Uses for yogurt

This seems like a good time to mention that yogurt is good for preventing or minimizing most kinds of food poisoning. With the major exception of botulism (which must have medical attention), most kinds of food poisoning involve bacteria that cause stomach pain and loose bowels. Some also cause vomiting. Yogurt contains "good" bacteria that populate your digestive tract, and compete with bad bacteria. They also compete with yeast, preventing yeast from growing out of control and keeping yeast at a healthy level.
