<div><strong>Probiotics are a big and rapidly growing business, with annual global sales of products expected to rise to $42 billion by 2016.</strong></div>
<div>The term probiotic refers to dietary supplements (tablets, capsules, powders, lozenges and gums) and foods (such as yogurt and other fermented products) that contain “beneficial” or “friendly” bacteria, as well as to the organisms themselves. They are promoted to improve digestion, strengthen immunity, help in weight loss and even protect against periodontal disease, among other proposed benefits, as well as for general health.</div>
<div>But will the friendly bacteria in these supplements and foods really help keep you healthy?</div>
