    Most yoghurts of different brands have thickeners. There are many kinds of thickeners, including modified starch, pectin, xanthan gum, and edible gelatin. They cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body. They are insoluble dietary fibers. The poison is harmless, does not cause "blood viscosity", and also helps to delay the rise of blood sugar and blood lipids after a meal. It is a beneficial ingredient for preventing chronic diseases. The safety of thickeners is generally very high, so there are no restrictions on the amount of thickeners used in many foods, and the amount used in yogurt also meets the "Food Additive Use Standards."
