Why goat yogurt is fantastic!

[Guest guest]

Here is an important article about the benefits of yogurt:

Why is goat yogurt better than the nut yogurt? The dairy protects

the probiotics from being destroyed in the stomach; more probiotics

will reach the colon.

Oro-ileal intubation was performed in 6 healthy volunteers who

ingested, either 100 g of a fermented milk containing 10(8)/g

Lactobacillus acidophilus and 10(7)/g Bifidobacterium sp or

sterilized fermented milk along with a meal in random order.

Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium were counted in the

ileal fluid which was aspirated continuously for 8 h, and flow rates

were calculated using the constant slow infusion of PEG 4000. After

ingestion of fermented milk but not after control, hourly ileal flow

rates of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium increased

form 4.8 +/- 0.2 and 4.9 +/- 0.6 to 7.2 +/- 0.3 and 8.0 +/- 0.3,

respectively (mean +/- SE log10 CFU). 8.3 +/- 0.2 Lactobacillus

acidophilus and 8.8 +/- 0.1 Bifidobacterium were recovered in the

ileum which represented 1.5 percent and 37.5 percent of the ingested

bacteria, respectively. In conclusion, under usual conditions of

fermented milk ingestion, a large number of living Lactobacillus

acidophilus and Bifidobacterium pass through the upper

gastrointestinal tract and reach the colon.
