You will lose the probiotic benefit of the bacteria, because the heat from
cooking will kill them.

8. What happens if I freeze the yoghurt?
You lose some, but not all of the probiotic benefit of the bacteria,
because some of them will be killed in the freezing process.

9. What happens if I dehydrate the yoghurt?
You lose the probiotic benefit of the bacteria in it, and it would count
toward your daily consumption.

10. How long is yoghurt good for after you've fermented it?
It can last up to three weeks in the fridge, but the bacteria will remain
active in it for two weeks at most.
