FYI Folks:

"Probiotics Found to Help Your Gut`s Immune System

Probiotic bacteria, which are living microorganisms that have
beneficial effects on human health, have mostly been studied as
treatments for different gastrointestinal diseases and allergies.
However, not much is known about what kind of effects they have on the
immune system in healthy adults.

A new study shows that probiotics can modulate immune responses via
your gut's mucosal immune system.

It was found that probiotics have an anti-inflammatory potential. They
caused a decrease in serum CRP levels, and a reduction in the bacteria-
induced production of proinflammatory cytokines.
