- loco5niner 1y agowithout knowing anything, that sounds more dangerous for an infant to me
- IAmBroom 1y agoProbiotics is basically a marketing term, and scientifically meaningless. So: no.
- 0xDEAFBEAD 1y agoCitation? I see studies testing the impact of various alleged-probiotic bacteria fairly frequently. What am I missing?
- Auracle 1y agoI wouldn't go as far as the commenter above but probiotic strains that we can actually produce are an absolutely tiny fraction of the bacteria that can exist in our gut. There's a reason fecal transplants are a thing, and it's not because they're fun for all involved.
