Have you ever picked up a yogurt labeled “healthy” only to realize later it’s packed with hidden sugars, gums, or artificial flavorings? That confusion is no accident. Many brands rely on buzzwords like “natural,” “fruit on the bottom,” and “low-fat” to distract from what’s actually inside. According to nutrition researchers, these phrases often signal the opposite of health: “natural flavor” can legally include synthetic additives, and “fruit on the bottom” is typically code for sugar syrup with artificial fruit flavor (Monash University, Business Insider).

Even the “low-fat” label isn’t always a win. When fat is removed from yogurt, it’s usually replaced with added sugars, modified starches, or thickeners to mimic creaminess. These swaps can make the product more processed, not less. In fact, experts recommend watching for ingredients like carrageenan, guar gum, and artificial sweetener add-ins that can disrupt digestion and don’t offer much nutritional value (Health.com, Feed Them Wisely).

At Orontes, we believe in flipping the label and telling the truth. Our ingredient list is short and honest: A2A2 milk (which lacks the A1 protein many find hard to digest), real fruit with no artificial dyes or flavors, live probiotic cultures to support your gut, and lactase to make it fully lactose-free. No fillers, no tricks. Just a clean, nourishing yogurt that earns your trust from the very first spoonful.
