Is store bought cultured buttermilk pro-biotic?

I have recently been trying to add more pro-biotic foods like kefir and yogurt to my diet. I had started drinking buttermilk as well after I read online that buttermilk contained similar active cultures but the label does not state the product as having any live cultures in it. To complicate matters now I am learning that old fashioned buttermilk is not the same thing as modern cultured buttermilk.

Does anyone know if store bought cultured buttermilk is pro-biotic?

    Usually store bought buttermilk does not have active cultures but if you go to a health food store you will find several brands that do.

    There is a really cool product out from Dannon yogurt called immune something or other. At least I do know that Immune is in big letters. The bottles are about 2 ounces each and it come in a 4-pack and can be found with their regular yogurt. It comes in 3 flavors now and I understand that it has been blowing off of the shelves so more flavors will soon be available. It tastes great and is pro-biotic.

    It runs about $2.25 for the 4 pack. My family really likes it and after reading the label information, I thinks it's worth allot more.

    Does Buttermilk Have Live Cultures

  • 5 years ago

    Not likely unless "Live Bacteria" or Lactobacillis is shown as ingredients.

    Too, a milk protein called casein is carcinogenic! (Read THE CHINA STUDY Colin Campbell, Ph.D.)

    So, is milk wonderful or nutritious
