Interesting reading to say the least.
I would ideally like more tests done, but the results are already promising.

I think the forum would be a lot more quiet!

3 tanks tested and 3 left as a control group is not very statistically significant. But, it is better than nothing at all. I will have to look into this product further in the future; I am curious what they do differently than everyone else.

must be stored at 3 - 4 degrees... how many retaillers and LFS will stock this and store it correctly and ensure that it has been stored and transported correctly?

not many, it'll be just another bottle of dead bacteria.

i'll put 50p on that it will never make the shelves.

i agree with KSTCH, and i have read many research articles regarding things like Yacult and live yogurts, the bacteria amounts are negligable when they are actually sold. The EU law only states that the bacteria amounts have within stated doses when leaving the factory, by the time they have been transported, left in a store room and then onto the fridge shelves, the amount of bacteria is a lot less than left the factory.

I'm gunna say 51p

Interesting. Shame the study was so small, and hasn't been replicated, but it's a start I suppose!

I agree though, likelihood of it being transported, stored and sold as recommended...?

We can but hope!
