That was kind of my feeling. Thanks Bob Jason LaPres Associate Professor of Biology Human Anatomy and Physiology 2700 WW Thorne Winship 210E 281-618-7132 From:
HAPS-L-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:HAPS-L-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rawding, Robert S Jason, If you take the statement at face value, it is
preposterous. If you are talking about the sheer bulk or dispersion
of lymphoid TISSUE alone, then it might be of some merit, albeit
'shaky'.. When one considers MCHC classes, 'self' markers for
body tissues, overwhelming numbers of WBC's in the billions, complement, immunoglobulins,
the roles of the liver and bone marrow, etc., then the ad is a
"joke", at best. They are utilizing the term
'immune system' which is clearly - to us - way more than the GI
tract and the 'ALT's (MALT, GALT, etc.) Just another company with a $$$-rooted propaganda
campaign? Bob Robert S. Rawding, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Biology Phone: (814) 871-5872 From:
HAPS-L-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Lapres, Jason H I noticed on the yogurt commercial for Activia that they
mentioned “70% of your immune system is in the wall of your GI
tract”. I know there is an abundance of lymphatic tissue in the
mucosa and submucosa of the GI tract, but I question the “70% of you
immune system” stat. Can anyone shed some light on this? Jason LaPres Associate Professor of Biology Human Anatomy and Physiology 2700 WW Thorne Winship 210E 281-618-7132 |
