Is it true that the bacteria in yogurt cannot survive stomach acid?

There is only one product, all-natural Optiflora, and it is patented, that guarantees that the microflora reach your intestines live (500 million of them). It's a triple encapsulation of natural ingredients that are used to protect microflora until they are released in the intestines. This process protects the microflora during storage, shipping and the acidic journey through your stomach. The statement on products such as yogurt are only telling you that the microflora was live at the time of manufacture - not that they will reach your intestines live.
