lacto-bacilius bacteria: Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei, L. reuteri and Bifidobacterium bifidum
Yogurt starter cultures and probiotics are being investigated for their possible role in just about everything from improved digestion and reduced risk of intestinal infection to improved immune function and reduced risk of certain cancers. As is typical, the results vary from claim to claim and study to study.
