You may want to rethink your intake of probiotics after hearing their potential harms.
In hopes for good health, people have been ingesting living micro-organisms in food, capsules, and even beauty products. Probiotics have the potential to improve health, the problem is that the proven benefits have a small number of conditions. Probiotics are less regulated than drugs and they don’t need to be proved effective to be marketed.
From two thousand sixteen to two thousand seventeen, the F.D.A. inspected more than six hundred and fifty facilities and determined that fifty percent had violations. Some of the violations included issues with the purity, strength and even the identity of the promised product. Probiotic supplements have also been found to be contaminated with organisms that are not supposed to be there.
I like the lead, Lauren, but the information after that is kind of confusing. Follow the lead directly with WHAT the dangers are. It’s not the probiotics that could cause harm, it’s the manufacturing process.
So introduce regulation early, then come back to it at the end.
