Just how friendly are those probiotics in your food?

Full story: Chicago Tribune

Ready for some live, active cultures in your chocolate? How about your breakfast cereal? Probiotics, the so-called friendly bacteria with health benefits, have broken out of the dairy case and are colonizing other areas of the supermarket.

A local company, Lifeway foods, makes kefir. It is by far the best tasting and most effective of the probiotic yogurts.

Thank you for an informative article. There is so much misinformation about nutrition these days. I'm glad you've chosen to be helpful to consumers. Not everyone is.

"Scientists cannot yet explain exactly how probiotics work"

So how do we know they don't also have the ability to cause long-term cancers? They may be beneficial in some ways, but I would be very cautious about ingesting something we know so little about.

I have been using acidophilus capsule suppliments for years. If I stop for a day or two I can feel the difference.

Keep things OUT of our food.. If we feel the need for any of those bugs sell them in health food stores.. I tried the yogurt that is suppose to work in 7 days.. after 2 I was in PAIN.. my stomach hurt so bad.. I do eat yogurt so it must have been something in it.. Again I have a feeling that people are going to dive deeper into more home cooked with home grown (or home canned items)..
I KNOW SOME IDIOT SAID IT'S GOOD FOR YOU AND IT'S NOT LIKE THEY ARE IN THE MARKET TO SELL YOU SOMETHING RIGHT?
Can't understand why ANYONE would trust these additives.. they are more unaware than drinkers and smokers..

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Scorpio

Your thoughts turn to the past today, putting you in a nostalgic mood. You're awash with sentimental tears as you dwell on days gone by or gaze at photos of people you'll never see again. However, try not to let this mood of reminiscence turn into a tendency to feel sorry for yourself and therefore to demand special treatment from others.
