"So why is there an increasing focus on adding probiotics to the diet, whether through foods or specific products? Poor digestive health places a burden not only on an individual but on the health care system. The National Commission on Digestive Disorders in the U.S. reported in 2009 that 60 to 70 million Americans are affected each year by digestive diseases at a cost that exceeds $100 billion in direct medical expenses. Each year, an additional 105 million visits are made to physicians related to digestive diseases. If pre- and pro-biotics can help us reduce even a portion of these costs, they are worth serious consideration." m.huffpost/us/entry/3430788
