Artists and interior designers feel that colours are influential communication tools and can be used to cause physiological reactions. As a matter of fact, our feeling about any colour is deeply personal and rooted in our own experience or culture. For example, while the colour white is used in many countries to represent purity and virtue, it is seen as a symbol of grief in some countries.

What Is Yogurt and How Is It Made?

Yogurt is a popular dairy product that's made by the bacterial fermentation of milk.

The bacteria used to make yogurt are called "yogurt cultures," which ferment lactose, the natural sugar found in milk.

This process produces lactic acid, a substance that causes milk proteins to curdle, giving yogurt its unique flavor and texture.
