[Academic Survey] Probiotic Food and Supplements

[aelini]

EDIT: Survey is now closed. Thank you so so much to everyone who helped out!

Hey Fitbit Community!

I'm running a small survey study for my graduate research class about eating probiotic foods and taking probiotic supplements.
The aim of the research is to examine their relationship with musculoskeletal health (muscles, bones, joints) in the general population and compare my findings to previous research.

If anyone can spare about 5-10 minutes of their time to help me out, I'd sincerely appreciate it!

I took the survey. I'm disappointed we can't see the contact information after completing the survey.

In my opinion, probiotics are like chocolate. You can't add chocolate to turds and expect to change the nature of the turds.

Translation: Intestinal flora will naturally develop based on what type of food a person eats. It's no different than what you put in a compost pile. You can use antibiotics to kill most of them, but adding a tiny amount of a prebiotic won't change the flora.

I'm betting your study will strive to show a correlation between taking probiotics and health. You do make a good attempt to discern diet. I look forward to seeing the results.
