Probiotics, which have increased in demand in the past decade, can prevent or treat some diseases in humans and in animals, Science Daily says.

Researchers tested the feces of 34 infants and said they did so because they are unaffected by diseases associated with aging. Read more about the study here. // <\/s'+'cript>'); // --> //]]> From ICE
