I just got an original formula Yoplait strawberry yogurt from the refrigerator,
and the ingredients list reads:

	Cultured pasteurized grade A milk, sugar, strawberries,
	nonfat milk solids, natural flavors.

Notice that it contains no thickeners.  It gets its texture from fermentation.
Custard Style Yoplait has some kind of thickener in it, and has an off taste
and a slightly grainy texture.  I'm not sure whether the thickener is
cornstarch.

I find that the yogurts containing thickeners (cornstarch, gelatin, or pectin)
don't have the good, sharp flavor I like.  Yogurts without thickeners must be
fermented longer, so they end up containing more lactic acid than those which
are artificially thickened.
