Just what kind of "irregularity" is Activia supposed to fix?

The ads are quite vague in that respect.

3. So if you're not constipated

Does it result in...er...camping in the bathroom? I have some in the fridge and I'm half afraid to eat it.

4. You should eat it and find out.

Maybe it'll clean your system out.

6. No....

In general, yogurt helps regulate your system toward a neutral point. Also, any good yogurt with live, active cultures will do that. Activia just has better, specific marketing, in my experience.

10. agreed:

any good yogurt will do as long as they have the live bacteria in them. a lot of them are now labeled probiotic which is good. Activia is too sweet for my taste also the red dye they color it with is from carmine (=bugs). I prefer alternate brands.

5. You can take acidophilus, avoid the sugar in Activia, save a lot of $ and achieve the same result.

18. I like yogurt, but don't eat it everyday. Instead, I take a probiotic

supplement, and man, has that helped.

11. I love prune flavored Activia...

I am already very regular, thank you...I just like the flavor of the stuff.
But then, I've been a yoghurt fanatic for years.

12. It gets you to pay off the Mob "protectors" on time, every time.

Big Rocco likes that. Very much so.

21. A doctor once told me

as long as you are able to go when you need to, you're regular. There's no medical reason for going at exactly 7:23 AM or any other specified time.
