Yogurt is a good source of important nutrients, such as calcium.

Calcium is a must for healthy bones and teeth, yet many Americans fall short of the daily recommended amount. One cup of plain low-fat yogurt provides 400 milligrams of calcium – about 40 percent of the recommended intake for most adults.

Research also shows that yogurts with live and active cultures help break down lactose, the natural sugar in milk. Breaking down lactose makes yogurt more digestible for people with lactose intolerance.

Emerging studies are looking at the potential of yogurt's live and active cultures to relieve other digestive troubles and promote intestinal health.

Look for the National Yogurt Association official seal on yogurt products – including all Yoplait yogurt products.

At 100 or 110 calories per serving, Yoplait Light delivers portion control – and it's fat free.

Researchers found that adults who ate three servings of Yoplait Light as part of a reduced-calorie diet lost weight, and where it really counts – around the middle.
