Vitamin D does not occur naturally in milk. If you use "fortified" milk to make yogurt, you may get some Vitamin D, but I suspect some would be filtered out when the yogurt is strained. 20 minutes in the sun gives you a full day's worth of Vitamin D, naturally.

As far as I understand, milk contains a fat soluble sterol, which when irradiated with UV light is photochemically converted into vitamin D. This is how commercial milk is fortified with vitamin D (and that is how the bone disease rickets was eliminated in the first half of the 20th C--or at least that is the case according to Wikipedia!) So. it would seem to me that irradiating milk products would be a great way to increase Vitamin D content. I do not drink milk--so I appreciate your list of yogurts with vit D. I recently wrote a letter to chobani asking about vit D supplementation.

How come there is no vitamin D in your greek oikos yogurt, and why doesn't it come in a lowfat style? It's really good and creamy, but with Vitamin D and lowfat it would be perfect. I guess you can't please everyone.
