Yogurt
Yogurt is a thick, tangy dairy product made by fermenting milk with live cultures. It is a good source of calcium, which is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and it provides protein. Eat it plain or with fruit and honey, spoon it over granola, swirl it into sauces and marinades, or use it to add tang and moisture to baking.
Polyols
SorbitolNot a source
Source: Measured value (BLS 4.0)
What this means
This is yogurt's own sorbitol content, not a recipe amount. Sorbitol is a polyol — a type of sugar alcohol — calculated from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.20 g threshold (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.
Sugars
Total fructoseNot a source
Excess fructoseNot a source
Source: Measured value (BLS 4.0)
What this means
These are yogurt's own fructose figures, not a recipe amount. Total fructose is how much fructose the food contains. Excess fructose is fructose minus glucose, counted only when positive, since glucose helps the body absorb fructose — it is the figure behind the "Low fructose" filter and the recipe figures. When measured, both come from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.40 g threshold of excess fructose (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.
