Near Easter, a doctor diagnosed my mother, a 70-something retired school teacher, with Atrial fibrillation (AKA AFib). Since heart disease has a genetic component, and I’m getting no younger, I decided to clean-up my diet, which was better than most. I love veggies, fruits and fish, seldom eat processed food, etc. But after reading up on the Dash Diet, I added yogurt to my diet for probiotics.

And then I read I Contain Multitudes by Edward Yong. Yong sites research that revealed stomach acid kills most if not all of yogurt’s active bacterial cultures.So I fell for yogurt advertising BS. Hook, line and sinker.

Why is “eating well,” which should be easy, so difficult? Still, I like yogurt, probiotics or not.
