Dear all,
one of the Italian newspapers asked me to write a news report based on the
review published in the last issue of Nutrition Bullettin about the
evidence of efficacy of probiotics. The article seems to be substantially
sensible, but it was supported by Danone. In the British Nutrition
Foundation’s website (the Bullettin’s owner), I read that they have a
Scientific Committee formed mostly of academics, but also an Industrial
Scientists Committee with people from Pepsi, Danone and Nestlé etc. I am
very uncertain about this review, because I don’t know the trustworthiness
of the British Nutrition Foundation’s. Any suggestion, especially by people
from UK? Thank you for your help. Regards,
Danilo di Diodoro
