### In the lessons

In science lessons, yoghurt shows that not all bacteria are harmful; «good» bacteria change milk into yoghurt. In health lessons it is a dairy food with calcium for strong bones and teeth. Everyday: yoghurt for breakfast, in lunchboxes, with fruit, frozen yoghurt. Safety: keep it in the fridge and check the use-by date. Phrases: «a pot of yoghurt», «Greek yoghurt», «natural yoghurt», «frozen yoghurt».
