And then you get these fancy expensive yogurts that contain "bifidus
digestivum" or "L. casi immunitas" which is "clinically proven" to
"improve digestion" or "promote a healthy immune system".
Frankly, I'm surprised these claims are legal. I thought there was a law
against making unsubstantiated "health claims"...

Thats because light wasn't used to image that, I think they used a
scanning tunneling microscope.

But our solar system is disc shaped.

To elaborate:
Electrons have a spherical or lobed cloud of proability depending on
their valence energy.

I know. That's why I said statistical imaging.

Wouldn't planets around stars and galaxies themselves have a spherical
or lobed cloud of probability too if we were to "see" them in high speed
frequencies? I'm talking here: if there was a being the size of
billions of billions of galaxies and looked into a subparticle
microscope to visualize "atoms", wouldn't our galaxies be spinning to
fast too that they would be nothing but a blur to the ultra big and slow
guy? And no, I'm not suggesting that guy is God anymore than I would
suggest a bacteria is God to the particles in its body.
Do galaxies spins always around the same plane of reference or it tilts
as we go? If it tilts, there is your cloud of probability in the long
run...

That would be the "meaningful" word up in that sentence, there.
You can construct a visual representation. It won't be very meaningful.

You're mistaken.
Complex probabilities have much of the same math as waves.

What makes you think it's unsubstantiated?

The absence of anything to indicate that it *is* substantiated?

People generally don't print references to their research results on the
bottle. The substantiation could very well be somewhere else. I don't print
on the bottle all the research I did to figure out how many calories are in
that package of food either.

There is a good amount of scientific literature supported the benefits of
"probiotics". What has been debated is the delivery method. They generally
do not fare well in the stomach, and it has been suggested that ingestion is
not an effective way to restore microflora. In other words, most people may
not be using the utilizing the optimal orifice. A woman can't use yogurt to
treat a yeast infection by eating the yogurt because one thing is not
connected to the other in any way.
