Surely? I eat the Dannon light and fit yogurt (south beach friendly). I need to look into which Yoplait is a match for the Dannon light and fit. I wonder if other major brands will follow suit.

The hormones from non organic dairy gave me headaches, mood swings and depression. Two weeks off of regular dairy and I could tell the difference. It has been 4 years now.

I want to say good for Yoplait, but come on, it took them long enough. And their product is still FULL of sugar. I would never recommend it. Finally, I want to shout-out the SF Bay PSR chapter of Health Care Without Harm (which I used to be a part of when I lived in SF). They are committed to food reform in health care settings and did a large piece of advocacy work around anti-RGBH in yogurts. Civil Eats is one of my favorite blogs, btw. <a href="http://www.bodaweightloss.com" rel="nofollow"> BODA weight loss</a> Thanks for the brief expose on Montsano, those devils.
