TCBY The Country's Best Yogurt

Sprinklers, pool, shorts and frozen yogurt… not ice cream?! Why? The health benefits of frozen yogurt far benefit that of ice cream. But you say, the taste, yogurt flavor is bland, and unsatisfying; true statement if it was 1960. But here in the millennium, the yogurt companies are pushing health while satisfying your taste buds. As the number 1 brand of soft serve frozen yogurt and the company that has been on the tongues of US consumers since 1981, TCBY, has nailed the satisfaction of your personal trainer, nutritionist and taste buds. The company employs top scientists of their field and Dr. Wayne Geilman, 40 year veteran to food science, and he makes sure the process is correct along the National Yogurt Association as well as FDA. The law in California is very strict on how yogurt is labeled. If the yogurt doesn’t meet certain requirements, it must be called a Frozen Treat. Buyers beware, there are companies out there that do not follow this procedure and The National Yogurt Association does not monitor yogurts and frozen yogurts but they have created a voluntary label: Live and Active Cultures seal. To be able to advertise this, yogurt companies must submit their lab analysis that verifies the culture levels; it has to have at least 10 million cultures per gram. TCBY has 7 probiotics and 20 billion, 25 times more than the minimal requirement of good-belly bacteria (probiotics) cells per one serving which is ½ cup or a kids small cup. Probiotics are used to work on non-digestible fibers that sit in the colon. These non-digestible fibers, if not eliminated can cause flatulence and weight gain. This probiotic fiber contained in TCBY is equivalent to one medium apple or a bowl of oatmeal. Deena Kastor, the Olympic marathon runner and one of my inspirations, in China took one step and a hair line fracture inhibited her from taking another step. The doctors concluded her vitamin D levels were too low. “Hey Deena, Go to TCBY!” TCBY has their yogurt fortified Vitamin D at 20%, milk is an excellent source of calcium and in order for the body to digest properly, its best consumed as yogurt. TCBY decided since the combination of active cultures, milk, proteins, and calcium helps with weight management, combined with Vitamin D and fiber it dramatically increased those results; thus they increased the levels. To provide nutrients not only to the belly, Vitamin D is added to increase absorption for calcium to provide better bone health. If you are worried about sugar, TCBY does not add sugar. Milk has 6% in lactose sugar and to get rid of that you have to use a highly processed product, sugar alcohol so it helps freeze properly. The sugar process, TCBY has nailed down perfectly so those who are lactose intolerant can now tolerate yogurt. The toppings on the bar are all natural and have incredible health benefits. The actor, Jeffery Donovan, aka Michael Weston from Burn Notice will stay beautifully young because the amount of yogurt he consumes per episode. If you do not like to age, consider Mr. Donovan’s diet. In the 1900’s, Russian scientist Metchnikoff first observed the beneficial role that certain bacteria played, putrefactive bacteria which are microbes that break down protein into toxic substances in the gut. The toxic substances, ammonia, indols and phenolic compounds create what he called, “intestinal auto-intoxication” and caused the physical changes associated with old age. Some flavors of TCBY are dynamically interesting as to ‘How they do that?’, the puzzling mysterious flavors of Cheesecake, Red Velvet Cake, Wedding Cake makes by 1000 abdominal exercises easier to handle. Because who wants to go to the gym and then say to themselves, you can’t treat yourself? Be young again with TCBY, literally. You remember going, well you can still live the glory days again and again. Plus, it’s something that you don’t have to treat yourself just once a week to like ice cream. Come on, for crying out loud- Live a little!
