While you can obtain some benefits from
consuming these bacteria, the delivery
mechanism may still prove imperfect, and
individual tolerance varies greatly. Feel free
to play around with unsweetened yogurt or

Conventionally-produced, sweetened, low-fat
yogurt will not make you healthier, even if
there is fruit on the bottom!
The good news is that yogurt is not the
only place that you can find beneficial
bacteria. Unpasteurized sauerkraut and
kimchi, kombucha, and fermented coconut
water “kefir” (as well as a probiotic
supplement, if indicated) are good sources of
beneficial gut bacteria without the potential
downsides of most dairy.*
