This star is on the map because the show intends to take the question apart properly — the trials, how it is actually tested, whether the thing sold is the thing studied. That work is not done yet, and nothing here should be read as a conclusion. When the investigation is published it will appear on this page.
What we are reading
Gathered for the investigation and not yet written up. Each note says what the paper does and does not show.
EDITORIAL, not a trial or a systematic review — treat as orientation only. Its own honest line is the one to keep: there is some evidence on safety and tolerability, but 'evidence about their impact on disease activity is lacking'. Species, dose, timing and mechanism are all still open. This is the cautionary half of the hygiene-hypothesis story.
