Copyright Description Friends with benefits: Eating foods containing lactobacillus bacteria can help keep you healthy. Omorose Panya nutrition diva I'm liking you more and more! "Let me assure you that no beneficial bacteria survive the ultra-pasteurization process."---I am so glad you mentioned this! Pasteurization is ridiculous, yeah? The process acts at an insufficient temperature and time length to kill the "bad" bacteria it is "supposed" to, but at the perfect settings to kill the things we need (such as lactase) to digest the food. Thanks for the obvious tip on Activia and the like. I never liked how they try to trick everyone into thinking their yogurt is so special for being exactly like all other yogurt on the planet. I would be mindful of the types of yogurt we choose, however. All of the advertised brands are practically made of sugar, which is definitely not good for health. Nice podcast =) http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/beneficial-bacteria.aspx?commentid=18515#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/beneficial-bacteria.aspx?commentid=18515#Comments Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:11:43 GMT Kate nutrition diva I totally agree with you as I was brought up on foods containing beneficial bacteria as my mom came from a family of doctors, who were from old medical school. However, for some reason doctors today don’t often prescribe healthy bacteria, unless you go and see a nutrition specialist. I think in the last few years things have improved as we now have more “cultured” products and it is almost fashionable now with all the celebrities talking about it. However, we are more looking towards things like bacteria capsules, drinks and often forget, as you correctly pointed, that there are many natural products. Thank you.
