Is processed yogurt good for you?

Yogurt (or curd) is essential in nearly all regions of India. And nearly everybody likes it. But are the yogurt-coated cereals and processed foods really good for you? Real low-fat yogurt is very healthy, says dietitian Elisa Zied, author of So What Can I Eat? These products are often made with dried nonfat yogurt, which doesn’t always have calcium or any of the other key nutrients in yogurt. But real curd is good as we all know it. Make or choose low- or non-fat varieties. Best to have it with little or no sugar. Home-made, low-fat curd is more healthful than the flavoured ones.
