I drank kefir for a good portion of my life. The yogurt I eat has active cultures and says do on the side. It is different then the the dessert type yogurts which I am not so sure about their nutritional values and besides most commercial yogurt has geletan in it which is a meat product. But I believe kefir has some of the same ingredients as yogurt. Especially these live cultures. The yogurt I usually buy called Chobani and says right on the side in bold letters; active ingredients.

I was very attracted to kefir when I was sick for a long period and it sold in the stores for as low as $2.75 a quart.
It was always in the refrigerator at the time. I think it is not by coincidence that we are attracted to certain foods that are helpful for us if we can some what transcend our desire nature. Otherwise people will eat only what they desire which is a good plan for disease and illness. If you use are wisdom and make an effort to know the benefits of good food we are drawn to them and encouraged through friends to eat a healthy diet. Mccoy I plan on seeing if the freeze-dried bacterial mixes you mentioned for making our own kefir are available in the area I live. I must have wore myself out on kefir. However I have made my own yogurt for years so perhaps I could do the same with kefir. It is also expensive compared to milk which you can get for  $1.99 a gallon at stores in Midwest U.S. where dairy farms are plentiful.
