On supermarket racks you can see a huge range of yoghurts with bright labels and high-profile brand names. But not everyone knows what lies behind the beautiful shell.
Probably all of us have heard of lacto-and bifidobacteria contained in yogurt. It is they who bear the huge benefits the digestive system of our body. But is there the beneficial bacteria in yogurt store?
Scientists say the EU consumer organizations - industrial yogurts do not benefit the body. During the experiment, they tested about 180 yogurt ingredients. Ten of the most popular supplements, scientists announced useless. On the basis of the research, many companies have banned to claim produced dairy desserts as preventive and especially as therapeutic.
yogurt manufacturers guarantee that the number of "live" bacteria in the product is approximately 10 million per gram. However, the results of an independent examination, desserts popular brands of beneficial microorganisms turned out to be an order of magnitude less than that stated on the package, or they are simply absent.
Israeli scientists at the Weizmann Institute conducted tests to understand how yogurt affect the body. It was found that the beneficial bacteria from the dessert almost do not survive in the gut. Although some use of such a product is, but it is much less than is commonly believed.
Recently publishing BMJ Open published the results of research scientists from the Universities of Leeds and Surrey. For the experiment, they took yogurt from 921 stores in Britain and examined their structure. In 90% of desserts sugar much higher than the norms accepted in the EU. In Ukraine, an independent examination showed that one serving of store yogurt contains three teaspoons of sugar, while the package manufacturer specifies 10 g sugar per 100 g of finished product, is 40% more of said digits. According to the technical regulations of divergence are acceptable, but not more than 15%.
Therefore, nutritionists, doctors do not recommend to use this product for people who are watching their diet, and particularly those suffering from diabetes.
Have you ever wondered why yogurt can be kept more than a month without refrigeration? Rather, they can be called canned than useful for the organism fermented milk product. Please note that the shelf life of yogurt containing the beneficial bacteria should not be more than 3 days.
