> I was wowed by those abstracts. I see they are rather new. Lots of people have discussed this issue here, but haven't seen studies. I've asked doctors about this, and they've just dismissed it.
heh, i keep wanting to tell people doctors aren't scientists. Theyr'e more like priests who have their holy book updated (by scientists!) every few decades.
> Would you have to have digestive problems to have this issue? It seems the study recognized these problems.
its probably an indication that something is worse, but i'd think the relationship woudl be pretty loose
> So-could you get those same proboitics used in the study from yogurt-like Stoneyfield? Can you make your own yogurt with that bacterium by starting a batch from the Stoneyfield? I quit eating yogurt about 2 months ago, just can't afford the groceries I used to buy.
i tried exactly that a while ago, a few of the issues are that as live cultures like yoghurt or sourdough continue to grow, they more and more become whatever the local bacteria is in your environment, as the stonyfield strains are outcompeted by the natural bacteria from air, skin, etc. which isn't necessarily a problem, hte local strains might be better or worse, hard to know. they usually don't make as good of a culinary product though. you can take a pint of stonyfield, divide it up into an icecube tray, and so the cost is divided out over a dozen batches, and you get good quality still.
> I wonder when more doctors are going to start considering natural cures. Thanks for posting this!!!
oh, and prebiotics are also important.-d/r
