Are You Wasting Your Money on Probiotics?

Probiotics cannot help a sinking ship if the ship keeps taking in more water than it can cope with. If you are still indulging in too many sweet treats you are wasting your money on probiotics. Perhaps that is a motivator in itself for you to quell your sugar demon.
