這假設現在受到部分醫護和科學家的支持,並使用益生菌及益生原(為養育益生菌的營養,令它們生長得更好)於敏感及濕疹的治療上,不過暫時還需要更多的研究證明及下結論。而有一項研究資料也值得大家了解一下(由University of Texas的團隊利用尖端的片上器官技術,cutting-edge, organ-on-a-chip technology,進行研究)
As part of their study, the scientists considered the impact of probiotics. They found that so-called good bacteria might be healthful for some people but have a negative health impact for others. It seems that their influence depends on the integrity of the intestinal epithelium. – 作為研究的一部分,他們分析了益生菌的影響。他們發現”益菌”對某些人來說的確是健康的,但對某些人來說效果卻相反,而好與壞的影響似乎取決於腸道表面的完整性。
“Once the gut barrier has been damaged, probiotics can be harmful just like any other bacteria that escape into the human body through a damaged intestinal barrier.” Researcher Woojung Shin- “一旦腸道屏障受損,益生菌就像任何其他進入人體內的細菌一樣有害。” 研究員Woojung Shin
