Big step forward for probiotics and brain health
Another headline stealing study in March came from researchers at Danone Research and UCLA.
Writing in Gastroenterology, the researchers reported that consumption of a fermented milk product with probiotics could alter brain activity in humans.
Commenting independently on the new study, Prof Glenn Gibson, a world-renowned expert in pre- and probiotics at the University of Reading in the UK, told NutraIngredients-USA: "There is evidence that the gut to brain axis exists, with positive and negative potential outcomes. However, modulating it like this is a big step forward."
