Nutritional Yoplait Vanilla Yogurt

Made from milk, yogurt is curdled by adding a Lactobacillus acidophilus culture, or other "friendly" bacteria essential for healthy digestion as well as for the prevention of several intestinal disorders. While Yoplait yogurt provides nutritional value, the amount of sugar in a single serving is considered high. Added sugars provide calories, but little to no nutritional value.
