The experiments have demonstrated conclusively that both, lactose 

 and dextrin, when administered in 300 gram quantities or more daily, 

 exert a most profound influence on the character of the intestinal flora, 

 transforming the latter from the ordinary mixed type to one dominated 

 by B. acidophilus.
