I never said I did not agree with that. I said that many of take the shelf kind. The type I take require refridgeration after opening. The shelf life kind are in a freeze dried state is all. And yes they are not as effevctive. Maybe not at all. Since I have to have successfully implant enough to be well I have no proof.
I had candida before and got well eating commercial yogurt , artifically sweetened to boot. I would not recoomend it though that that so mucn more is known.
Now I eat tons of homemade yogurt as I recommeded. That is really the best bet. Of course, homemade yogurt is made using the same freeze dried stuff in the shelf life probiotics. But at leas they have time to come back to lvie and multiply.
