Dannon

Dannon products like Activia, Activia Light, and DanActive claim to be "clinically proven" to have health benefits. A law suit claims however that the advertisements are false, that the yogurt is not so special. Advertised as immune-boosting and helpful to the digestive system, Dannon claims their bacterias are unique. New information may negate this however. If Dannon is proven to have falsely advertised, the company will pay an estimated $300 million to "everyone in the U.S. the purchased their product."
I was very interested in this article because health news is important to me. I have always enjoyed reading about biology and nutrition, so this article especially caught my attention. A food that will not only improve immunity but also enhance one's digestive system? What a miracle right? I think this issue should remind us that there is no miracle food, pill, or exercise. Health comes from commitment, not an easy fix. Although I appreciate greatly the LA Times reporting of this particular story, I would have really liked to have seen more information about the science and biological facts. I would have liked to see perhaps a link to a more comprehensive study on the subject.
