Yakult Light (More Health Care)

We visited Hong Kong Yakult Co. Ltd. on 7 November 2008. At that time, one of questions we asked was “How much sugar in each bottle?” The answer was about 14g. We asked why don’t Yakult to produce low sugar content product? They replied that they had already produced in Japan. Until now, we can buy “Yakult Light” and it claims ~40% less calories than regular Yakult.
(One gram of sugar, like that of any other carbohydrate, provides 4 calories in a person's daily diet.)

Moreover, one of company souvenirs was the book entitled “How the lactic acid bacteria in your daily diet may inhibit cancer?” I summarized part of the book into my blog named “Cancer Prevention and Intestinal Bacteria” (See reference).

My wife bought the Yakult Light with the Yakult Boy (Toys) during International Conference & Exhibition of the Modernization of Chinese Medicine & Health Products (國際現代化中醫藥及健康產品展覽會暨會議) (13 August 2010).
