However, this benefit is tempered by concern that fructose may have an adverse effect on plasma lipid and uric acid levels, and the resulting higher blood levels of frutose can be damaging to proteins.
All fructose must be metabolized in the liver. The livers of the rats on high fructose diet looked like the livers of alcoholics, plugged with fat and cirrhotic.

Maybe a little won't hurt Layla, but personally, I wouldn't eat it or even give it to my dogs.
So, do you give your dogs 'any' yogurt? If so, which type?
