Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 One of those links Roman posted (the Google list) also answers the question (a long time back) about lactic acid in food, I think: it gets converted to good ol' glucose. So I guess eating a mess of probiotic vegies DOES give you some glucose (although I'd bet it has a much lower glycemic index). I always feel more energy after eating fermented vegies, more than you would think for having little starch. I know I'd read this before but had forgotten it.
