Maybe That's Why Those Russian Guys Who Ate Yogurt Lived So Long

Hey, I was just watching TV and saw a commercial for Yakult, which is a probiotic drink and hints heavily that it's good for your digestive system, or, in other words, it helps you poop. Yeah, right, likely story. But several studies show that probiotics do help fix gut problems. The "good" bacteria do clean you out, and both help strengthen your immune system AND reduce stomach inflammation, which is a hard trick to pull off at the same time. So, um, maybe I shouldn't laugh at the cheesy (no pun intended) commercials. (MSNBC)
