Text 1: Biologist Park argues that probiotic foods can improve digestive health in some patients. Yogurt and fermented vegetables, for example, have been shown in clinical trials to reduce symptoms of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
Text 2: Biologist Singh accepts these specific findings but cautions against the broader claims promoted by the wellness industry. Most over-the-counter probiotic supplements, she notes, have not been shown to colonize the gut, deliver living bacteria reliably, or affect general "wellness." Targeted use in narrow conditions is supported; the general probiotic mythology is not.
Both authors would most likely agree that
- A
all probiotic claims are equally well-supported by evidence.
- B
yogurt is harmful to digestive health.
- Ccheck_circle
some probiotic interventions have measurable benefits in specific conditions.
- D
no probiotic has any health effect.
