Content: Overall, yogurt is rich in protein, phosphorus, calcium and B vitamins. 6. Yogurt Can Promote a Healthy Weight
Those who eat more than three servings of yogurt per week appear to be better able to manage their weight, according to Tufts University, though there are many variables that may contribute to this finding. One May 2014 review in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition observed that people who ate more yogurt gained less weight over time and generally had smaller increases in their waist circumference. Still, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of yogurt on weight. One Disadvantage of Yogurt
Not all is perfect in yogurt land. Because of the wide array of yogurt options, it's important to read the product labels carefully, as too much added sugar can outweigh the food's benefits. Some yogurts contain upwards of 25 grams of added sugar per serving, according to the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Added sugar contributes to calorie intake without adding essential nutrients, per the USDA's Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Yogurt marked specifically for children or toddlers often contains more added sugars.
