Is frozen yogurt healthy to eat?
On One Hand: Healthy Frozen YogurtAll forms of yogurt are typically an excellent source of healthy calcium, protein and B vitamins, according to the Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Conn. Depending on the amount of probiotic bacteria used to produce the yogurt, some frozen yogurts can also help provide intestinal health, reduce infections and relieve diarrhea.On the Other: Less Healthy YogurtThe Center for Science in the Public Interest cautions that today’s grocery store yogurts and frozen yogurts can be loaded with sugar and fat, almost as much as candy. Some can have more unhealthy ingredients than healthy nutrients and bacterias. In addition, the healthy probiotics decrease as yogurt gets closer to its expiration date.Bottom LineThe Center for Science in the Public Interest encourages consumers to choose low-fat, low-sugar options of yogurt and frozen yogurt for maximum health benefits.
