How does probiotic yogurt lower cholesterol?
Several scientific studies have been carried out to test whether yogurt consumption reduces cholesterol levels or not, but so far the results are not consistent.
There are at least two ways in which bacteria could affect serum cholesterol. As the bacteria in the lower intestines ferment, they produce compounds called short chain fatty acids or SCFA's. One SCFA - propionic acid in particular has been shown to decrease cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This would reduce the amount of cholesterol circulating in the blood. Some bacteria also have the ability to break down bile acids. Bile acids are secreted into the intestines but is re- absorbed and so most of the cholesterol is re-cycled back into the body. If the bile acids are broken down, the cholesterol is not reabsorbed but is flushed out in the feces.
Some jello may contain gelatin, an ingredient that is usually animal based and from pigs. Muslims should look for kosher or halal certification to ensure that these ingredients are not in the jello.
What do you call a yogurt maker?
Yogurt is made by regulating milk temperature, which causes bacteria to grow. Automatic yogurt makers simply keep milk at the right temperatures for an extended period of time, which allows beneficial bacteria to grow.
It's a matter of personal taste. You'll have to try it to see if you like it.

What are the metabolic pathways involved with making yogurt?
glycolytic pathway which explains the breakdown of glucose to pyruvate. the glucose is formed from initial breakdown of sucrose(sugar found in milk) to galactose and glucose. the pyruvate produced is then acted upon by lactic acid bacteria anaerobically to produce citric acid, hence the sour taste of yoghurt.

Why do fruit yoghurts contain no sugar?
Actually you have become a victim of the oldest ingredients trick in the book.
Fruit yoghurt in fact DOES contain sugar, even if the packaging claims it doesn't.
What the package should really say is "no added sugar" instead of "no sugar".
All fruits naturally contain small traces of (healthy) sugar, which is why they taste sweet. So, there is no reason to *add* any more sugar into the yoghurt.
Is yogurt okay for a golden gecko?
sure golden geckos have a sweet tooth and love it. Be sure to mix some calcium powder in with it so it gets vitamin d and calcium
Yogurts have artificial flavouring that can and mayu be toxic to your pet. On top of that there are preservatives to make the goodie last. This too is no good for your golden gecko.
If you wish to provide some sort of "sweet"
go to your local grocer and purchase some mangos and peachs.
Grind this up into a pure and feed a table spoon to your pet.
No. The best yogurt in the world is real yogurt. One brand of real yogurt available in the U.S., (well, in New York, anyway) is Fage, which is from Greece. Even without anything added to it, it has a rich, luxurious taste that makes you think you must be sinning, even though it's quite healthful. Once you taste this yogurt, you'll wonder how on earth the idea of yogurt got so badly corrupted when it was introduced to the New World.
How long does it take a yogurt container to decompose?
depends: biodegradable ones may go faster, i think
plastic usually takes 15 years to decompose.............But, yes, if it is biodegradable, it will decompose faster...
If you incubated your homemade yogurt for twice the prescribed time can you still eat it?
Yes, it will just have a higher concentration of Lactobacilli bacteria. Put it in the fridge now. It will taste more sour than normal but it will be fine.
A type of bacteria called "Lactic acid bacteria" ferment milk sugars, lactose to produce lactic acid. Its PH is around 4-5 and therefore it is acidic. Depending on the age and bacteria activity of the yoghurt, the inoculated milk can acidify the sugars enough to coagulate the proteins , resulting into a custard-like curd.
