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.the beta-glucans ... are particularly important for supporting immune function,” a statement said.
Critics say universities' reputations are being taken advantage of by companies keen to add a sheen of scientific credibility to their products. Professor John Dwyer, a former head of immunology at Yale and head of medicine at the University of NSW, said the study offered “no reason to believe mushroom powder would enhance your immunity”.
“Whether there is any health benefit is completely up in the air. People are better off spending their money eating healthy food rather than supplements.”“Griffith University disseminated the media release through the distribution channel Scimex with a clear listing detailing the study’s funding partnership with Integria,” the university's statement read.has confirmed the editors at Scimex added this declaration themselves after spotting the funding in the study.

Which one?
