At present, almost all yoghurts in the market are added with white sugar. Those so-called original yoghurts are actually added with sugar, which will reduce the absorption and utilization rate of calcium.

Yogurt is rich in protein, vitamins, trace elements and proper amount of fat, and it is a low GI food, which has little effect on blood sugar. However, in order to satisfy the taste and flavor of healthy people, especially young people, many manufacturers now add a certain amount of sucrose such as white sugar to yogurt, so yogurt with fruit flavor and jujube flavor has a high sugar content. In addition, there are some yogurt drinks, including sour milk drinks, lactic acid drinks, lactic acid bacteria drinks, etc. They are not yogurt, but milk-containing drinks, not fermented milk. Yogurt drinks and yogurts have very different nutritional components, and usually have higher sugar content.

note: the higher the carbohydrate content in yogurt, the more added sugar it contains.

The raw material of yogurt is milk, which contains 4%~5% natural lactose. The sweetness of lactose is very low, and some of it becomes lactic acid in yogurt fermentation, so the yogurt after fermentation will be very sour if it is not blended with some sugar. Therefore, at least 6%~7% sugar should be added to make yogurt taste better. To make it sweet, add 8%~11% sugar. Lactose and added sugar are carbohydrates, so the carbohydrate content of yogurt is usually between 11% and 15% (111-15 grams of sugar in 111 grams of products). Everyone knows that yogurt has health benefits, but sugar has no great benefits except increasing calories and raising blood sugar. Therefore, when choosing yogurt, you can read the label carefully, and give priority to the varieties with lower carbohydrate content on the premise of ensuring high protein content. Generally speaking, the sugar content of children's products and fruity products will be higher, so it is recommended to buy less.

remind everyone that when buying yogurt, pay attention to the nutrient composition list and ingredient list, and choose the original yogurt with low sugar content.
