Probiotics and antibiotics are two opposite things; why would you assume they are both good or bad?

Probiotics are meant to stimulate the bacteria in your gut, which are already present, so making them more active isn’t a huge risk. Antibiotics kill bacteria throughout your body, including in your gut. Your gut bacteria are very helpful in you digestion of food, so you should avoid killing them unless you need to.

As an example, it’s better to give your employees a bonus rather than fire a bunch of them. A bonus won’t hurt your employees, and therefore your business, while firing employees will definitely hurt your business.

Interesting. Thanks for the great explanation. I had always been confused because whenever someone in my family had an infection they would be given antibiotics so I assumed they were inherently good to take. Yet seeing no antibiotics on dairy products the other day threw me for a loop as I’d always thought they were good for people
