Yogurt did an excellent job of keeping candida under control during the last year before I discovered that mercury was the cause of my myriad of health issues. In fact, it was the only thing that worked in the end (other things did in the previous few years).

The only downside is that studies have shown that milk prevents mercury from leaving the body. It makes a dramatic difference but the scientists don't yet know why. I don't know if yogurt has the same effect, but I wouldn't be surprised.
