This yogurt is essentially a little milk and a bunch of inedible corn, like almost every yogurt on the market. No one should be ingesting GMOs, but anyone with allergies, blood sugar problems, or digestive issues should be especially diligent in avoiding them. The only widely available yogurt on the market without GMO corn is Dannon whole milk plain and I can't get my grocery store to carry it (apparently I am the only person in the world that wants whole milk plain yogurt). (I hate to get off topic, but isn't anyone else horrified by this new trend of putting toddlers on non-fat and low-fat diets?) I also can't get milk without GMO corn so that I can make my own which is my preference, actually. Didn't you know there is GMO corn in your organic milk? Anything fortified with vitamins in this country contains GMO corn. That includes table salt, milk, white rice, wheat products, vitamin supplements - even organic brands.

I have a severe reaction to gluten, beans, tubers, rice, corn starch and more. I have controlled my diet so that I have had no symptoms in a long time. This week the symptoms came back and I could not figure out why. Then I remembered the 2 tbs of Yoplait in the sample. Yes, a list of ingredients is essential for people with food allergies or incompatibilities. What % of cornstarch is in Yoplait? Whatever it is, is too much for me. LIST YOUR INGREDIENTS, YOPLAIT!

I always knew it had a boost of sugar, which is not bad if you eat it right after a workout. With that said, how do you balance the pros and cons of eating this yogurt versus an organic fat free yogurt that you must mix with your own berries and sugar. Should I take the plunge?

I suspected the "light" version was "artificially sweetened", which is such a shame. That artificial sweetener is just terrible for so many of us - we think we have IBS or lactose intolerance or whatever (horrible symptoms), when in fact it is artificial sweetener causing all the angst. I'm all for saving calories, goodness knows, but I will have to go for sugar if I want to eat yogurt (which I do!) For years I thought I couldn't eat yogurt....now I realize it is just "light" that I can't eat (unless I want to spend the rest of the day in the lady's room!) Great article.
