Probiotic smackdown.

Apparently, the Europeans aren't as pro-probiotics as the rest of us. From the BBC:

General health claims for "probiotic" drinks and yogurts have been dismissed by a team of experts from the European Union.

Their opinions will now be voted on by an EU Committee which is drawing up a list of permitted health claims.

Scientists at the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) looked at 180 health claims for the supplements.

They rejected 10 claims and said a further 170 had not provided enough evidence of their effects.

I'm running out of funny probiotic quips, so I don't have much to add. I just wanted to keep you informed.
