Here’s some food for thought: It is possible to make yogurt using bacteria from a woman’s vagina, but it’s probably not a good idea.
Last August, Cecilia Westbrook, an MD/PhD student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, decided to see if the stomach-churning idea was feasible, according to VICE.

Westbrook was pleased enough with the taste of the yogurt to eat a second bowl, and hasn’t suffered any ill effects. Still, her experiment left a bad taste in the mouths of food safety experts.
Theresa Eisenman, press officer at the U.S. Federal Drug Administration’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, told VICE that “vaginal secretions are not considered ‘food’, and they may transmit human disease, a food product that contains vaginal secretions or other bodily fluids is considered adulterated.”
