The many claims of yogurt

[Trisha]

According to some, yogurt can make people live to be 100. It is anti everything except for arthritis, so if you have that you will only live until 80 or so (just guessing). Yogurt is anti-cancer, anti-allergy, anti-cholesterol (even the full fat variety), anti-candida, anti-diarhea, anti-everything. You will need to eat at least a cup a day, can divide it morning and night. It shoud be yogurt that is not sweetened with sugar and you should not eat sugar in the diet to get the full benefits of yogurt. On the label it should say active bacterial culture. Do NOT freeze it. Frozen yogurt has no benefit.
Enjoy your yogurt !

Any particular yogurt you trust so I know what to try?

Not really, but it must say ACTIVE bacterial cultures. Even the full fat varieties are anti-cholesterol,(but more calories). I do eat one with Splenda, and I know some don't like the artificial sweeteners, but I don't like it sweetened with sugar, particularly because it has to be sweetened with ALOT of sugar. Just cut sugar wherever you can and the "whites" for example white flour, potatoes without the skins, these starches quickly turn to sugar. Incidentally caffeine releases stored sugar from the liver, so I limit that to one cup in the morning on days when Im behaving myself. Actually we would all be alot healthier if we ate like a diabetic and included yogurt in our diet. It is not easy but worth it.
