It seems to me that Dannon's claims make sense. I'm no scientist but isn't yoghurt full of all that "good bacteria" anyway? Cultures, etc? I will admit that "bifidus regularis" sounds like something that was invented at an ad agency. I recall a TV commercial many years ago that claimed an 80 year old man in Soviet Georgia ate Dannon yougurt every day and so did his mother!!! As I understand Dannon's commercials, Activa, etc. aids digestion. It isn't a magic cure-all for everything that ails you.
