Is it true that the bacteria in yogurt cannot survive stomach acid?

There is only one product, all-natural Optiflora, and it is patented, that guarantees that the microflora reach your intestines live (500 million of them). It's a triple encapsulation of natural ingredients that are used to protect microflora until they are released in the intestines. This process protects the microflora during storage, shipping and the acidic journey through your stomach. The statement on products such as yogurt are only telling you that the microflora was live at the time of manufacture - not that they will reach your intestines live.

I think what you heard is that if you are prescribed an antibiotics it destroys all bacteria even the good ones (enzymes to help in food digestion) therefore it is important to eat yogurt if you have been prescribed antibiotics.

It doesn't affect everyone that way, but yogurt is good for you anyway.

actually the bacteria in yogurt, usually acidophilus, does indeed survive stomach acids, good thing too because we need that bacteria in our intestines for digestion and absorption and to fight off pathogenic organisms.

Nope, it most certainly can survive stomach acids. The live acidophilus cultures are very, very good for promoting intestinal regularity and health.

I believe that this is correct. In fact, there isn't too much that can survive it.

yup it's true. they are actually there to protect the acids so you can digest your foods.
