The Take

Kefir or Fage 5% Greek Yogurt is healthy because it sticks to milk and cultures with nothing else added. The 5 percent milkfat version keeps the cream that skim versions strip out for fake health points.

Live active cultures actually do the fermenting work instead of dying in processing. Pasteurized only keeps it shelf-stable, but the core recipe stays pre-industrial.

The Verdict

This is the rare dairy product that earns the ancestors' nod instead of the marketing department's. Pair it with raw milk kefir when you can for the extra edge.

Buy the 5% Fage or plain kefir and skip everything with added sugar or fruit.
