Did you know that 1 out of every 10 Americans is Lactose intolerant? Lactose intolerant is not an allergy to milk; instead, it results from the body not being able to produce enough lactase (“an enzyme that breaks lactose down into simpler sugars called glucose and galactose” Source), which helps sustain your bodies energy.

Because so many American’s suffer from Lactose intolerance, Yoplait has come up with a solution for people who are living with this disorder who want to eat yogurt. Yoplait’s newest brand is called “Yoplait Lactose Free.” It is just as creamy, fruity, and delicious as their other brands of yogurt without being harmful for those who disagree with dairy products.

Eating yogurt is also a great way to help get your daily calcium intake. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: “Calcium and vitamin D are essential nutrients for building strong bones. In fact, building bone mass is critical in adolescent years and important throughout life. Unfortunately, about 50% of children 2 years and older are not meeting the recommended amount of calcium and 90% are not meeting vitamin D recommendations” Source.
