I have heard that the one-and-only supposed beneficial effect of yoghurt (other than its ordinary qualities as a low-lactose fine food), the contribution towards a healthy intestinal flora, just isn't so. Acidophilus bacteria do not contribute to the intestinal bacterial population, regardless of whether or not active cultures of Acidophilus are consumed. I cannot give a citation for this right now, since I came across it so long ago. I'll try to find it. -- /Steve Dyer decvax!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca
