Best Yogurts — Live Cultures, Minimal Sugar

Real yogurt is milk plus live bacterial cultures — that is it. Mass-market cups stack 15 to 25 grams of added sugar, gelatin or modified corn starch as thickeners, and 'fruit' that is mostly glucose-fructose syrup. The top-scoring yogurts here stay close to the fermented-milk original.

What to look for

Live and active cultures listed (L. acidophilus, S. thermophilus, Bifidus)
At most 6 to 8g added sugar per serving
Whole milk when possible — not non-fat with added thickeners
No modified food starch, gelatin, or carrageenan as texture fillers
Plain is the cleanest choice — fruit-on-the-bottom is usually fruit-syrup-on-the-bottom
