Some vitamins (A, D, E, K) are fat-soluble, so good luck not eating any fat and significantly increasing your risk of getting cancer. A lot of people have problems absorbing vitamin D from food on their own; helping them even more with low-fat food is wonderful /s. Also, milk from properly fed cows contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), aka Tonalin, which helps weight loss, despite being a kind of trans-fat, which we all know is dangerous /s. I am always puzzled while in the States that I can't buy anything non-low fat and barely a single brand of unsweetened yogurt even in Whole Foods; it feels like I am forced to buy only inferior food over there, guys. I then imagine your food industry extracting most of beneficial fat from milk products and selling you supplements containing those ingredients for significantly higher price...

This yougurt has varieties made with whole milk, look for the red rings: http://www.oikosyogurt.com/greek-yogurt/ http://www.oikosyogurt.com/greek-yogurt/ It's available in e.g. Wal-Marts in flyover country, and it tastes very good. Lots of sugar, of course, but also the fat. I think I recall some unsweetened yogurt, but non-fat, so it's like the descriptions I like of 1 and 2% milk: the first is water with one white crayon briefly dipped into it, the 2nd gets two crayons ^_^. But whole milk is plenty available. Hmmm, over here isn't not hard to buy stuff with "healthy" amounts of fat, but, yeah, sugar abounds. Ah, but the bacon counterrevolution is a wonderful thing ... although my favorite is Oscar Meyer, which is "sugar cured"; well, after salt, and officially ends up with 0 carbohydrates (i.e. below the reporting threshold). So not all is lost!

Most yogurt brands have unsweetened yogurt, but it's off to the side, only comes in very large sizes and is just plain yogurt. The usual cycle of Greek yogurt is that new high-end brands appear with no sugar, get popular, then introduce new flavors filled with sugar. Some of them hide it in the ingredients list by calling it "evaporated cane juice", as if you didn't know what kind of cane they were talking about.
