kefir smells yeasty

[Guest guest]

Hi Marilyn,

Thank you for your reply and advice.

May I know then, how to get rid of the high yeast activity?

 

I attached an extract from Dom's FAQ site regarding the anti-inflamatory

function of kefir for your reference.

" Milk kefir exhibits anti-bacterial [inhibiting the growth of unwanted

bacteria], anti-mycotic [inhibiting the growth of unwanted molds or fungi],

anti-neoplastic [inhibiting or preventing the growth or development of malignant

cells] and immunomodulatory [an immunological adjuster, regulator or

potentiator] effects, including a recent study of the anti-inflammatory activity

of milk kefir, especially so for kefiran, which milk kefir-grains consist of and

exude into the kefir during fermentation of milk. Apart from the

anti-inflammatory effect, the former four activities may be shared by water

kefir-cultures. Milk kefir also contains a powerful antioxidant, [1] existing as

charged molecules. [2] The former research has shown it to be more powerful than

vitamin E in protecting body cells against oxidative damage. The latter research

concluded that the pH and heat resistant powerful antioxidant of milk kefir,

whether made from dairy milk, rice milk or

soymilk, has the potential to prevent pathogenesis of the brain such as

Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ischemia from stroke,

Huntington’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and amyotrohic lateral

sclerosis. There has yet been similar studies to evaluate antioxidants of water

kefir that I am aware of at this point. Milk kefir also has the ability to

correct high blood pressure and blood glucose levels. "

 

Blessed Christmas and a fruitful new year ahead.

Hi Shirl,

I remember reading that now. In fact, I ate 1/3 of a cup of kefir grains every

day for a couple weeks not too long ago and it did not help my inflammation. It

is important to remove the cause of the inflammation for something like kefir

grains or any anti-inflammatory to help it. That is probably why it did not work

for me. It might now, but now I am too low on kefir grains to do the experiment.

Can you imagine having an extra 1/3 cup of kefir grains per day for 14 days?
