I never thought of that - although we just add the honey right when we eat it, so I don't think it would have time to do very much damage. Maybe maple syrup if it needs to be sweetened in advance? :) Katie Tanja,

I usually eat it with fruit and oats for breakfast. Two of my girlfriends also make their own. One researched it a little deeper and discovered that home made yogurt, when allowed to sit the 24 hours produced something like 30 billion probiotics per millilitre! as opposed to a few hundred in the store bought stuff (which apparently begin to die off with in days). After discovering this, my other girlfriend brought up the question - when sweetened with honey, the only way her kids currently eat it, are the probiotics killed off by the antibacterial nature of honey?

ONLY Whole Milk. It's not nearly so sour. Cinnamon and vanilla help too, and of course applesause or peachsauce is great too but only whole milk yogurt has that not-overly-sour taste. I personally need no sweetener to eat it. I like sweet stuff, don't get me wrong. :) No one mentioned that the ability to eat plain yogurt lies in the fact it is FULL FAT yogurt — no skim or 2% yogurt. ONLY Whole Milk.

They especially love Banana Shakes, which I make by tossing some frozen bananas, yogurt and orange juice in the blender. Another great thing to do is make a half and half blend of yogurt and orange juice to drink. It's almost like an orange julius. I like to feed my kids plain yogurt in smoothies.

The real problem is it's massively high in fructose. Low-carbers have been saying for years that fructose causes a lot of health problems even though it's low on the glycemic index and what do you know, the scientists are finally admitting it (or, the media is finally acknowledging them). The tiny amounts of fructose you get in fruit, even modern hybrid fruit, are OK. The concentrated fructose in things like agave and honey and sugar isn't so hot. It leads to things like fatty liver and type 2 diabetes. Hope that helps.

I love 7 Stars plain as it's so not tart, but I still used to add a T. of maple syrup to every bowl-full.
