Confused about probiotics?

Article Type: Food facts - January 2010 From: Nutrition & Food Science, Volume 40, Issue 2.

The health effects of probiotics have been applauded as “miraculous” 1 min and labelled with “misleading health claims” in another. Consumers are confused but a new scientific review by the British Nutrition Foundation, Probiotics and health – summing up the evidence, draws together complex probiotic research and shows accumulating evidence to support the health benefits of probiotics in some areas. The results of this review are a valuable tool for health professionals which will underpin consistent health advice. For further information see: www.nutrition.org.uk/nutritioninthenews/probiotics
