Positive proof that the healthy yoghurt drinks are taking over the planet, here’s a whole show dedicated to it, or at least sponsored by it. But inside you’ll find more than just people preaching the delights of imbibing affable bacteria - there will be exercise classes, pampering sessions and plenty of experts on hand to give you advice on health, beauty and well being.
