Probiotics Are Useless, GMOs Are Fine, and Gluten Is Necessary | Motherboard
"A roster of nutrition-myth-busting studies were published this week."

Gwendolyn 8yr We've been discussing the GMO aspect, and I think most people agree at this point that unless you are sensitive to gluten you should eat it, but probiotics??? It's hard for me to believe that they don't do anything. I definitely notice a difference when eating yogurt and Kombucha. @darkchocolatepeanutbutter what are your thoughts?

annefood 8yr I agree- I don't take a probiotic supplement but I do drink a lot of Kombucha and eat yogurt! -
darkchocolatepeanutbutter 8yr @Gwendolyn Probiotics are a natural part of the gut system so they're not useless. Yogurt drinks and biscuits probably have small amounts of probiotic activity so that might have influenced the study's results. Foods like kimchi and sauerkraut come with other nutrients like B12 and vitamin C. They don't promise optimal health but I don't think probiotics should be dismissed so easily. -
Gwendolyn 8yr Thanks @darkchocolatepeanutbutter ! Good to know!
