Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 thanks bruce. obviously it's been a long week if i couldn't think of that one. here's another one. there's good bacteria in things we eat. some of it i know we put there, such as kefir. some of it we don't - such as lactobacillus. the question is, where does it come from? is it all environmental? is there good bacteria in meat, for example? if so, was it there already, or is it environmental? -katja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the species that colonize our bowels are there from the hours shortly after birth when there are no bacteria in our intestines and they are open to colonization. Meat I don't think would have anything in it you would want to have culture into large populations in your intestines. It is an animals immune systems job to keep out foreign life forms form the bodies tissues. Bacteria and spores are common in the air we breath.
