i wonder what a good natural source of LGG is? gorbach and his colleague

goldin initially isolate LGG from the human GI tract, but where does the

human GI tract get it from? milk? they " discovered " and patented LGG which

you can now buy in capsule form from one of the conglomerates that purchased

the rights - it's called " culturelle " .
