Frozen Yogurt

+1.5

Frozen yogurt is moderately pro-inflammatory due to high added sugar content, though it provides more probiotics and less fat than ice cream.

Ingredient score breakdown

Added Sugar

+1.3

High sugar content, often 15-25g per serving, triggers insulin spikes and inflammatory responses.

Probiotics

-0.3

Live cultures provide some gut health benefits, though many are destroyed during freezing and storage.

Low Fat Content

+0.3

Lower fat than ice cream reduces one inflammatory factor, but often replaced with more sugar.

Calcium

+0.2

Good calcium content provides minimal anti-inflammatory offset against high sugar load.

Why this score

This score is ingredient-based and weighted by DII-inspired evidence. Foods with added sugar, refined starches, and heavy processing trend higher; foods with fiber, omega-3, and polyphenols trend lower.

FODMAP note

Contains lactose and often high FODMAP, though probiotic content may aid digestion, limit portions to reduce symptoms.
