Please excuse me if I infringe protocol. My last contribution was about 15 years ago. Why is the leading image pretty well a marketing banner for Yakult? I would post up an image of some delicious fermented food such as brie or kimchi. And Yakult is loaded with sugar! Can someone find a replacement..I am still figuring out how not to make a mess... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kim99 ( talk • contribs) 14:51, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
--- 'No good evidence shows that probiotics are effective in preventing or treating allergies.[77]' -- the reference is about prebiotics-- not the same. There is a meta-analysis of probiotics: "reduces the risk of atopic sensitization and decreases the total IgE level in children but may not reduce the risk of asthma/wheeze." - I'll fix it.

The cholesterol section cites a fairly recent and decent meta-analysis which found probiotics reduced LDL chloresterol by 5%. I don't think that's an insignificant reduction. Andrew ranfurly ( talk) 19:48, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
The paragraph that contains a list of foods made with fermenting bacteria: I would like to delete this paragraph on the grounds that it is misleading and somewhat off topic. While these food products are indeed created with LABs, few of them contain LIVE bacteria, which is part of the definition of probiotic. Baking sourdough, for example, kills the bacteria. Commercial versions of many of these foods have no live bacteria in order to improve shelf-life. 68.99.51.121 ( talk) 17:52, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
