PLAIN yogurt with no fruit, sugar, or sweetener added has a pH of around 4. So it is a little acidic BUT the way it processes in your body, because of the live cultures, it changes pH during digestion (ONLY PLAIN YOGURT) - kind of like lemon or RAW apple cider vinegar. I always add fresh lemon juice to anything questionable - water, white/green tea, yogurt. Lemon is a fruit you can combine with all other foods. Don't forget you should eat alkaline fruit by itself, with nothing else (other than other fruits) b/c acidity increases if you mix fruit w/ carbs, fats, and even alkaline vegetables during digestion.
The yogurt component is acidic.
Yogurt is slightly alkaline as it smooths the mouth when people have had an spicy dish which is mainly acid. Aicd + Alkaline(base) -> Neutral

Plain unflavored yogurt is mildly acidic.
Lactic acid
Plain unflavored yogurt is mildly acidic.
Yogurt is ACIDIC Because it contains: LACTIC ACID produced by MILK BACTERIA.. :)
Yogurt is among the lowest purine containing foods and there fore the least likely to increase uric acid.
Yogurt tastes sour because of the fermentation process that occurs when bacteria in the yogurt culture feed on the sugars in the milk, producing lactic acid as a byproduct. This lactic acid gives yogurt its tangy and sour flavor.
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
yogurt is actually more netrual more than anything else.It is more neutral than any thing else because of its high a main ingredient milk which is neutral.The yogurt also contains sugar and maybe fruit which are acidic but the milk neutrilises it all and balances it .
Yes in the food industry typically yogurts contain citirc acid. It is used as a preservative and gives the yogurt its tangy flavor for whatever fruit flavor it is supposed to be.
