Yogurt is eaten all over the world. The partial digestion
of the milk caused by the fermentation of the
starter culture makes yogurt easily digested, even
by people who cannot tolerate milk. When used in
baking, yogurt produces a tender product. Yogurt
is a rich source of protein and calcium, and the fermentation
process makes these nutrients easier to
absorb. Ongoing studies are revealing many health
benefits to this great food, such as boosting immunity
and reducing yeast infections and colon cancer.
