Yogurt aids allergy fight


LONDON - A daily probiotic drink, such as yogurt, may help keep hay fever away, researchers said yesterday.

A small study by the Institute of Food Research in Norwich, England, reported in the journal Clinical and Experimental Allergy, showed that probiotic, or "good," bacteria in a daily drink can change the immune system's response to grass pollen, a common cause of allergies, and balance antibodies in a way that may provide relief to people with hay fever.
