Yogurt with live cultures can be beneficial to people who's own gut
flora is out of whack from antibiotic use to illness for example. The
live cultures help reestablish a good flora balance. We ALL have
bacteria in our guts doing their little jobs (making vitamins, for
example) and they chug along happily until getting out of whack.
Some people with "lactose intolerance" tolerate acidophilis milk or
yogurt just fine.
