The Case Against Milk
By Sheila Buff

..."Yogurt is just as problematic. Eight ounces of plain, whole-milk yogurt contain almost 11 grams of carbohydrate..."

Wow...this angered me - SHE FORGOT TO SUBTRACT THE CARBS DUE TO GOOD BACTERIA, and say that yogurt is a wonderful healthy food for all atkinsers to consume (in moderation of course)/has lots of calcium and should not be avoided.

I have written their website to inform them about incubation and lactose eating bacteria and how wrong they are. MY own homemade yogurt is made and incubated SO long - it's full fat/made from goat milk/I assume almost NO carbs left in final product. It's so sour, even lemons seem sweet in comparison! And the organic goatmilk yogurt I buy only has 10 carbs per serving/minus 6-8 carb loss of sugar carbs due to incubation you have approx 3-4 carbs per cup!
