Any yogurt bought in the supermarket is dead, there are not live bacteria left due to FDA regulations. If there were live cultures, you could reculture and make more yogurt. Real yogurt has the consistency of buttermilk, which is a drink. The food industry has added sugar and fillers, thickeners, which your body converts to sugar.
Only the best and true yogurt is one that you make yourself, with cultures....it is very easy. I get mine from New England Cheesemaking. One packet will make endless yogurt, using a small amount of finished yogurt to culture the next batch. And yes, heat will destroy cultures, temperature is very important.
