We all need a reasonable amount of intestinal
bacteria to aid digestion and maintain good health. An absence
or low levels of such bacteria results in health problems such
as diarrhoea, inflammation, ulceration and development of
cancer.
The concept of probiotics is to consume beneficial bacteria as a
food supplement. In this talk sponsored by
Yakult,
Associate Professor
Lee
Yuan Kun from the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of
Medicine, National University of Singapore presents facts on
bacterial strains with clinically proven probiotic effects. He
will also address questions such as why not all lactic acid
bacteria are probiotcs and how one can best take advantage of
probiotic food supplement.
