Ha!!! My grandmother used to make yogurt in the ‘60’s...no sugar. We loved it. Nowadays, the yogurt on the market is just awful, so full of sugar.

“Regular” Dannon yogurt is nothing more than sugar filled swill these days.

Greek yogurt from Dannon or generic is much much better.

Always follow the rule: for every 10 calories you should have at LEAST 1 g of protein.

Some of the generic bran greek yogurt is sooooo much better than regular yogurt

That Dannon ad was part of one of the greatest advertising campaigns of all time. Up until that time (mid 1970s), yogurt was a niche product, only consumed by health nuts and hippy-dippy flower people (who would swirl granola into it).

Within a few years of that campaign, yogurt became a staple item in the dairy section and began occupying over triple the shelf space it did before.

The biggest issue with yogurt today (and Dannon is a big part of that problem) is that in their quest to pitch yogurt as a "heart healthy" low-fat product, they added an incredible amount of sugar. To the point where most supermarket yogurts are no healthier than an ice cream sundae. To get healthy yogurts, you have to look for a high fat content (whole cream) and no added sugar. The cream layer on top (or mixed in) are the best with the probiotics (live cultures). Stay away from all "fruit on bottom" yogurts. I like to add into my yogurt fresh blueberries, blackberries or strawberries. You can buy the frozen kind too if you are concerned about the berries going bad.
