"Germs That Cure?" by Michael Mason
July/August 1999, pages 62-66
Summary: Good bacteria have health promoting benefits if you get enough of them. Two scientists, Drs. Gorbach and Goldin examined thousands of good bacteria samples and found one called Lactobacillus GG that has the ability to prosper in the digestive tract and outlive other varieties. Studies have shown other strains don't survive long in the body, even when taken in pill form. The best-researched probiotic to date, the L.GG in Culturelle does seem to alleviate or prevent certain intestinal problems.

"Good Bacteria: The Latest Research on Probiotics" by Catherine Aman
November/December 1998, pages 40-45 & 95
Summary: Not all bacteria are bad guys. Billions grow on our skin and in our mouths and intestines, helping us digest food & protecting us from infections. The idea of harnessing these "good bacteria" for health is not something new. There are over 200 species of bacteria in the human intestines and this flora is acquired within the first few days of birth. Lactobacillus acidophilus is the most common probiotic supplement, though few clinical studies have been done. Research on acidophilus is mixed. Although it has been found to survive stomach acid and bile better than L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus, it's not particularly good at sticking to and colonizing the walls of the intestines. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG is a subspecies of Lactobacillus casei, a traditional culture found in provolone and parmesan cheese. This strain was isolated as the ideal probiotic, which means it can withstand stomach acid and also firmly latch on to the walls of the colon.

Gastro-Intestinal Health
In the human digestive system, Lactobacillus GG has been shown to resist gastric acid and bile, adhere to mucosa of human intestine, colonize the human gastrointestinal tract regardless of individual's health status, and produce an antimicrobial substance with activity against potential pathogens such as E. coli, streptococci, Clostridium species, and Salmonella species (Gorbach, S. L., 1996)
