What is Cultured Nonfat Yogurt?

Cultured nonfat yogurt is made by adding live bacterial cultures, typically *Lactobacillus bulgaricus* and *Streptococcus thermophilus*, to skim milk. These bacteria ferment the milk's natural sugars (lactose) into lactic acid, which thickens the yogurt and gives it a tangy flavor. The process is similar to making regular yogurt, but uses skim milk instead of milk with fat.
