These live bacteria — especially in probiotic yogurts containing at least millions (106) of live
bacteria per gram — have the ability to take food sugars found inside our digestive tract (not only sugars directly contained in the yogurt but any sugars that are present in the digestive tract) and convert them into short chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

per gram [1,2,3].
