yakult image
Please excuse me if I infringe protocol. My last contribution was about 15 years ago. Why is the leading image pretty well a marketing banner for Yakult? I would post up an image of some delicious fermented food such as brie or kimchi. And Yakult is loaded with sugar! Can someone find a replacement..I am still figuring out how not to make a mess... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kim99 (talk • contribs) 14:51, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Yakult is probably the leading commercial probiotic product globally, and what most people think of when they hear the term. They certainly don't think of brie, which may not be sweetened but is very high in saturated fat. Some versions of Yakult are not heavily sugared. --Ef80 (talk) 13:05, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Cholesterol
The cholesterol section cites a fairly recent and decent meta-analysis which found probiotics reduced LDL chloresterol by 5%. I don't think that's an insignificant reduction. Andrew ranfurly (talk) 19:48, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
- Yikes the source is over 20 years old!! Should probably be updated with PMID 33612379 if anyone has access. Alexbrn (talk) 20:17, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
List of fermented foods
The paragraph that contains a list of foods made with fermenting bacteria: I would like to delete this paragraph on the grounds that it is misleading and somewhat off topic. While these food products are indeed created with LABs, few of them contain LIVE bacteria, which is part of the definition of probiotic. Baking sourdough, for example, kills the bacteria. Commercial versions of many of these foods have no live bacteria in order to improve shelf-life. 68.99.51.121 (talk) 17:52, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Dosage
I have started a paragraph on dosage, but a lot more can be added there. BlueBellTree (talk) 05:15, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
