It's beneficial bacteria, not bad bacteria, so it won't eat me, unless someone puts some of that flesh eating bacteria in there, but I've never heard of that being used to make yogurt, so I'm not too worried.
It is beneficial bacteria that healthy people have it in their guts anyway. I heard from a diet counselor that the amount of living bacteria is negligent even in the pro-biotic products. There are pills with much higher concentration, but normally no one needs them.

It covers up the nasty mayo taste and tastes great with the potatoes. Most grocery stores around here sell it as "mustard potato salad" but if it has too much mayo taste in it, I don't like it.

Edit: I've heard there are some versions with no mayo, I'd like to try those.

To me that does not sound right

What kind of tomato juice does Chaim drink that would be considered healthy?  I have seen V8 type drinks but there is so much sodium in there, it is really bad for you.  Is there a healthy kind?


One a day if you have a low sodium diet is fine...i woudl simply say, don't go heavy on the tomato juice each day.

i'm sure there are low sodium tomato juices out there...might not be as tastey...those that would be, would be high in sugar...


you keep making it sound like juice from tomatos are high in salt or sodium.  When you say tomato juice.

i'm sure you only mean cartons have this high salt. And tomatos don't , right? if so, then you are misleading.



The tomato juice that chaim was drinking most likely had lots of sodium on it..even compared to the one that pheasant should a picture of.

Tomatos alone don't have any sodium...That's like a, "Duh, assumption."  Why do you think I recommended rather than drinking from a carton that people make a tomato cucumber smoothie with some lime or lemon juice and a  little salt and cayanne pepper?

If someone wishes to drink lots of tomato juice from a carton, they need to look at the sodium content before they do so...Almost always the sodium is very high..and I can tell you that if it were really low, it might taste pretty awful..so if one goes for the more delicious one, he shoudl only have one a day and not go crazy thinking if they have 5 they will live a few extra years...




cartoned tomato juice would be a good expression for what you are referring to then.
Rather than just tomato juice.

if you just say tomato juice, it looks like a general expression, and not specifically "the tomato juice that chaim was drinking", which is what you were referring to.


If you say tomato juice is salty, people might think you are referring to any tomato juice, and they will think about hte one they do, which might be tomatos in a blender.

You know bananas can be quite sweet..  Avocados quite high in fat.  Fruits can have their issues.

And you even said tomato juice was bad for being high in sodium, which was even more likely to mislead people. People might think sodium is a bad chemical found in tomatos.

If someone says something bad about you, say something nice about them. That way, both of you would be lying.

Jews lived in "arab" lands Before Arabs.

And, according to something I heard from brigitte gabriel, even Lebanese Christians not long ago (and perhaps some today) didn't even consider themselves arab. They were here before them and retained their culture - able to speak aramaic I think.
