Is your yogurt alive with goodness?

[Guest guest]

Is your yogurt alive with goodness? Whether you're using yogurt in recipes, enjoying it plain or with fresh fruit, make sure you choose brands with " live " or " active " cultures. These cultures help maintain the " friendly " bacteria in our digestive tracts. Many yogurts sold in supermarkets don't contain them because they are heat-treated after fermentation to extend their shelf-life. Check the labels for the words " active yogurt cultures, " " living yogurt cultures, " or " contains active cultures. " (Don't be fooled by the words " made with active cultures. " All yogurts start out with active cultures, but heat kills them.) Yogurt containing live cultures keeps in the refrigerator for about two weeks. If mold and gas bubbles form, throw it out, but don't worry about greenish or clear liquid floating on top, this is the whey or liquid component of yogurt. It's harmless and can be stirred in before eating. -- Diana Gonzalez Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously - live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.

I have noticed that alot of times if you buy the " generic or store

brand " yogarts, they have the live cultures and they do not have alot

of the artificial stuff the name brands have. I stopped buying the

name brands because of this reason. Funny how it worked out,save

money and get better food,lol.
