I am curious about what medical condition requires the eating of yogurt...

I don't want to go into my specific details, but there are actually arguments for consuming (probiotic) yogurt in a wide variety of situations. Here are some benefits:

[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Reducing lactose intolerance.
[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Promoting regularity.
[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Reducing ulcers (from H. pylori).
[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Reducing colon cancer, a common but underemphasized life-threatening cancer.

Obviously, yogurt is also a source of protein and calcium.

There are a few other claims which I'm not sure I believe, or which I don't really care about for myself, but there is a lot of scientific research in this area.
