Hold on, yogurt isn't spoiled milk?
Yep, you read that right! While they both start with milk, yogurt is the result of a controlled, good kind of fermentation. We add specific bacteria (like Lactobacillus) to milk, and these guys munch on the lactose sugar, turning it into lactic acid. This acid thickens the milk and gives yogurt its tangy taste
Spoiled milk, on the other hand, happens when unwanted bacteria take over. These can cause weird smells, textures, and even make you sick .
So next time you grab a yogurt, remember it's a delicious feat of science, not a gone-off accident!
