Why does yogurt have to be sweet?

Many plain yogurts will work for you. The sugar content in many of these is solely from the milk itself. Fruit-juice sweetening is also pretty common here in the US. When I'm abroad, I usually find myself having more plain yogurt mixed with fresh fruit (especially in the tropics). Usually I find that the fruit added gives me plenty of sweetness. If you're in the Midwest, the BlueBunny line of "superfruit" yogurts don't have added sugar, and are low on sugar count. If you want to avoid all Splenda/fruitjuice added varieties, plain is probably the way to go. Depending on what fruit's in season, I will mix in some fresh banana, papaya, and avocado to a plain. A good mango in a plain yogurt can be quite tasty.
In many places yogurt is served without sweetness. You might consider a recipe for a plain yogurt-based lasse (Indian yogurt drink). You might also check the Stonyfield or Trader Joe (here I am mixing in another thread) Greek-style yogurts.
