Content: There's some evidence that certain strains of probiotics (consumed either in pill form or in food) may help reduce diarrhea, relieve constipation, or have other digestive benefits. But there’s not enough solid evidence to recommend their widespread use. Vague claims that probiotics "support good digestive health" are meaningless. Larger, longer, and better-quality studies are needed to test specific strains for specific conditions and to determine the proper doses and regimens. If you still want to purchase yogurt with live cultures, look for products that carry the voluntary “Live & Active Culture” seal from the National Yogurt Association. But keep in mind that, unless you are lactose intolerant, there is no evidence that the live cultures in yogurt are going to do much of anything for you. For a full listing of nutrients, see Yogurt (plain, low-fat) and Strawberry Yogurt in the National Nutrient Database. ADVERTISEMENT
