The BBCs "Truth about food" program did a test with one group taking these drinks and another eating a diet high in vegtables.

The group taking the drinks had little effect compared to those eating their greens

The reports I've read say most of this added bacteria is destroyed in the stomach before reaching the intestines where it's required.

I minded my friends flat, who left me one of those Danone pro biotic drinks for each morn over twenty days. I noticed no difference.
