Which brand of yogurt is better for you and why?

I have tested three brands of yogurt Yoplait yogurt light and fit yogurt and Chobani yogurt. I'm trying to find which kind of yogurt is better or healthier for you. My hypothesis is that light and fit Yogurt is better for you due to the nutritional facts

Light and fit yogurt does have the most calories at 175 cal While Yoplait yogurt has 140 cal and Chobani yogurt as 160 cal but light and fit yogurt has 0 g of saturated fat and zero total fat while Yoplait yogurt has 2.5 g total fat into grams saturated fat and Chobani Yogurt has 3 g total fat into grams saturated fat . Light and fit yogurt has the least amount of saturated fat and total fat which means so far it's the healthiest. Light and fit yogurt has the equal amount of cholesterol as Yoplait yogurt It's 10 mg But Chobani yogurt has the lowest amount of cholesterol with 5 mg. light and fit Yogurt has the least amount of sodium it has 45 mg of sodium and Yoplait yogurt has 75 mg yogurt and Chobani yogurt and 65 mg  Sodium. Light and fit yogurt also has the lowest amount of total carbohydrates with 9 g . Yoplait yogurt has 25 g total carbohydrates and Chobani  yogurt has 19 g total carbohydrates . By these facts my hypothesis was correct and Supported that light and fit yogurt is the healthiest because it has the lowest amount of total fat, saturated fat, sodium ,carbohydrates And the overall Better nutritional facts . 

There were many different claims that stuck out in all three yogurts but the main one was that they all promised to good Tasting. On the light and fit  container it said 80 cal When really it was 80 cal per 6 oz In the whole container is actually 175 cal. One of the claims and I found misleading was that on the Yoplait yogurt it said it was a rich in calcium When really it was 5% less than the other two yogurts in calcium. All of the serving sizes listed on the food labels where realistic except for the light and fit yogurt. It said 80 cal in big bold letters But in lower case letters underneath the 80 cal it said her 6 oz . To me it was unrealistic because I don't know anybody who measures their yogurt.
