Consumer Reports article       01/25/06 03:06 PM Edit Reply Quote Sand Reged: 12/13/04 Posts: 4490 Loc: West Orange, NJ (IBS-D) The entire Consumer Reports article is only available to subscribers. Your local library should carry Consumer Reports - the article was in the July 2005 issue. Here's the summary on the CR Website. I have to agree with Maria and Beth about Consumer Reports. Their review is not a case of people being asked what they think about a probiotic. As I understand it, CR either tests in their own labs or has independent labs test products they are evaluating. I don't personally recall any type of scandal associated with CR's testing and evaluations. Even assuming CR found that Primal Defense does not contain as many CFU as labelled, it doesn't change the fact the Primal Defense works for you and, presumably, for other people. It simply means that probiotics exist in a gray area, where standards and dosages haven't yet been established by long-term scientific studies. -------------------- [Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate. - Sandra Boynton] Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
