The post has now been updated 🙂

Thanks for your Feedback, Steve.

The tea I bought DOES have B. Coagulans “BC30”, which apparently can survive boiling water and stomach acid (because it is in spore form).

I found your article to have several inconsistencies. For example, you say that “Probiotics” are killed by stomach acid, yet then push kombucha, kefir, sauerkraut, etc, which you don’t need to put in special capsules to survive passing through the stomach. You also say that vinegar kills probiotics, yet kombucha is just a vinegar made from sweetened tea (yeast produces alcohol from sugar, bacteria produces acetic acid from alcohol).

Yes, there are many claims about probiotics that should be looked at with suspicion, but you are making several unsupported blanket statements that are misleading. Your article is a good start, but needs better research.
