16 out of 17 probiotics on the market have zero Bifidobacteria. It's just a gimmick.

Shocking...
Dr. Sabine Hazan: "I was drinking a liter of kefir every day and I couldn't find Bifidobacteria in my gut from that liter of kefir. So I tested the kefir in my fridge and basically noticed there was no Bifidobacteria, even though it said on the label, Bifidobacteria. So I was curious because here I am telling all my patients to drink kefir. Of course it's not going to improve their microbiome with mine didn't even improve.

So I went to my grocery store in Malibu and picked up a whole bunch of yogurts and a whole bunch of drinks that said Bifidobacteria in them. And then out of the drinks, out of the 26 drinks, only three of them had Bifidobacteria. And it was shocking because here I am telling patients, well, go get kefir and improve, go pick up a drink that has Bifidobacteria.

It was shocking to find out that actually so many drinks didn't have Bifidobacteria. It was also shocking to find out that out of the drinks that didn't have Bifidobacteria, not only did the drinks not have Bifidobacteria, but even the probiotics that say Bifidobacteria didn't have Bifidobacteria in there. 16 out of 17 probiotics on the market have zero Bifidobacteria. It's just a gimmick.

They don't put Bifidobacteria in there. So consumer beware because that's the problem. You are thinking you're taking on some probiotics or some drinks that is improving your gut and it's not necessarily improving your gut."
