It's definitely not a Scandinavian thing not to sweeten yoghurt, since it's common in Sweden.
That is, it's trivial to find non-sweetened yoghurt, but all the flavored varieties (of which there are many) are sweetened, often rather much.
A recent introduction by dairy giant Arla is http://www.arla.se/produkter/arla-ko/mild-yoghurt-vanilj-lattsockrad-1000g-457846/ http://www.arla.se/produkter/arla-ko/mild-yoghurt-vanilj-lat... (page in Swedish), which is specifically sold as containing "less sugar"; it still lands at 6.3% sugar (2.5% of which was added, the rest is natural from the milk I assume).
- Evgeny 10y agoThe Greek style yoghurt only has 3.6% sugar and yes, there probably is a lower limit on sugar in yougurt as lactose is a natural component of milk and classifies as sugar. http://www.arla.se/produkter/arla-ko/mild-yoghurt-grekisk-1000g-458665/ http://www.arla.se/produkter/arla-ko/mild-yoghurt-grekisk-10...
- wodenokoto 10y agoSkimmed milk has 4,7 grams of sugar per 100 gram of milk, so that is the baseline. That does sound like a lot, but I think it is unfair to start classifying milk together with soda.
- wodenokoto 10y agoThat's true. I guess I was being a little naive here. I can see that many flavored yogurts have around 5% added sugar. But I understood from the article that even plain yogurt has added sugar, and I've noticed in some countries I've traveled to that plain yogurt is very sweet. But even at 5% added sugar, I think it is unfair to compare it to ice cream.
