Why is it good for yo u? Or is it?

Unless it's sugar free yogurt, I suggest against it on your diet - too much sugar.

low fat, unsweetened yogurt is good for fat loss:
Scientists in Tennessee (that be whiskey country partners!) gave calcium, in the form of yogurt containing 1,100 mg, to 17 overweight people three times a day. The control group had just 500 mg.
The yoghurt eaters lost a cool 22 per cent more weight that the non yoghurt eaters, 61 % body fat and a tasty 81% stomach fat was gone. All in this twelve week study.

That study is way too vauge, but I do think that unsweetened yogurt (low-fat) could cause the above fat-loss if the compared subjects were eating a differentiated caloric intake.

Alright, so what about this one ? 
As dietary calcium intake increases, it acts at the cellular level to alter energy metabolism so that more food energy is burned and less is stored as fat. This is the conclusion of researchers at the University of Tennessee’s Department of Nutrition who studied the effect of dietary calcium levels in mice. The mice were genetically engineered to express a human obesity gene called “agouti” in their fat cells, making them useful models for the study of diet-induced obesity. The researchers, led by Michael B. Zemel, Ph.D., director of the University’s Nutrition Institute, found support for their conclusions in data from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), which shows an inverse relationship between calcium and dairy intakes and body fat in adults.
The researchers concluded that low calcium diets lead to increased fat storage and higher calcium diets favor increased burning of fat. Dietary calcium in the form of dairy had an even greater effect on reducing fat storage than a calcium supplement. The authors propose that calcium in fat cells “is a logical target for pharmacological and/or nutritional regulation” of
overweight and obesity.

Or even better than Yogurt, Kefir. Its like super-cultured yogurt, more lovable bacterial buddies for ya!
Commercial brands such as Lifeway usually have a Sugar/Protein ratio of about 21g/14g. Not great for dieting, but it beats the Sugar/Protein ratio of most yogurt cups, usually around 35-45g/6-9g.

I'm a big fan of the taste of Kefit, but I think a lot of people miss out by never even tasting it in their life.
************
Micro Organisms in Kefir
Saccharomyces kefir
Torula kefir
Lactobacillus caucasicus
Leuconnostoc species
Lactic streptococci
Some yeasts
Interesting Facts
Kefir dates back to the shepherds of the Caucasus mountains. They discovered that fresh milk carried in leather pouches would occasionally ferment into an effervescent beverage. Its uniqueness from all other cultured milk products is the presence of more than three species in the culturing process.
Nutritional Facts
Kefir is rich in Vitamin B12, B1, and Vitamin K. The numerous benefits of maintaining adequate B vitamin intake range from regulation of the kidneys, liver and nervous system to helping relieve skin disorders, boost energy and promote longevity.
