The answer to this issue is not to try another brand. The shop at my office only carries this brand. At the house Mrs. Fan only buys Activia. What's my issue? A few days a week at work I try to eat as healthy as possible. On those days I get hard boiled egg whites and yogurt. Lots of protein, not a lot of calories. While I was eating my delicious Dannon blueberry yogurt I spun it around to check the ingredients. Ingredient 1 is cultured grade A low fat milk. 2 is blueberries. So far so good. 3 is sugar. 4 is fructose syrup. 5 is high fructose corn syrup. 6 is fructose. Wtf? To me that's four ways of adding something you don't even need to add. 9 percent of the sugar I need all day comes from this. Come on, Dannon, people are eating yogurt instead of a candy bar. Don't blend a candy bar and put it in my yogurt. They prolly make a no sugar added - but they don't sell it here.

This is something that Weight Watchers pulls with their products. They make these yummy little Peanut Butter Bliss bars - kind of like a mini candy bar. It has only 1 WW point, compared to a normal fullsize candybar which has about 5-6. BUT, one of the ingredients is palm oil, which is about the worst oil around. I can't figure out why they don't use something healthier...esp when all their materials recommend you eat all healthy oils. Now, I'm going to have to go look at the WW yogurt container! I've recently become a Stonyfield organic convert after meeting a member of their board. It's the best-tasting yogurt I've ever found. I guess I should look at their ingredients too.
My wife pushes the Stonyfield on me too because the don't use fructose - but it's not a sweeeeeeetttttt!
You guys are funny!
Despite the fact that I love cottage cheese, I cannot tolerate yogurt. I have tried and tried, plain, every flavor possible. One taste and I am through. Now that all this fakery is being revealed about the sugar content I'm through trying it. Well, actually after 20 years of trying I was through before this.
But I really had to laugh at Sis' comment "best-tasting yogurt." To me, that's the equivalent of "cleanest sewer I've ever seen."
I have a confession to make. I, too, was never impressed with yogurt. There are ONLY TWO flavors I can tolerate - lemon and key lime. Something about the citrus flavors must work for me...all other flavors have a weird after-taste to me. I can use other flavors in recipes, but not as standalones. And don't even ask me to mix any fruit or granola into my yogurt...that's just gross.
And oh yeah...some brands of key lime (Breyers and Weight Watchers) are a really yucky-lookin slimy green color. The Stonyfield must not have any artificial colors added.
