The C.A.M. Report
Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Fair, Balanced, and to the Point
  • About this web log

    This blog ran from 2006 to 2016 and was intended as an objective and dispassionate source of information on the latest CAM research. Since my background is in pharmacy and allopathic medicine, I view all CAM as advancing through the development pipeline to eventually become integrated into mainstream medical practice. Some will succeed while others fail. But all are treated fairly here.

    That’s the conclusion from Tatjana Meerman, publisher of the report, The US Market for Chocolate.

    What’s this got to do with probiotics?

    Barry Callebaut, a manufacturer of cocoa, chocolate and confectionery products, plans to introduce probiotic chocolate during the Food Ingredients Europe meeting in London at the end of October this year.

    More on the recently reported health benefits of dark chocolate is here, and a lot more on probiotics can be found here.
