[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Except that PP is correct. Let’s take yogurt, for example. Out of 50+ options in the case, which one has a reasonable amount of sugar?

Plain. That’s it. And at my Giant, at least, there are maybe 4 options to choose from, only one or two of which are not fat free, which is vile and come with other things you don’t want to consume.[/quote]

For people who are a healthy weight and eating an overall balanced diet, why is a yogurt with, say, 3 to 5 grams of sugar "unreasonable"?  Are there new dietary guidelines that state the only amount of added sugar that is acceptable is zero?   I usually have maybe 10-15 grams/day at the most, but there is room in my diet for a vanilla Icelandic Skyr with four ingredients and 3 grams of added sugar.  I wish there were more low sugar options, but they do exist. [/quote]

Every grocery store offers plain yogurt.  Flavored yogurt has added sugar, hence the flavor.  If you want plain yogurt with fruit, then put your own fruit in it.  It isn’t complicated or tricky.  I eat a flavored Chobani or icelandic daily.  They have 8-10gm sugar.  It is a snack that hits the sweet spot.  I think this is a reasonable amount of sugar and totally fine with it.  But then again, I don’t eat store bought cookies, cake, ice cream, etc.  ever.  Only homemade on rare occasion.  [/quote]
