Yogurt is one of the best foods ever invented by humans. Like pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi<\/em> and tempeh<\/em>, yogurt is super healthy for being one of the best sources for probiotics. Probiotics are live microorganisms that are beneficial to the human body\u2014they give you a healthy digestive tract, strong immune system and much more! This is the very reason why health-conscious individuals always have yogurt in their grocery list every week, at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can easily avail yourself of a cup of yogurt from a nearby store, like most people do.   But you may opt for homemade ones rather than store-bought. And this second option is highly recommended. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no denying that yogurt is super healthy. But as companies move forward, they tend to make sure the consumers have the undying support to their brand. They may make some tweaks to their formulations to appeal to a larger audience. Like for example, some yogurt brands may have more amount of sugar added to adjust the sweetness. Naturally occurring sugar like lactose in milk is okay. But added sugar during processing to adjust the flavor might just be bad for some, especially those at risk of developing diabetes or even cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artificial coloring is also an issue with commercial yogurt.  Plain yogurt can be boring. So manufacturers add artificial color to better the appearance. But that is just all, nothing else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would be better if they use natural colors, but artificial ones just make food more vibrant. As much as possible, you must avoid using artificial coloring as they generally are unhealthy\u2014they usually cause allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, yogurt should only consist of milk and active live culture and they are what you\u2019ll only need to make homemade yogurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
