The organic ingredients we use to make our frozen yogurt were produced without the use of antibiotics, synthetic growth hormones such as (rBGH) and toxic pesticides.

PROBIOTICS – literally meaning “for life” – are active live cultures, found in our frozen yogurt, which according to studies, can be beneficial to your health in numerous ways.

Does Activia yogurt by Dannon really work?

Question by planty: Does Activia yogurt by Dannon really work?
You know, the kind that promotes digestive regularity? (Bifidus Regularis) Does it help persons with irritable bowel syndrome?

Best answer:

Answer by sin titulo
they key is *fiber*

the average recommended amount is 24-35 grams a day. most americans only get 12..if even that.

dont buy into the stupid commercials and claims that “this product will do (whatever!!) for you!!!!” instead, why not try to eat more fruit and vegetables, as well as whatever high fiber grains/other foods you like.

whats called ‘friendly bacteria’ …as found in yogurt, raw foods, and various supplements….does definitely help digestion and your overall health.
though i wouldnt rely on a commercial or advertisement to tell me whats good for me.

Explaining the effect of Activia yogurt in the gastrointestinal tract?

Alan — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 18:46:04 +0000

Question by Mpav: Explaining the effect of Activia yogurt in the gastrointestinal tract?
Does anyone know anything about what exactly the probiotics in Activia do in the gastrointestinal tract or the intestinal transit? Do you want to have along total transit time or a short total transit time? I’ve been reading http://www.activia.us.com/pdf/Act_scientific_summary.pdf?v1 this summary but i can’t really figure out exactly what they mean. Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by tranquil
As claimed, it helps in the maintainance of the intestinal flora necessary for us to function normally. The probiotics help primarily with maintaining regular bowel movement.

People with altered bowel movements are the elderly, on medication (such as antibiotics), sedentary and those with issues with digestion.

A short total transit time will produce diarrhea, while a long transit time will cause constipation. The normal digestion from the mouth to the anus takes from 48 to 72 hours. Anything within this time frame is acceptable.

Probiotic Culture…I am wondering if dry or dried probiotics are as effective as the living kind in yogurt.?

Question by c: Probiotic Culture…I am wondering if dry or dried probiotics are as effective as the living kind in yogurt.?
I use to by a lot of liquid acidophilus and eat yogurt. But recently I have seen Kashi cereal with probiotics. Also, I bought a very expensive bottle of pills by Nature’s Way called Primadophilus Optima that claims to have 35 billion cfu potency of 14 strains of probiotics. However, I thought a culture needed moisture to thrive and survive. I would appreciate some input, advice, and educational direction. I bought the bottle and I’m taking the pills to be on the safe side but sometimes I worry that I’m just being a sucker for false claims.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Best answer:

Answer by Ace X E
I like Dr. Ohhira’s probiotics. It’s a little pricey but it works. I agree that it’s tough to accept some of those potency claims.

Question by goofy: Cons for Yogurt Probiotics?
I need help finding journal article to support that Yogurt Probiotics can be bad for human body. Something that supports with data and graphs.

Best answer:

Answer by essentiallysolo
about the only time yogurt is harmful is if the person has a lactose intolerance or allergy. Otherwise there is no harm, the probiotics used in yogurt exist naturally in the intestines anyway.

Yogurt making question – I put the probiotics in too soon?

Alan — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:53:19 +0000

Question by IQ: Yogurt making question – I put the probiotics in too soon?
The probiotics went in too soon (around 115 or 120 degrees F). So I’m sure they’re dead, I’m trying to cool it in an ice bath now.
So, once it cools to the proper temp, is it okay for me to add more probiotics and make yogurt from it, or is it completely shot at this point?
If I can’t use it for yogurt, is it safe to still drink the milk with the dead probiotics in it?

Best answer:

Answer by B. Garni
If the temp was 115, then they probably aren’t dead. I always thought 120 was the “killing” temp for a yogurt culture. But, to be sure what I would do is to heat the milk to about 130 in order to be sure to kill off what you’ve added. And then I would add some more starter once the milk is at the proper temp. The dead starter shouldn’t have much affect, if any.

Good Luck!

Does anybody know how to make homemade yogurt bunny treats?

Alan — Sat, 01 May 2010 06:10:09 +0000

My older bunny is needing to eat some yogurt to get extra probiotics. He doesn’t want to eat the yogurt….must be a strange taste or type of food for him, and I noticed there are pre-packaged yogurt treats, but they are full of sugar and look like candy. How can I make something healthier for him?
