24. Umm digestive flora has nothing to do with formation of wbc's
including various forms of Immunoglobulins--which is what CAUSES allergies, along with histimines and such. Prebiotics make your digestion better but to say they are gonna keep you from having allergies...thats pretty outthere. And if you knew anything about the stuff you babble you would know that.
Sorry, eating yogurt isn't gonna prevent asthma and allergies..It has to do with immunology..in fact there is growing evidence that the over protective people who keep their very young children from being exposed to pathogens (including getting vaccinated) so they can develop the PROPER antibodies are more likely to have kids that develop allergies..well that and GENETICS...which again, eating yogurt (which is what probiotics are) does zip.
