I've not had any tummy probs since I have taken Aloe Vera Juice every day.
My Yoga instructor told me about and she was right. But always look for a brand that is certified by IACS (International Aloe Science Council), they should have their stamp on the container.

Re: Im wondering.

It is of course a little known fact that these pro-biotic yoghurts are in fact simply cultures of lacto-bacteria that have been sourced from . . . . human and sometimes animal sh1t. It's not something the companies are keen to admit but there was a good TV documentary last year that covered it. The presenter went to the manufacturers, who wouldn't say, then he went to the laboratories who cultured the stuff and eventually got them to admit that essentially it's bacteria taken from faeces.

Specific to Activia. . . .

"The ‘14 day Activia challenge’ is a clever marketing ploy to allow the buyer to think that in those 14 days they will become more regular and “get your digestive system back on track”. They do this by adding a particular strain of bacteria called B. animalis. (In the UK Danone have Trade marked the strain and on the label you may see Bifidus Digestivum) This particular strain of bacteria is derived from the feces of animals such as rats, chickens and calves. Yes your read that right from their feces ! Now if you were worried about the sugar content of these drinks this will be the least of your worries now you’ve learned where they derive the bacteria from…eeeeek !"

In the end, do not trust food manufacturers for a second. Research EVERYTHING you eat, thoroughly. imo.
