Yogurt is one of the few probiotic foods that Americans regularly eat. When we get enough probiotics -- friendly bacteria that help to drive out their bad counterparts and some yeasts -- we get a health benefit, according to a definition of the World Health Organization and the Food and Agricultur...

    While tempeh is a probiotic food when we eat it raw, it sure tastes better cooked. Of course, cooking destroys the probiotics, i.e. the good bacteria in the tempeh. Few people eat tempeh raw, and I can't find any recipes that would preserve the good bateria. Does anybody have any recommendations?

    Hi David:

    Your great articles continue to educate me.

     

    I found Greek Yogurt at the Deli Counter of Akhaven Foods in Montreal salt and sugar free, which  is scooped into plastic containers and weighed  before sale , so there is no nutritional information. It must be pretty high in fat , it is so creamy!

     

    Now a question, is it better to eat a high fat Greek yogurt or stay with Stoneyfield Probiotic Organic Plain Yogurt fat content is 8% and contains inulin

    Dear Joan,

     

    Personally, I would go for the Greek-style yogurt even if it had fat. But can't you get Oikos yogurt in Montreal? It is Greek-style, organic, and non-fat.
