Stone-forming patients can safely drink yogurt. Its benefits include: Stimulates gastric-juice secretion, improving appetite and digestion. Lactic-acid bacteria lower levels of certain carcinogens, giving anti-cancer potential. Suppresses putrefactive bacteria and the toxins they produce in the gut. Helps reduce blood cholesterol, valuable for people with hyperlipidaemia. Stone patients should also eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit, get adequate rest, and limit spicy, greasy or otherwise irritating foods.
