Is too much sugar in yogurt bad?

wsoliman Posts: 2 Joined: 2003/04/07	2003/04/16, 03:39 PM Seems like everytime I look into the label of any yogurt thats not plain (the ones mixed with fruits) I see a lot of sugar content... is this bad for you? Even the fat free ones... also wanted to know how could it be fat free and have that muchs suger- sometimes up to 48 grams? thanks, -W

Fat free has sugar because sugar has no fat. :) I think the best flavored yogurt I have found is Dannon Lite N Fit Fat Free. But it still has a few sugars. Try just the plain fat free and blend in fresh peachs or strawberries. If you have to have it sweeter after that, I'd add some Splenda maybe. -------------- ~Jennifer http://www.gwindalyn.com

Being a diabetic, sugar is one of the worst thing I can consume, as are sugar alcohols. It seem to be in everything, so I try as hard as it may be sometimes to make everything from scratch. And by the way the term FAT FREE does not always mean that it is good for consumption. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

I believe Splenda consists of Sucrolose and Fructose. Each serving has between 8,8 to 9.8 mg of sucrolose 9.1 gms of carbs 3.5gm protein 0.1 gms fat 51 calories and it tastes great! I eat at least 2 a day .
