Yogurt is made by fermenting milk wth a yogurt culture.
Health benefits can include promoting bone health and aiding digestion.
Some yogurts contain active, living bacteria known as probiotics, which can help keep the intestines healthy.
Yogurt products that go through heat treatment have no active bacteria, reducing the health benefits. Yogurt-covered raisins are an example.
Yogurts contain calcium, vitamins B6 and B12, riboflavin, potassium, and magnesium. The amounts depend on the type.
