Ben Greenfield reports that 18 chemicals were found in consumer foods and supplements including baby food, prenatal vitamins, and yogurt. He's skeptical of store-bought probiotics and recommends making homemade yogurt using Dr. William Davis's Gut Fix Yogurt recipe instead.
At least one of the 18 chemicals they tested for was found in every baby food, every prenatal supplement, human breast milk, yogurt, ice cream products to name only a few categories. They also found plastic chemicals in all products tested from Starbucks, Gerber, Chobani, Strauss, Celsius Blue Bottle, RX Bar, Coca Cola, Tartine and Ghirardelli Chocolate. Now fortunately on the website they listed how much each of those things contained and the percentage of the limit that it actually was. One was probiotics. That actually didn't surprise me too much. I think you need a well formulated probiotic. I think honestly the very, very best way to do it is to make your own yogurt. I mean in terms of the billion billion count of probiotics you can get. And I realize you're not going to travel with yogurt but if you're at home, there's this one yogurt recipe my wife and I make. It's called Dr. William Davis's gut Fix Yogurt.
