Jabberwocky Posted March 13, 2008 Author Posted March 13, 2008 A couple of years ago I tried that... Activia? yoghurt that adds good bacteria to your gut, I tried it for about three months and didnt feel any different. My farts STILL stripped the paint off passing cars, I STILL had galloping indigestion and I was skint!
Daven Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 It 'aids digestive transit' - makes you poo . in other words ! Eat a healthy diet and there no need to waste money on this rubbish.
medusa Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 It 'aids digestive transit' - makes you poo . in other words ! Eat a healthy diet and there no need to waste money on this rubbish. There is insufficient proof of this too, according to the FDA in the US.
pattricia Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 There are pre-biotics and pro-biotics. Any fibre would do as well.
shaznay Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 actually I have just started drinking these little yogurts, I really like them, I didnt buy them because of the claims, they just happened to be on offer in sainsburys. I dont know if it's coincidence or not but my no. 2's have been a lot better consistency recently,( sorry if thats too much information) i can only put it down to the actimel.

FairyNormal Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 These yoghurts are so full of sugar that it cancells out any good effects that the 'good bacteria' contained within may actually have. If you really want to supplement your bacteria levels, get a supplement from a health food shop.

I was wondering why they tasted so good - 6.5 % sugar.
evildrneil Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 It's a marketing name - I suppose it does sound snappier than the actual name of the bug which is Bifidobacterium animalis DN-173 010! The actual marketing name used (digestivum / regularis etc.) depends on the country but it's all the same stuff.
DaFoot Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 It's only the same as the "science" in the make-up adverts.... 'With active something or other' 'contains super dooper lipids' etc. Do ladies really go for all that bolx?
