Thanks @Arnie Pye for the links. Very interesting reading.

As an example, on p.22 you can read the following about lactose malabsorbtion:

" Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus improve lactose digestion and reduce symptoms related to lactose intolerance. This was confirmed in a number of controlled studies with individuals consuming yogurt with live cultures"

 

Glad you found it interesting, @Helen.
