By now we hope you already know what makes frozen kefir so great. Need a quick refresher? Well,
our frozen kefir is:
- home to 10 live & active cultures
- high in protein and calcium
- made from all natural ingredients
- only 90 calories per serving
- gluten free
- 99% lactose free
But did you know eating frozen kefir might also prevent tooth decay?
A recent study conducted by The College of Dental Sciences and Research in Mullana suggests that children between the ages of 12-14 who consumed ice cream containing
Lactobacillus Acidophilus and
Bifidobacterium lactis (just two of 10 live and active cultures found in our frozen kefir) showed reduced levels of
mutans streptococci and
lactobacilli in their saliva than a control group consuming conventional ice cream.
Mutans streptococci and lactobacilli, FYI, are the bacteria most commonly associates with tooth decay and plaque.
While we don’t exactly recommend brushing your teeth with Tart & Tangy Strawberry quite yet, it’s just one more reason to give one of our newest good-for-you products a whirl!
Update: More good news! Researchers in Spain are now saying that probiotic milks and yogurts can help to combat gingivitis, bad breath and cavities. Check out the report
