Summary
A report on probiotics. Probiotics are manufactured to replicate the bacteria we already have in our gut microbiome. Though recommended by some doctors, many scientists say the benefits are unproven and unclear. Includes interviews with Dr. Jeff Gordon, a researcher of the microbiome at Washington University in St. Louis; Dr. Patricia Hibberd, an infectious disease specialist and a professor of medicine at Boston University; Dr. Dan Merenstein, a professor of family medicine at Georgetown University; Eran Elinav and Eran Segal, professors at Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science; and Dr. Frank Greer, professor emeritus of pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin.
