Digestive health is the basis of all good nutrition. Many foods promote digestive health through the consumption of live and active bacteria (that is, “pro-biotics”) in conjunction with pro-biotic-friendly (meaning “pre-biotic”) ingredients. This allows for secondary beneficial effects related to blood sugar control, reduced serum lipids, increases in intestinal microflora and other healthful benefits.
Certain dairy foods, such as refrigerated yogurts, have fit the growing demand. There is no reason why frozen dairy desserts such as ice cream, sherbet, sorbet, water ice, frozen yogurt and hybrid products cannot offer the same features and benefits to the very same market.
