I get that part. But the Barix babies are told anything over 2G, sugar can not be in the top 5 ingredients. So i can have something with 20G of sugar so long as sugar is below ingriedient #5.

and I always thought fructose WAS sugar?

I think I'd rather be safe than sorry (or puking) and eat my greek yogurts.

Thanks everyone.
