Dannon sued over yogurt claims

I'm not usually a sucker for advertising, but the cold and flu season has hit my family hard this month. Looking to boost our immunity after three weeks of colds, fevers, stomach flus, and nasty coughs, I picked up a couple packs of DanActive, along with every fruit and vegetable I could stuff in my cart. I had no idea if it would work, but I figured it couldn't hurt.

A recent class action lawsuit makes me wonder if I wouldn't have been better off just buying the less expensive store brand yogurt instead. Critics say that the makers of DanActive and Activa (who claim their product will regulate the digestive system) have wildly exaggerated the clinically proven health benefits of their product. Dannon, who makes both yogurts, stands by their products.

The bottom line is that yogurt is good for you. But can it improve your immunity and cure your digestive complaints? The answer to that remains to be seen...
