Why The Yogurt Makers Make Homemade Yogurt?

Why did I start a blog on Yogurt you may ask. Well, it’s a bit of a long story, but in a nutshell. Yogurt has one of the highest amounts of calcium per calorie. Yogurt contains valuable pro-biotic sources, like Acidophilus. Yogurt is high in protein. If you use fortified milk with vitamin D, then that ends up in the yogurt as well. Yogurt mixes with just about anything. If you are lactose intolerant, then yogurt has it’s lactose converted to lactic acid, so you can eat it – or drink it. Yogurt makes great smoothies.
Well, I think you get the idea, and in this blog I’ll be covering these subjects along with why that is so good for you, oh and recipes as well, and what to look for in a yogurt maker, and where to get them.
But the reason for my looking into yogurt was an article I read by Dr. Joel Wallach from “Dead Doctors Don’t Lie” where he claims high blood pressure is a symptom of calcium deficiency. So that, along with being told I had bone loss – another symptom of calcium deficiency – I looked for what things contained the most calcium – and yogurt was at the top of the list.
