Several times before I have mentioned that the best studied probiotic in the world is Visbiome (the new name for the formulation that used to go by the name VSL#3).

A controversy I have been following: what do we REALLY know about glyphosate (the chemical found in the herbicide, Roundup) and its effects on health.
