Clinical studies have shown GG probiotic is safe, but is LACTOGG® sweet?
Probiotics which contain sugars and artificial sweeteners are a definite “NO”.
Some probiotic preparations use artificial sugars to bulk up their product and make it palatable to babies and children.
There is increasing research evidence that young babies and children should not be exposed to daily doses of sugary supplements because this encourages the development of a life-long bad habit for sweet food and drinks and interferes with their appetite.
This is especially true when mothers mistakenly let young children take sweet drinks containing yoghurt starters thinking that they contain healthy probiotics. Such “yoghurt drinks” must contain sugar to cover-up the sourness of fermented milk simply because no one (especially children) will want to drink raw sour milk.
A quick read of the ingredients will show that volume for volume, most “yoghurt drinks” contain more sugar than soft drinks!
Long term health supplements or drinks should be healthy.... not sweet and sugary.
Does LACTOGG® pass this test?
Yes. LACTOGG® does not contain any added sugar or artificial sweeteners yet it has a mild, pleasant and natural sweet taste.
