“This product is a food and not a treatment for any medical condition” written on the side of my yogurt.

    1. They are wrong.. every time I feel a bit depressed and unhappy with my life, this medicine with some fresh cut fruit in it always makes it considerably better!

    2. This is likely related to any probiotic type health claim made on the yogurt since it presumably has active cultures. Even if it does not specifically say it is probiotic, it may make some sort of health claim on the container regardless. (The alternative would be the company selling it is just really cautious, although if there are no health claims on the container or mention of being probiotic them feeling the need to put that disclaimer down would be surprising.)

      I had a friend in college whose roommate used her yogurt to treat yeast infections. We talked about it with another friend who studied biology, and she was fairly confident that that couldn’t actually work that way

      Yogurt is sometimes used as a cooling remedy for sunburns so maybe that’s what they mean?

    5. Is being sad a medical condition? Because for Terry, eating yoghurt treats all sadness. Terry loves yoghurt!
