Would eating a lot of yogurt before and during a trip to south asia be effective against food poisoning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food poisoning: No. Yogurt with active cultures keeps the intestines healthy but cannot fight off other bacteria that is foreign to your system. But the best prevention is to be very careful about what you eat and eat at reputable dining places and not from the street vendors.
