Yogurt May Halt Yeast Infections

A study conducted at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center has validated what has long been one of folk medicine's favorite treatments. Women who ate 8 ounces of yogurt a day for 6 months had fewer yeast infections than when the same women did not eat yogurt. It is thought that the yogurt culture, lactobacillus, which is also found in the vagina of healthy women, is responsible for this effect.
