Has anyone here tried the new Activia by Dannon? What was your take on it?

AS long as they put sugar in it don't bother, ...from my studies of important internal bacteria sugar renders it basically useless for the purpose for which they promote it.

Activia is a fat-free yoghurt produced by Danone and sold in pots of 125 g. Activia contains a biological culture that Danone has branded with the made-up names Bifidus digestivum and Bifidus regularis. It also contains vitamin B12 and calcium.

Danone claims that the 'good bacteria' in the yoghurt can help digestive discomfort but many people criticise it for just being an advertising ploy. While there is some speculation that yoghurt cultures can improve digestion and health, Danone appears to have invented and trademarked fake latin names for bacterial cultures that are designed to fool consumers into believing that they have a unique species not available in any other yoghurt
