Eat your germs...

I believe this to be true. If you've ever taken antibiotics to get better from some type of sickness, those antibiotics actually kill off the good probiotics in your intestine (which are necessary for processing your food). Since I've been drinking Danactive, I've noticed a vast improvement in my overall health. In fact, I haven't had a cold in 2 years.

I am sure they do work. You can buy a big 1 quart bottle of Kefir and get about the same result though. It is about $3 a quart as opposed to $4 for a 4-pack of like 4 ounce bottles.

Hmm...my understanding was that the "new" yogurt is no different than the regular stuff...it is just marketed differently. Yes, it is good for you, but, moderation is usually key in anything- even in things that are good for you.

I think that the FDA will be looking into such claims. The products like Activa or the Live culture type cheese products look to be somewhat professional. Not like claims made by homeopathic 'medicine' which appears unsubstantiated.

I know that yogurt helps you after you have been taking antibiotics to ward off yeast infections so i say yes it should be a good thing to come.

It's hard to say, you know anymore everything we do or eat is not good for us. So who knows.

I'm not really sure. I am sure that we do eat tons of bacteria every day though even though we do not acvtually realise wea re eating it. I bet some of it may be good for us and our health. I hope they check it out thoroughly though before they provide it for us.

I have no idea.. i dont buy into all that activa bacteria yogurt stuff. I buy wahtever yogurt is on sale lol. if it happens to be tthat kind then so be it. as long as its not fat free or sugar free its all good. Oh and the non gelatin kind sort of sucks too.. its pretty runny.

We talked about this in my microbiology class, pretty much what I learned is that everyone has a lot of bacteria growing in them in the first place. It is just the idea if you can have good (or at least not harmful) bacteria growing then there will not be room for new (bad) bacteria to grow. Also some bacteria can neutralize our body's by-products, then we are happy too. I dont think that I will switch over to a diet of all yogurt, but a little here and there cant hurt.

Really an interesting information.. and i think this will work.
