Those Little Yoghurt Drinks
With "good bacteria" ( 
) or something like bifidus digsetivium or el casiiiiiii immunitinus
Are they actually beneficial? Or are they, as I cycnically believe, a waste of money? Surely you get "good bacteria" elsewhere - otherwise how have we been surviving all these years?
I see so many pots in the fridges at uni and all I can think is "fools!" but that opinion really is without any basis! ANy experts? Anyone drink them?

Its scientific rubbish i reckon, its just like those hair product ads that make up chemical names..having said that, they taste lovely
We got a weeks free Yakult from the milkman ages ago, was great stuff, I didn't see any outstanding benefits to drinking it, but it can't exactly do any harm.
Plus the adverts were pretty cool, with the hot woman and geeky science dude.

lol, i was more interested in the female character but yeh they rocked.
'friendly bacteria' etc.. etc.. or however it went.
I think it's all cynical merchandising..
Wasn't one of those adverts about a woman who got caught on CCTV acting like a ****? If THAT'S what it does to you than no thanks, I do enough stupid things on my own

I have been having them for about a year now and I havent had a cold all winter. I dont know if that is proof that they or working or not though. But hey.
I love them drinks but only get them when they're on offer!!!!
Ok they are utter rubbish and here why
1) You have over 200 species of bacteria in your stomach. Do you honestly think that a little bit of what our professor calls 'faecal yoghurt' will make much difference
2) As people have quite rightly pointed out, few bacteria survive stomach acid. Those that do will probably not survive the Bile salts.
3) Contrary to what the adverts say about 'friendly' bacteria, they are still 'bad'. They are parasites. They 'GIVE' us nothing, they take away food. When you keep someone in a sterile environment, and clean out their bacteria, they are much healthier and grow faster - look at how antiobiotic plied farm animals used to be much healthier. Course our world is so dirty, the first curry takeway you had and you'd be infected again.
4) The only use these bacteria have is stopping even worse bacteria like C.Difficle getting there.
In short, there is little point drinking these silly yoghurts. Your gut has billions of bacteria. So much that every gram of poo has over a million bacteria in it.
Drinking these expensive fads is like pouring a bucket of water into the sea to 'top it up'
