Found in live-culture foods such as yogurt, the microbes are also found in kombucha, a type of fermented Japanese tea, which has been gaining prominence in the bevvie aisle at Whole Foods.

But with renewed focus obesity-related diseases, anything we can do to help the guts do their thing is up for consideration. (CN)
