(And, oh yeah, what does it taste like?)
I keep seeing commercials for it. I saw some in the grocery store, but I don't want to buy any until I know exactly what it does.
 
i'm not canadian....and i don't know what it is :shrugs: but i can say that i've had it before (boyfriend's parents buy it) and i think it tastes great so don't let any flavor worries deter you.....it was a great texture, creamy, and oh so yummy :drool:

oh and check out this site....

Activia by Dannon
 
It's REALLY yummy! One of the reasons it's so good is the cream they add to it! It is higher in fat than most other yogurt, but it's SO good! Don't eat it straight out of the tub---it's difficult to stop!!! :nuts:

It's good FOR you because of all the active bacterial cultures in it--really good for digestion.
 
Well, supposedly you eat a serving everyday for 2 weeks and it helps regulate your digestion. Honestly, I didn't eat it for two weeks straight (because I bought 2 weeks worth, but the BF ended up eating a 1 week supply), so I'm not sure if I noticed any difference or not. At least in my experience, it didn't have a laxative-type effect.

It tastes great, though!

and btw, I'm in the US and we have it here too :smile:
 
Active cultures help general immune system strenghtening plus help fight yeast infections by giving your system the proper Ph.

Danone Activia is great! Aside from yogurt being healthy as is, the yogurt contains Probiotic cultures that help regulate your digestive system. It's said that if you eat it regularly, than you'll be able to "flush out" your system more on a regular basis without a laxative effect. You can't taste the probiotic culture. It's just very Y-U-M-M-Y !
