[edit] Neutrality disputed

IMHO the "scientific basis" section is misleading. It's mixing studies specific to the DN-114001 strain and articles which deal with Lactobacillus casei in general. As the L. casei article specifies, According to World Health Organization, those properties have to be demonstrated on each specific strain. In the section, some of the articles referenced aren't related to the DN-114001 strain which is the active ingredient of Actimel; thus the section is giving the impression that there are more articles related to the purported health properties of Actimel than actually exist. My suggestion is to move the references of those articles not dealing specifically with the Actimel strain to the Lactobacillus casei article, where they belong. I don't have the knowledge or time to read every article so maybe someone else can volunteer. --Pi (π) (talk) 10:16, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
