Talk:Frozen yogurt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The reference to fructose (vs. sugar) being of interest to diabetics is incorrect, out of date and should be removed. Research done by the ADA, presented in June 2007, showed that fructose consumption significantly elevates plasma lipids such as triglicerides and LDL cholesterol. The ADA recommends AGAINST the ingestion of added fructose by diabetics. Foods where fructose naturally occurs in small amounts (i.e., fresh fruit and vegetables) is allowable, as long as it is only 3-4% of the energy intake from these foods. Frozen yoghurt sweetened with fructose would not qualify as a recommended food for diabetics. This reference to fructose for diabetics is dangerous and irresponsible.
If the freezing point of yogurt is higher than that of milk why does frozen yogurt both freeze and melt slower than regular ice cream. Wouldn't it freeze faster and melt slower? that frozen yogurt is somehow more healthful than ice cream. Katr67 22:30, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Frozen yogurt became popular in the 1980's.
The part about it being popular at the university seems to me to be of little interest to anyone not from that area. Bigger problem it is written in a supremely anecdotal and informal style. Case in point: "students flock daily to receive their delicious frozen sustenance." I mean, come on. Slightly over the top for an encyclopedia article don't ya think? I actually don't mind the style so much as think it doesn't belong here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.102.196.38 (talk) 09:50, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
The "Frogurt references in popular culture" is totally pointless. Such trivia are also discouraged by Wikipedia... I think it should simply be removed. 198.103.223.52 21:59, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Benefits of frozen yogurt
This is a note regarding a recent string of edits: [1], [2], [3], [4], and [5].
I feel strongly that the proposed additions to this article push a strong viewpoint that frozen yogurt is an extremely healthful food when this is not an overwhelmingly-accepted position. Additionally, the edits have only one new source which does not attempt to assert that frozen yogurt is healthy nearly as strongly. Besides, this source also contains quotes from scientists who discount many of the claims:
- "I would not agree with those studies," says Margo Denke, M.D., who does research on nutrition and cardiovascular disease and serves on the AHA nutrition committee.
- "There have been some interesting leads, but nothing has crystallized out of it," says Anthony Hitchins, an FDA microbiologist who formerly conducted and reviewed yogurt research at USDA's Human Nutrition Research Center.
- etc
Other phrases such as "refreshing, tangy", "that everyone liked and recommended", "which are necessary", "Numerous health benefits beyond its nutritional value", and "can help to rebalance" are also unencyclopedic/sound like a sales pitch.

[edit] froyo
Froyo is not a recognised alternative name for frozen yoghurt, it is as the link clearly showed, nothing more than one example of a manufacturing machine. --Brideshead (talk) 15:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
