Activia, Actimel (etc etc)
 

Do you believe they do you some good? They get shoved in our faces on adverts day in day out, but did we die out before these 'yoghurts' came about?

I think it is a con, they had to take the claims off the ads saying that they helped you.

Complete muck. Your body becomes reliant on them so that when you stop using them your immune system is useless.

Everything you need to be healthy is in stuff like milk, water and fresh fruit and veg. All of this designer rubbish and the people who prance about on it annoy me.

Pisses me right off. Bloody scare tactics to make you buy overpriced yoghurts

Mind you, I suppose it pays a few past it/can't get any other work TV (so called) stars a couple of quid :sleep:

eww

Ive just eaten a sainsburys trifle

I used to drink one a day until I saw a programme proving that their claims were just a lot of bollocks!

Mind you, I still think they help if you are bothered with heartburn/indigestion

I sometimes drink them cos they're quite nice, not for any health reasons lol

I love the Activia yoghurts...the drinks are nice but pointless, really. Just make a smoothie.

yeah same Joe, I didn't find that I felt any better though afterwards

I went through a phase of drinking these. Moreso because they taste nice than anything else :laugh:

I did feel more 'alive'...though that was probably psychological rather than actual health benefits :p

I heard there is a lot of sugar and sh!t in them.. lol

I don't think they are good to have everyday.

Fruit smoothies are not always particularly healthy. They are more healthy if you make once yourself from scratch. I heard if you drink a smoothie everyday you meant to put on a bit of weight at the end of the year.

I used to love my Nans banana milkshakes. Just straight milk and banana blended. I keep meaning to buy a blender simply for that reason and make them myself

My brother once went through a phase of making strawberry smoothies. I loved that time :love:

Sounds lovely. I so love strawbs :love:

I could live on strawberries.

Well, I practically do in summer. Strawberries and pea pods :joker:

Used to have that Yakult all the time, they're the best tasting things out I swear, not really cus they're supposed to be healthy though :love:

Haha I used to go down to the fruit shop as a kid and buy peapods instead of sweets!

I did that, my mates thought I was weird for it :sad:

I want strawberries now. I only have strawberry laces :joker:

I know...contemplating going to the shop :laugh:

Actually they probably wont have any anyways. Or if they do they will be really old and nearly mouldy :bored:

They'd be really expensive too as they'd be imported at this time of year

We used to have Benecol (I think) those little drink pot things, idk if they ever did me any good, but they sure tasted nice :love:
