Many yoghurts are full of sugar and the public should not be lulled into thinking they are eating healthy products, researchers say.
The conclusion comes after a study of almost 900 yoghurts on sale in UK supermarkets.
The Leeds University-led research found that organic yoghurts were among the most sugary types - containing more sugar per 100g than cola.
Only natural and Greek-style yoghurts could be classed as low in sugar.
The study - published in BMJ Open - comes as government health officials are encouraging manufacturers to reduce the amount of sugar consumed by the public.
Well, I already knew that they had a ton of sugar, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people didn't. So, I guess it's good that they're telling everyone .
As for Greek yoghurt, it certainly does contain less sugar than regular yoghurt - but it also contains more fat, so I don't want people going away thinking it's some kind of miracle health food!
