Short Chain Fatty Acids-Question for the pro's

[Guest guest]

In the knowledge base of Elaine's website it has a passage about short

chain fatty acids. In it it says that Elaine was doing nobel worthy

research on fermentation and the production of short chain fatty

acids. It goes on to say that the fermentation process would yield a

greater amount of calories than the initial carbohydrate source. Does

anyone know, or know anyone that could tell me where I can find more

information on this. I am very curious about this, especially as it

relates to weight gain. Does that mean that when we make yogurt that

we are increasing the calories? Would this apply to the fermentation

of fiber?
