Oflate there has been a flurry of articles and advertisements promoting probiotic products.
Probiotic yoghurt, ice cream....to list a few
Probiotic - primarily refers to products enriched with "friendly" (say useful) bacteria.
A recent article which got me thinking about this entire probiotic bizness :
"probiotic - harmful to the pancreas"
Explantion : usually the bacteria start acting on the food after it has already passed through the pancreas and into the intestine. However if these bacteria are already present in the food then they would act first on the pancreas itself leading to ulceration.
Do we really need probiotic products. Why cant we have simple, clean, fresh food and hope it goes down well with the system.
