is homemade yogurt better than yogurt from the store?

I've seen a lot of discussion of how much money you can save making your own yogurt with an instant pot. But is it any healthier?

I think it depends on the yogurt. Any yogurt that is flavored is already full of sugars or chemicals or both. Check the ingredients. If they consist of milk and bacterial culture, then it's likely just what you want and is likely exactly the ingredients you'd use to make it at home. If it has lots of other htings in it, then you're better off making it yourself.

I think it must be healthier for you. It's a matter of if you like it and if the benefit is worth the effort I guess

I think that it probably depends on which product you purchase. If you look at the ingredients, you'll know. The stuff you make yourself is definitely fresher.
