Wink The Yogurt Debate - once and for all?

Okay... the whole yogurt thing has me terribly confused... I read the following article at www.lowcarbluxury.com

The Yogurt Exception

Most people on our site when suggesting yogurt always point you toward whole milk yogurt w/ active cultures. The above article says any fermented milk product (low fat, fat free) has 4g per cup... and additionally, eating it daily will increase the flora in your body to make you even more efficient in digesting whatever carbs do remain...(???)

So, I'm still in a conundrum about this so-called "exception" - because I bought the product they are praising, Blue Bunny Lite 85 Yogurt sweetened with Splenda. Please read this review: Blue Bunny Yogurt Review

I bought some despite the fact that I don't really buy the testers premise that "you can put yourself into a really deep ketosis" (well, I can, but it usually means I'm not drinking enough water...) and that is how they verified it only has the 4g per container (each tester ate 3 containers and remained in full, deep ketosis)

I ran it through the hidden carbs inspector... which declared this product at 14.14; the label reads 14. I suppose that the carb inspector isn't designed to calculate fermented dairy products...

The yogurt is delish, and I've remained in pale ketosis (if I can be bothered to check) but I find it hard to believe that this particular yogurt has only 4g of carbs per cup because it has "modified food starch" listed as an ingredient (twice; once in the flavoring and again as the next to last ingredient). I contacted the company, but guess what? No response as of a week later. (note to self: always take your glasses to the market so you can read the fine print )

Anyone want to take a stab at it? Should I just treat the "Bunny" as a YMMV thing? What is the real truth about unadulterated yogurt?? This is the one LC thing that makes my eyes cross....

(and yep, I ran it through the search engine...lots of journal entries and a few info threads, but I'm still lost...
