<p><a title="Vancouver IBS Cure" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 12px;" src="http://image.listpipe.com/xocai-biotic-chocolate.jpg" alt="Delta Probiotics for Lactose Intolerant" align="right" /></a> People in Delta may be amazed, but it&#8217;s true that our gastrointestinal tract is home to hundreds of different types of bacteria, each of which is constantly trying to divide and conquer.</p>
<p>The &#8216;good&#8217; bacteria help us absorb nutrients from the food we eat. The &#8216;bad&#8217; bacteria trigger a variety of intestinal miseries like constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, heartburn, stomach ulcers and <strong>Irritable Bowel Syndrome</strong> (IBS).</p>
<p><a title="IBS" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irritable_bowel_syndrome" target="_blank">IBS</a> is a common ailment among Richmond women and men and a leading cause of workplace absenteeism.</p>
<p>Bacterial imbalances in Vancouver adults are also linked to conditions such as allergies, depression, fibromyalgia, and chronic yeast infections.</p>
<p><a title="Delta BC Probiotics" href="http://philhoskins.com/more-about-xocai" target="_blank">Probiotics</a> are the key to a healthy GI tract for Delta people concerned about intestinal health. Probiotics are &#8216;good&#8217; bacteria that are able to survive the stomach acids and bile salts on their way to the intestines where they can grow and devour the &#8216;bad&#8217; bacteria. There are relatively few foods that can successfully deliver probiotics to the intestines; aged cheeses, live-culture yogurt, kefir (a beverage consisting of fermented milk and kefir grains), and miso are some of them.</p>
<p>MXI Corp, producers of Delta Xocai chocolate have developed the most effective probiotic delivery system; Xocai healthy chocolate. An 11 gram <a title="Delta BC Xocai XoBiotic Square" href="http://philhoskins.com/more-about-xocai" target="_blank">Xocai XoBiotic Square</a> delivers one billion friendly microorganisms to the GI tract.</p>
<p><strong>Xocai XoBiotic Squares are one of the only probiotic foods that can be eaten by Surrey people who suffer from lactose intolerance.</strong></p>
<p>Many Richmond people who have started eating Xocai XoBiotic Squares not only have noticed improvement in their digestion, they feel more energetic and seem to be more resistant to catching colds.</p>
<p>I am Delta Xocai distributor Phil Hoskins. If you are suffering from health problems that have eluded diagnosis and successful treatment, I suggest you try Xocai XoBiotic Squares. Xocai XoBiotic Squares the most delicious way to maintain GI health. To order Xocai XoBiotic Squares or any other Xocai antioxidant chocolate product, call 604.943.8598.</p>
<p>All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them &#8212; Walt Disney!</p>

<p class="main" style="margin: auto 0in; line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://chocolatesuccessteam.com" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-61" title="XoBiotic" src="http://philhoskins.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/080-xobiotic.png" alt="XoBiotic" width="140" height="71" /></a>There are <a href="http://http//chocolatesuccessteam.com"></a>many natural functional foods in virtually every food group. As we all know, chocolate itself is a functional food if it contains sufficient antioxidants and flavonoids. However, it is now possible for manufacturers to create functional foods by fortifying and enhancing their products to give them added health benefits never before possible. A new growing segment of functional food is called “probiotics.&#8221;</span></span></p>
<p class="main" style="margin: auto 0in; line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Probiotic means “fit for life”, or “pro life.&#8221; Probiotics are living microorganisms which when administered effectively in adequate amounts confer health benefits. The adult intestinal tract is home to approximately 100 trillion microorganisms. More than 400 different bacterial species have already been identified in the intestinal tract.</span></span></p>
<p class="main" style="margin: auto 0in; line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: medium;">First, in order to be effective probiotics must contain bacteria which are resistant to stomach acids and bile salts. Secondly, the bacteria must have the capacity to compete successfully with the indigenous intestinal bacteria. So, either the bacteria must be protected by the use of encapsulation techniques, or new types of foods must be developed which offer increased protection for the bacteria. The key to the effectiveness of probiotic treatment is for the bacteria to be able to pass through the stomach and the small intestines reaching the large intestines with sufficient strength to colonize and flourish.</span></span></p>
<p class="main" style="margin: auto 0in; line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: medium;">SHIME stands for “The Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem.&#8221; This in vitro system was created to simulate the activities and conditions found in the stomach, small intestines, and large intestines. This enables scientists to monitor the quantity of bacteria that survive the journey to the large intestines. And, it also enables them to monitor the development of the bacterial colonies in the large intestines.</span></span></p>
<p class="main" style="margin: auto 0in; line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: medium;">According to the American College of Gastroenterology, 95 million Americans suffer from digestive problems. Some 60 million have heartburn, 50 million have irritable bowel syndrome, and 20 million suffer from stomach ulcers. </span></span></p>
<p class="main" style="margin: auto 0in; line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Many, many new probiotic products have been launched in North America and Europe. But, we have a distinct advantage. Chocolate appears to be the ideal delivery system for probiotics. Dark chocolate has been shown to be far superior to milk as a delivery system for Probiotics.</span></span></p>
<p class="main" style="margin: auto 0in; line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Xoçai™ XoBiotic™ chocolate is an 11-gram square and delivers 1 billion microorganisms of two types— Lactobacillus Helveticus R0052 and Bifido Bacterium Longum R0175. These probiotics have been selected for our probiotic chocolate because of their stability in chocolate and their guaranteed shelf life equal to the shelf life of the chocolate itself, if properly stored as recommended for all Xoçai™ products (40<sup>o</sup>F – 75<sup>o</sup>F). Tthe health benefits of dark chocolate with those of these two probiotic cultures have a positive influence on immune and gut health for health-conscious consumers. </span></span></p>
<p class="main" style="margin: auto 0in; line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Presently there are no approved health claims on probiotics in the US, until now!</span></span></p>
