Regarding products enhanced with probiotics

It's hit or miss. Some people see a big difference after using probiotic products, some not at all," said Bob Greene, a nationally known nutritionist and creator of The Best Life Diet. He says the still-inconclusive research is why he has delayed endorsing any products enhanced with probiotics.

"Bottom line: It needs more research," Greene said.

At best, probiotics are harmless additions to a diet, improving one's digestive tract and general wellness. Some research shows they can improve the health of people dealing with diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome and urinary-tract infections.
