Anne Rutherford, I was taught that yogurt (U.S. spelling) is sour tasting because it lacks lactose which is a natural sugar in milk. I was told to sprinkle the Yogourt (CA spell) with powdered milk for lactose sweetening. That gives it a better (not bitter) taste. It worked for me. As to it's bacterial properties, I defer to others in the PIEN.
