Guest guest Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 I notice improvements in my digestion immediately after consuming raw goat milk kefir, and it tastes great. Often times when people hear that they should consume yogurt because of acidophillus, they buy yogurt from the supermarket full of sugar and preservatives. Much of the kefir in the stores are loaded with sugar as well but even that kefir makes me feel good. Here's some info I copied Both kefir and yogurt are cultured milk products... ...but they contain different types of beneficial bacteria. Yogurt contains transient beneficial bacteria that keep the digestive system clean and provide food for the friendly bacteria that reside there. But kefir can actually colonize the intestinal tract, a feat that yogurt cannot match. Kefir contains several major strains of friendly bacteria not commonly found in yogurt, Lactobacillus Caucasus, Leuconostoc, Acetobacter species, and Streptococcus species. It also contains beneficial yeasts, such as Saccharomyces kefir and Torula kefir, which dominate, control and eliminate destructive pathogenic yeasts in the body. They do so by penetrating the mucosal lining where unhealthy yeast and bacteria reside, forming a virtual SWAT team that housecleans and strengthens the intestines. Hence, the body becomes more efficient in resisting such pathogens as E. coli and intestinal parasites. Kefir's active yeast and bacteria provide more nutritive value than yogurt by helping digest the foods that you eat and by keeping the colon environment clean and healthy. Because the curd size of kefir is smaller than yogurt, it is also easier to digest, which makes it a particularly excellent, nutritious food for babies, invalids and the elderly, as well as a remedy for digestive disorders. --- Maj <casual_but_smart@...> wrote: > Will, for what it's worth, I couldn't agree with you > more, and, veterinary > medicine seems no better. > > Nurses and medical practitoners who heal seem to be > being replaced by people > who don't seem to know or care about suffering or > comfort, physical or > emotional, especially where the elderly are > concerned. > > When I was a boy, I was bored with adults who > wondered what the world was > coming to, now I think I understand. > > There are many of us who believe as you and I do > although we're scattered > and outnumbered. > > I wish I had an answer.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 HI will, Thanks for the added information. Raw goat milk kefir is what I drink and advocate not the commercial stuff. sometimes I take living here for granted and assume everyone has access to raw dairy. --- Will Winter <holistic@...> wrote: > I think is wise to follow her " body wisdom " > in her choice > of kefir over yogurt and goat over cow, but I do > believe that the > PROBIOTIC information is somewhat skewed and vastly > oversimplified. > > If you love your GB and your digestive health, you > need to take in > the right kind of PROBIOTICS.
