While I was taking Tamiflu, I was advised by my doctor that in case I have difficulty swallowing the capsules, then taking the powder from inside the capsule in a spoon with something such as apple sauce or chocolate syrup is fine. However one of the side-effects of Tamiflu is nausea/vomitting and so I was advised to eat a little while before taking the medication to lessen the likelihood of this. I hope this is some help!

What ingredients are in yogurt?

MilkMilk is by far the most necessary ingredient in yogurt. Whether it is nonfat, low fat or whole, homogenized or non-homogenized, milk is needed to produce a high-quality yogurt. For the most natural yogurt, using organic and local varieties provides a more desirable product. Commercial yogurt uses ultra-pasteurization, which requires extreme heat followed by rapid cooling, according to Milk Facts, a publication of Cornell University. This lengthens the shelf life but does sacrifice taste and consistency. In some instances, whey milk may be added to achieve a desired texture and add firmness to the yogurt. Starter CultureA starter culture is usually added to the yogurt to initiate the culture process. Using a starter culture is the most traditional way to make yogurt: a small amount of pre-made yogurt is added to the milk. Common yogurt probiotics include Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Streptococcus thermophilus and bifidobacterium, according to MayoClinic.com. Starter cultures are added after pasteurization and cooling to ensure they remain active. Usually the temperature during pasteurization is around 185 degrees Fahrenheit, and it must cool to around 108 degrees before the starter is added. Flavoring AgentsFlavoring agents are not really necessary, as many yogurt lovers enjoy plain yogurt. You can, however, add a variety of fruits or honey or flavor extracts like vanilla, orange or lemon. Many commercial yogurts add sugar and preservatives to increase the shelf life of the product. Low-fat and nonfat varieties may have added artificial flavorings like aspartame in lieu of sugar.

Why are people with lactose intolerance eat yogurt?

Yogurt is made by adding a bacterial culture that eats lactose, excreting lactic acid. With the lactose already removed, the yogurt is fully digestible by lactose intolerant people with no bad reactions. The lactic acid simply makes it taste sour and that is usually covered over with fruit if you don't like it.

What is the healthiest yogurt to buy?

The healthiest yoghurt is an organic, non fat, low sugar and none containing no cholestrol(they are out there!)If it conatins live cultures, it is even better.

Try Stonyfield Organic yogurt, since it's USDA Organic, the fruit in it has 30% more antioxidants than non-organic fruit. It also contains 6 live cultures(probiotics/good bacteria)-S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. acidophilus, Bifidus, L. casei, and L. rhamnosus.

And they don't use antibiotics, synthetic growth hormones, or pesticides in their yogurt, they guarantee it. But, the downside is that it has 20 g of organic sugar in it, but whatever.....it's not really that sweet anyways......a lot of the sugar stays on the bottom of the yogurt unless you stir it really well(you have to stir the yogurt before serving)

It also has a lot of calcium and vitamin D in it :) Also by eating it daily, you cut your chance of catching a cold in HALF.
