Yogurt's Healthy Image Is Misleading
- Most commercial yogurts are marketed as healthy but are often loaded with sugars and additives that harm the gut.
- This marketing shift turned a once-healing fermented food into a metabolic trap for many consumers.
Sugars And Additives Feed Bad Gut Bugs
- Flavored and low-fat yogurts frequently contain 18–21g added sugar and artificial sweeteners that feed pathogenic gut bacteria.
- These ingredients promote bloating, inflammation, and insulin spikes that undermine metabolic health.
Processed Yogurt Can Cause Leaky Gut
- An imbalanced gut from sugary, processed yogurts increases intestinal permeability and systemic inflammation.
- That inflammation often appears as brain fog, bloating, skin issues, and stubborn belly fat.
