HERE'S HOW YOU FIND OUT!!!<BR/><BR/>Realistically, if the two bacteria that Dannon has are genetically engineered, they're probably patented... just inform them that you plan to culture and market the bacteria in a condensed (pill) form or with yogurt, wait for the response from their legal team.<BR/><BR/>The thought that I consumed a possibly genetically modified bacteria bothers me.

How else could you regulate someone's digestion on our all American diet in two weeks. Nice that the FDA decided to let them simply list the new 'creation' as the ingredient instead of making Danon list how they made this magical Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22369914.post-48415553170475058962006-12-11T03:11:00.000-08:002006-12-11T03:11:00.000-08:00In 1969 or 1970 some friends of mine were sitting ...In 1969 or 1970 some friends of mine were sitting around enjoying some Pabst Blue Ribbon beer when one of them decided to read the label, only to find "approved food additives" listed among the ingredients.<br /><br />There followed a lengthy and ultimately hilarious exchange of letters (email didn't exist yet) with a flack in the Pabst marketing department who eventually got into the game.<br />Dick Margulishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169512038331158003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22369914.post-1160567861243916012006-10-11T04:57:00.000-07:002006-10-11T04:57:00.000-07:00The first time I heard about activia regularis in ...The first time I heard about activia regularis in Dannon's new yoghurt, I was immediately suspicious. Funny how they've suddenly discovered that if they put this amazing bacteria into their yoghurt, it will help with digestive problems and lo and behold! it has exactly the right name as well - one that anybody with even a smattering of Latin, can work out.

I figured, based on some of the research described in the Activa promotional materials (maybe something for docs?) that B. regularis was the same as B. animalis - I think that's the one that was shown to increase gut transit time. They may have just renamed it to make it sound better, more pharmaceutical perhaps.<BR/><BR/>But you're right, it could be an all-new, GM strain of the Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22369914.post-1143753458434945182006-03-30T13:17:00.000-08:002006-03-30T13:17:00.000-08:00There's loads of information about Bifidus Regular...There's loads of information about Bifidus Regularis (although not about the GMO / non-GMO issue) at <A HREF="http://www.bifidusdigestivum.com/" REL="nofollow">www.bifidusdigestivum.com</A>.
