The most commonly added cultures include Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei, L. reuteri and Bifidobacterium bifidum. These "probiotic" bacteria pass through the stomach to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. There, they help maintain a healthy balance between the 200-plus kinds of bacteria that live there.
Yogurt starter cultures and probiotics are being investigated for their possible role in just about everything from improved digestion and reduced risk of intestinal infection to improved immune function and reduced risk of certain cancers. As is typical, the results vary from claim to claim and study to study Claims regarding the usefulness of probiotics in reducing the risk of intestinal infections also seem to have some merit. Studies have shown, for example, that children suffering from chronic diarrhea recover faster when fed yogurt with probiotic cultures. Adults suffering from traveler's diarrhea also seem to benefit. Scientists attribute this to probiotics' apparent ability to create an acidic environment that inhibits harmful bacteria. | |

Then they kinda help me out in my tummy? Cool! If I eat other things that are alive, will they also help out? | |
