Let me guess, you had read that one probiotics study that was done on 15 healthy people that found no effect?
- avip 8y agoNo. Here's a recent research paper https://www.cell.com/cell/pdf/S0092-8674(18)31108-5.pdf https://www.cell.com/cell/pdf/S0092-8674(18)31108-5.pdf that will lull you to sleep. It's a good (n=1, randomized, LOOCV verified) sample.
- bufferoverflow 8y agoThat's the one "To this aim, we conducted a prospective longitudinal interventional study in 21 healthy human volunteers not consuming probiotics" Out of 21 they selected 15 for the study.
- avip 8y agoSo you don't appreciate the scientific rigour of this study? Good. That's the industry standard. Have we mentioned disclosing industry affiliations?
- bufferoverflow 8y agoSample size of 15 is not industry standard. There are probiotic studies with thousands of participants.
