Consumer Report on Probiotics....Unbelievable

[Guest guest]

Consumer Reports magazine did a report on probiotics. I was

completely blown away at their findings.

Using 2 independent labs, looking for live/good bacteria, they

tested 14 capsules, tablets and gel caps. They tested 4 liquid

supplements, 5 yogurts, and 4 yogurt drinks. You aren't going to

believe the results:

Highest levels of good bacteria, at least 10 billion CFUs:

YOGURTS

Breyers Fruit on the Bottom Lowfat

Colombo Light

Dannon Fruit on the Bottom

Stoneyfield Farm Organic

Yoplait

YOGURT DRINKS

Breyers Creme Savers Smoothie

Dannon Light 'n Fit Smoothie

Stoneyfield Farm Smoothie

Youplait Nouriche

SUPPLEMENTS

Bio-K Acidophilus/Casei Liquid

Continental Natural Acidophilus Liquid

Dannon DanActive Immunity Liquid

TwinLab Super Acidophilus

High Levels of Good Bacteria, 1-10 Billion CFUs

SUPPLEMENTS

Country Life Power Dofilus

Natrol Acidophilus

Nature Made Acidophilus

(there are at least 5 more)

Lower Levels of Good Bacteria, LESS then 1 Billion CFUs (this is the

mind blower)

American Health Acidophilus Liquid

Enzamatic Therapy Acidophilus Pearls (Isn't this Tietlebaums?)

Primal Defense by Garden of Life?????!!!!!

Origin (get it at TARGET)

Sundown Acidophilus

Primal Defense was in the same category as the Target brand!!!

Primal Defense costs $1.20 and Target brand costs .06!!

Yogurts like Yoplait and Dannon have by far more good bacteria then

Primal Defense???!!!We all would had scoffed at anyone thinking they

were getting enough probiotics from YOPLAIT. I definetly will be

rethinking my probiotics and where I spend my money.
