  2. This is really making me consider putting yogurt into my diet more... Can you discuss the health side/aspects of yogurt? Also, I'm happy to say that I've started the yogurt-making process and can't wait to try the results!!

    1. One of the biggest benefits of yogurt is that it is a source of healthy bacteria. These are important for our immune system and GI health.
