Today, probiotics have not heard about except that lazy. However, few are aware that their ads are everywhere - no more than the active marketing of pharmaceutical companies. In fact, the benefits of probiotics is very little. But is it really? Let's investigate. Especially because in the medical community increasingly appears and actively discussed information that probiotics are not only useless, they are still dangerous!
What are the reasons to fear?
More about this later, but first let's take time and absorb all: prebiotics and probiotics - are two different things. The first contains the nutritional components of the microbiota, but the second - the actual class of microorganisms, as well as substances microbial or other origin.
If probiotics are useful, the intervention of probiotics in the human body is not so simple. It is evident that they are living organisms containing heterologous gene. And their penetration into our body has a certain impact. And quite strong, comparable to the action of drugs.
Short-sighted to underestimate the influence of "instill" microorganisms per person, whatever they may be. After all, our bodies - the whole symbiotic system in which the mass of the microbiota and parasites exceeds the number of actual "human" cells. And it would be naive to believe that all this is a colony of our needs. We - just tanks for their existence. And any uncontrolled shares, to our new "neighbors" is not safe!
Admission probiotics
Clinical studies conducted over the past few years, it is reliably proven that taking probiotics:
- after antibiotic therapy REDUCES regeneration own intestinal flora contributes to thinning of the mucus layer is mucin and increased intestinal permeability;
- can cause lactic acidosis, and as a result, dyspepsia and neurotoxicity (decrease nerve impulse, reaction rates, memory impairment);
- promotes (in many cases) the spread of infections in t h and heavy.
Generally, the microbiota and its role in human life - an area unexplored. But now all that has been studied extensively - and constantly reveals more and more relationships. It turned out that many of the psychological and emotional, as well as autoimmune and cardiovascular, pulmonary, and even cancer are often induced in humans it microbiota.
But while biologists with doctors versed in the indwelling microcosm, we must remember that the appointment of probiotics may only doctor. And only in the treatment, and not preventive purposes (except for surgery). It is necessary to avoid gratuitous reception of potent drugs.
