Is anyone else sick of the word "probiotic"?
They're good bacteria. Cut the made-up technobabble and call them what they are.
@Mark@ Its not simplified at all. Its deliberate obfuscation all because some schmuck in marketing thought people wouldn't be able to grasp the concept of "good bacteria".

Yeah! Even the word biotic is confusing. They should just use bacteria because the word bacteria can be confusing enough
