I want to brag about my lab report re cholesterol.
12/5/07 Overall 223 HDL 56 LDL 143
1/20/09 Overall 218, still high BUT HDL 71 and LDL 118 and the ratio is 3.1
It is either exercise or Niacin, the only changes since the first results.
I am eating yogurt daily to cleanse my intestines of bacteria so I won't get sick on my trip. I read about this in a Consumers Report health newsletter.

Does the cleanse also work with soy yogurt?
ReplyDeleteThe article says yogurt containing "friendly" intestinal bacteria called "probiotics." The picture is of Yoplait Original - I got no fat Archer Farms (Target brand). It doesn't say it contains probiotics but it does say "active yogurt cultures" and of course, milk.
ReplyDeleteYou are not "cleansing your intestines of bacteria"...you are INTRODUCING beneficial bacteria to your intestines.
ReplyDeleteYes, UncleSam, it works with soy yogurt. As long as it has probiotics. But a pill works, too, and is cheaper!
ReplyDeleteThough to be honest, I've never noticed much of a difference one way or the other... I'm sure it just depends on what the person's gut is already like.
