Eat your dairy - yet another reason.

March 13, 2009
The American Heart Association released a report this week showing that low vitamin D levels are associated with several risk factors in teenagers.

Study highlights:

+ Low levels of vitamin D were associated with increased risk of high blood pressure, high blood sugar and metabolic syndrome in teenagers.
+ The highest levels of vitamin D were found in whites, the lowest levels in blacks and intermediate levels in Mexican-Americans.

I have been an admirer and consumer of Cabot Greek Style Yogurt ever since I discovered it at the PUBLIX dairy department. It is the only kind of yogurtI would accept, and a favorite for a midnight snack.

The last time I purchased two containers I must have been in a hurry, and unaware that PUBLIX had begun stocking other than the usual plain kind of Greek Yogurt. When I got home I found I had bought a Low Fat Vanilla flavored version by mistake.

Toight I decided to try it. I can only say it is disgusting. Watery instead of thick, and a stomach- turning sweetish taste instead of the unique flavor of the plain Greek style. I could not wait until morning to Google you and let you know it is inedible.

I'm so sorry that you had a bad experience. I'll pass it on to customer service.

I tried Cabot cheese for the first time this month and it is by far the BEST I've ever eaten!and I eat alot of cheese.Keep up the good work.
