Are you asking if they would cause you to consume more dairy?

- ex. How do I change oil

I was essentially asking whether any neurological influences from those species in your gut would cause more consumption of dairy in general, or just yogurt, or neither
It's a very cool field, and it wouldn't surprise me if it was happening. I didn't find any studies specific to dairy or yogurt causing increased dairy consumption (from my quick search) but it might be out there

This one has a lot of the keywords you can start with. I haven't read it all, but searching for "lactobacillus" should get you to some additional articles
Not sure about increasing dairy consumption, but some strains can increase your histamin levels while others decrease it.
Did you mean digestion?
I meant intent to consume, as a sort of mental byproduct of which species of gut bacteria exist in a given person.
Oh, i see. Well that's a very new field of science. No idea, but I understand they usually don't have that precise control. More like slight influence of feelings.
