That's a very good point. It's awfully similar, though hopefully the lean-bacteria won't have as many bad side-effects :)

- xionon 13y agoIt's not similar at all. Your body already has several pounds worth of bacteria in it. Hopefully, your body has zero tapeworms. This is talking about bacteria already in a healthy person's body.
- Groxx 13y agotapeworm vs bacteria, parasite vs parasite, symbiotic or otherwise. and you have plenty of other parasites. edit: maybe a simpler example. Try to describe why tapeworms are different from bacteria, without using "multicellular". both can cause harm. both eat your food. both can result in weight loss.

That's why you take a pro-biotic after going through a round of anti-biotics - you need to re-grow your gut flora to aid in proper digestion.
