sugar question. fat free yogurt.

Even if you add a little honey you will still be adding fewer grams of sugar than what comes in presweetened yogurt. Plus you can get a lot more creative and I actually think it tastes better. One of my favorite things to do is to stir pieces of dried mango into a cup or so of yogurt at night. In the morning the mango is rehydrated from absorbing the liquid in the yogurt and the yogurt is super thick and creamy.

I don't think i saw a sugar free plain yogurt at the grocery store. Could the sugar be from an ingredient? maybe milk? i read somewhere that he max daily sugar intake should be like 48 grams.
