| An Australian university has come under fire for spruiking a study into the supposed immune-boosting powers of mushrooms - without revealing it was sponsored by a company that sells mushroom-based immune-boosters.
Griffith University claimed its research showed a powdered mushroom extract “could ultimately help to boost the immune system”, protecting people from microbes, toxins and carcinogens.
“Mushrooms contain a variety of constituents that are important for supporting health, but the beta-glucans ... are particularly important for supporting immune function,” a statement said.
