Finally, an obesity epidemic theory that makes some sense.
As a side issue, this study also points to how important it is to have natural (vaginal) birth whenever possible.
As more and more women scheduled c-sections simply for their convenience — being told it made no difference to their baby’s health — fewer babies got the gene-specific gut flora dose they would have had they been born vaginally.
Every time man tries to equate what he dreams up with the processes that God created, he dorks it up on some level.
You can have my gut flora why you pry it from my cold, dead ... er ... gut.
Wonder who paid for this research? Still, this probiotic yogurt tastes good and doesn't hurt you, so why not? I get it in cartons of 32 at a wholesale store.
The corn syrup theory makes no sense.
Placemarker ... Lactobacilli are important when treating yeast infections and when taking massive doses of antibiotics orally. I used to have a family practice intern whose wife got yeast infections every other month. He woud ask for the gynelotrimin seven day treatment each time. One time I recommended that he look into having her douche with thinned out buttermilk and see if she could avoid the yeast infections. Five months later he thanked me for the suggestion because she was no longer getting the yeast infections based upon which ovary was ovulating.
Personal experiment: replacing calories with a high quality active culture plain yogurt has not resulted in weight loss for me. Your mileage may vary.
Why do you say that?
Do you notice any less inflammation, such as less allergy symptoms or less puffy hands, or anything? My son had asthma as a toddler. Now, I notice he naturally gravitates to foods that are inflammation fighters, and we haven’t had asthma problems in several years. I want to know if this could be helpful to him.
Same here, but I do feel better when I have yogurt daily. I just avoid the one with high fructose corn syrup, like Yoplait. High fructose corn syrup has an extra molecule. This molecule makes it harder to digest. Because it is harder to digest it stays in the system longer. Staying the system longer allows it to raise blood glucose levels for a longer period of time, and allows it to get store as fat more easily.
Don't believe the commercials telling you that the body can't tell the difference. It certainly can. About a month ago I was fortunate enough to chat with a nutritionist about this exact thing.
kinky......
I eat plain yogurt and fruit - no sugar or corn syrup. You get used to less sweetness after a while - you can add a little honey and taper down. It doesn’t seem to make a difference in how I feel but it’s probably healthier than what I used to eat.
"Shut up and eat your damned yogurt!"

That picture of Jamie reminds me of a set of twins who are now in their early sixties. One lady smoked most of her adult life, while the other lady stopped smoking at twenty-two when she married a guy who didn’t smoke. Side-by-side now, the lady who smoked/smokes is more wrinkled and looks ten years older than her non-smoking sister. Both have active outdoor lifestyles, too.
If I miss a couple of days, my stomach doesn’t feel right. It hurts, a dull ache. We have both dannon with fruit and the regular no sugar added then add our own fruit. I don’t like having all the artificial sweeteners, but some in the family don’t care for the regular and add your own fruit.
