Greek yogurt is a thick, creamy yogurt that can add flavor and texture
to foods. But, it may also have other benefits, such as boosting bone
health, building muscle mass, and lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes
and high blood pressure. Greek yogurt differs from other yogurts
because it goes through a straining process to remove the whey. Whey
is a liquid that contains lactose, a natural sugar found in milk.
Making yogurt involves fermenting milk with live cultures of
beneficial bacteria. Strained Greek yogurt is lower in sugar than
regular yogurt.
