Learn how to spell before you write an article.
- Actually, "yoghurt" is the correct spelling in some countries. As you'll notice once you've been here longer, Wikipedia uses both British Commonwealth and American spelling. The rule is that each article should be consistent, and should stick with the form of English used by the original author unless the subject is exclusively related to Britain or the United States. --Srleffler 01:46, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
P.S. Same deal with the manufacturer's name. It's Danone in Europe, and Dannon in the U.S.

I erased the part that said that multinational corporations use junk science to deceive consumers in underdeveloped countries - clearly not neutral POV. The dubiousness of this whole probiotic yogurt thing is clear in all the linked articles and in this one itself.

[edit] Organism vs. Product
This article is about an organism, a dietary supplement, and a gut microflora. It is not about a product or brand by a multinational corporation. Although this aspect will remain as a controversial aspect of this organism, in the next week or so I will be making a massive overhaul to the structure. Assistance or opinions are welcomed. --Mercola over Merck 19:47, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Benefits?
The article refers to papers highlighting the benefits of the bacterium, but the article does not describe what any of these benefits are. — Swpbtalk.edits 02:28, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- I see a list of references about benefits. I added an expansion request to it so that hopefully someone will summarize these benefits. Darthveda (talk) 15:10, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
