Yogurt "contains more sugar than soft drinks
Yogurt candy contains most types of sugar, an average of 16.4 grams of sugar per 100 grams
British researchers have found that yogurt products are more sugar-rich than those in soft drinks, so consumers should realize they do not eat healthy products.
The results came after a study of about 900 types of yoghurt sold in supermarkets in Britain.
Organic yogurt was one of the most sugar-containing foods, according to research conducted by the University of Leeds.

It was not surprising that yoghurt sweets contain most types of sugar, at a rate of 16.4 grams of sugar per 100 grams.
This category also includes some products that do not contain yogurt, such as chocolate shakes and cream caramel.
Organic yoghurt was the second most sweetened product with sugars at a rate of 13.1 g sugar per 100 g.
The study found that the yogurt of children usually contains 10.8 grams of sugar per 100 grams, equivalent to more than two cubic sugar.
In comparison, 100 g of cola contains only 9 grams of sugar.
The National Health Service in England recommends that children between the ages of 4 and 6 should not eat more than 19 grams of sugar per day, or just 5 sugar cubes.
Those aged between 7 and 10 should eat less than 24 grams daily.
To be low in yogurt, experts recommend not more than 5 grams of sugar per 100 grams of yogurt.
The research found that only 9 percent of yogurt products adhere to this limit.
The researchers confirmed that since the beginning of the field survey of products, the end of 2016, there has been progress in reducing sugar consumption of yogurt.
A report in May showed that the sugar content of yoghurt had fallen by 6 percent in the first year, making it the only food category to exceed the target of 5 percent. By 2020, sugar is expected to fall by 20 percent.
Dr Alison Tedston, head of nutrition experts at PHE, said the action "shows positive steps."
But Dr Bernadette Moore, the lead author of the study, said: "Even if we take this into account, most yoghurt will still have a high sugar content."
"I think sugar in yogurt will be a surprise for everyone, including parents."
