A Footnote from Brad: In the last few weeks I have discovered a wonderful new yogurt! The ads are on TV and radio, but that is not why I chose to write about this new product here. The product name is ACTIVIA. It is a probiotic formulation. It is wonderful. I have definately noticed a difference as this has become a part of my diet on a regular basis. You can check out the nutritional science of this new product at www.activia.com or www.activia.ca .
