Anyone a fan of Activia or any other Dannon yogurt?


I don't think I have ever tried this specific brand of yogurt.

I tried Activia once and it was way too sweet for me (and I usually don't mind sweet things).

One of my friends in the medical/dietary field (I forget what she does, exactly) once said that the whole Activia thing was a big scam, as artificial sweeteners can cause your digestive system to act up and eating Activia just continues the cycle. Yes, the probiotics in it can help you, but the sweeteners just about negate their effects.

I eat Stonyfield organic yogurt for lunch. I usually don't go crazy over organic stuff, but it tastes pretty good and is dirt cheap, so it works for me.

I love Stonyfield yogurt. But I often will get yogurt from a local farm over Stonyfield, at least when I can afford it. But otherwise, I go for Stonyfield as my standard.
