What is it with these drinks becoming so popular, they taste horrible and don't do you any good whatsoever. The companies rename the bacteria they contain to things that sound like they were thought by a bunch of 15 year olds with a vague knowledge of how taxanomic classification works; 'L.Casei Imunitas' 'Bifidus Digestvium', if they have to rename their product it clearly doesn't work. They rename it because there is no science behind the bacteria having any beneficial effect what-so-ever. What's wrong with Lactobacillus Casei
The first thing I would hope people would realize is that this company is telling you that this bacteria 'Helps' your local bacteria yet you digest it! The yoghurt drink goes through the concentrated HCl acid, enzymes and other bacterial traps to make it through to your intenstines. By the time the bacteria reach your intestines their effect is none whatsoever since the bacteria occur naturally in your gut anyway and since they multiply so quickly the small amount that actually make it through will have no effect whatsoever on your health. Every metholodical trial of the drinks has shown absoloutely no positive effect good enough to warrant the consumption of the bacteria and it is infact shown to have a negative effect on people with immune system disorders.
