Significance of Control diet

Control diet has distinct meanings in both Purana and scientific contexts. In Purana, it signifies the practice of regulating food intake as an act of worship and respect towards deities. Conversely, in science, a control diet refers to baseline feed formulations devoid of probiotics, serving as a comparator in experimental trials or as a standard dietary reference during studies. This approach helps ensure that external factors do not affect the effectiveness of the treatment under investigation.
