> Is there any evidence at all for the beneficial effect of bioactive dairy products on the gut microbiome, beyond yoghurt commercials for middle-aged women? 1) Considering that the original article is about autoimmune disease, it's possible that there is a critical time period during early age (<3-4 years) when it is important to consume a particular substance, and beyond which the substance is completely ineffective---i.e. marketing to middle-aged ladies is great because they have money to spend, but the fact that this marketing exists is besides the point. 2) It wasn't my goal to present a finding for which there is lots of available evidence, but rather the opposite---to suggest a possibly under-explored area.
