[edit] Unnecessary to have links to all Yakult home pages?

Does anyone else agree that it may be slightly uneccessary to have links to all the yakult home pages for different countries?

You're right, it is unnecessary: I'll remove some! EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME 11:08, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rampant deletion

Someone from within Yakult company continues to delete cited information regarding efficacy of yakult. Is there some way to stop this from happening? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.42.178.91 (talk) 03:51, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

• if you have evidence that "Someone from within Yakult company" is deleting cited info, share it here

• Failing this, explain how rampant the deletion is, how often, and over what time period.

• People can then assess the situation and advise you further. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.150.150 (talk) 11:13, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't know about 'someone from Yakult', but someone from ip 210.167.139.253 keeps deleting referenced material without discussing it. The last change added an unsourced quote that makes yakult look good. 82.35.83.52 12:08, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

that IP (210.167.139.253) comes from within yakult company headquaters in Tokyo Japan. They are editing out criticism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.42.178.91 (talk) 23:40, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Efficacy of Yakult?

How much does Yakult work like it claims to be? I cannot see this clearly anywhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Genjix (talk • contribs) 00:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

The Yakult Europe website says: "It helps to maintain a healthy balance of the intestinal flora, important for good digestion." but does not substantiate this claim by citing peer-reviewed research. The "Research" pages of the website also make unproven claims. Use of Yakult also produces a detritus of little plastic bottles. Anyone got any recycling ideas? Vernon White ^{. . .

The little bottles are made of polystyrene, which the UK Yakult website says is re-cyclable. However, see WP article: Polystyrene#Standard_markings. Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 15:49, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
