Re: megadoses of fermented veggies?

[Guest guest]

I tend to overeat fermented vegetables because I like the tatse etc.. I've

been eating them for many years and have not noticed any adverse reactions.

If it's any consolation my two and six year olds eat massive amounts of

fermented veggies (kimchee, saurkraut, pickled daikon , turnips etc.. ) and

also have no adverse reactions. They have bene known to finish a whole jar

between the two of them!

One ml (1 mg, according to other sources) of FRESH yogurt contains about

10 billion lactobacteria. There's about 250 ml in a standard cup. Do the

rest of the math. I also remember reading about a study of some bacteria

used to treat diarrhea. It was noticed that it was more effective when

it was part of yogurt (it was used to ferment milk) than in a capsule.
