Why Greek yogurt is bad?
1. Because Greek yogurt can be made with bones and bugs. As with many yogurts, some Greek varieties add gelatin, which is made by boiling animals’ skin, tendons, ligaments, or bones. Many also add carmine to make the yogurt appear to contain more fruit than it does.
Why does Greek yogurt taste like sour cream?
Even though both products have a sour taste, they are of slightly different origin.

How does Greek yogurt help you lose weight?

Why is plain yogurt so nasty?
Plain and simple, yogurt is the result of bacterial fermentation of milk. All you need is pasteurized milk and bacteria. If the yogurt smells sour, it is probably no good. If the yogurt appears to be curdling at the bottom, it is going bad, and when the live bacterial cultures in yogurt die off, mold will form.
