Brazilian food scientists have invented probiotic ice cream. The product apparently looks and tastes like ice cream, but supposedly replaces unhealthy bacteria in your intestines with friendlier types.
But be careful -- freezing will likely kill off most of those friendly bacteria. Frozen yogurt, for example, has fewer probiotic bacteria than regular yogurt.
When this reaches the market, it’s likely that the manufacturers will advertise the number of bacteria they put into the ice cream, but won’t say a word about how few survived freezing and storage.
