Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 , It is full of sugar and would really raise your blood sugar. What some people in my kefir group have done is take a bottle of Yacult as a starter and added some to their kefir or yogurt so that that particular bacteria would be incorporated into the yogurt starter or kefir grains. Making your own kefir or yogurt allows you to ferment the sugar out yet still gives you the probiotic benefits.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 , I'm no expert, but in my experience Yakult is always incredibly sweet. I speak Japanese, so I looked the ingredients up on the site, and here they are: Fructose liquid from grapes, sugar, powdered skim milk, flavoring. I'm not sure where all their claims of probiotics come in after looking at those ingredients! IMHO, it looks like you'd be better off with kefir or a powdered probiotic from a reputable company. -Todd > > i am wanting to try yacult, and wondering if the sugar that it is made > with would affect me, since i have diabetes II. is anyone familiar > with yacult? > > thanks, diana > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 A piece of kid's wisdom. Get 180 ml or so of milk and add Yakult to it. Shake well and leave it for a half day on your table. After 6-8 hours, it turns out all into Yakult (well,almost). So if you want to reduce sugar to your choice, increase the amount of milk and maybe better to add Oligo saccarides that is mono-sugar your body can not ingest and become food for biffidus-kin, it become fairly sweat, though. cheers, isao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hi Isao, I'll bet you could get rid of the sweetness if you had some kefir or kefir grains to add to the mix :-) and the K9's >A piece of kid's wisdom. > Get 180 ml or so of milk and add Yakult to it. > Shake well and leave it for a half day on your table. > After 6-8 hours, it turns out all into Yakult (well,almost). > > So if you want to reduce sugar to your choice, increase the amount of > milk and maybe better to add Oligo saccarides that is mono-sugar your > body can not ingest and become food for biffidus-kin, it become fairly > sweat, though.
