And my parents kept warning me about how fermented food is bad, after reading some morons on the internet, I ask them why they are like it is rotten food it is bad. You can't fix stupidity.
there may be more bacteria cells in us then human cells, but the human cells are much bigger, which is why we look like humans instead of lumps of smelly goo
Pickles are basically rotten food. Our early ancestors probably ate rotten food because they have no other choice. I'm sure our first ancestors got sick or even died from that good bacteria. But over time, human and good bacteria started to create a symbiotic relationship that mutually benefit both parties.
I know they're good for me and I know there's already a gazillion bacteria inside me and all that, but every time I try to buy probiotics I see "guaranteed live cultures" and I can't do it. Hank's "partially-digested rotting food" explanation didn't help.
the best sour pickles I have ever had were my grandmother's fermented pickles. I remember as a child putting my hand through the jaw when was a little bit of cheesy stuff onto the top and I didn't care. I know make kimchi and fermented pickles and sauerkraut I love anything fermented.:-)
So if there are ten times as many bacterium in/on our bodies as cells making up our bodies, then would it be fair to say that some percentage of our bodies is not really OURS?? If so, how much might that be in a normal person? ///edit// I started writing this comment before the last few lines of the video = |
my extremely german grandmother made sauerkraut once and it made me gag dont know how people can handle being near those smells, much less EAT something that smells rotten…
I looove these nutritional science videos!! I watch health & nutrition videos on Youtube all the time, but they're usually someone's personal experience with some kind of diet without any real science to back it up. Don't get me wrong, I love watching people get healthy and their journey but some of them preach their diet like gospel to the masses when it might actually not be good for some people. Keep up the good work guys, I would love to see more of these!! <3
Weird: Lactobacillus probiotics usually give me bloody diarrhea 🙁 But, the probiotic yogurt at Trader Joe's that has 6 different bacteria other than Lactobacillus actually helps me 🙂
the only reason why my dad doesn't like pickles is just the "tastiness" that ruins your kidney.
…micrpflora foam party. Wow.
I made my own sourkraut several times the perks of being from a large German family #Germanmasterrace
I love how this guy throws jokes.
I'm studying reducing bad digestion at home and discovered an awesome website at Marita bio pro (check it out on google)
yeah predigested food!!!

Good to know that there's more bacteria in me than there is of me, FeelsGoodMan
What about Kimchi? Is that fermented or is it just packed in vinegar?

Probiotics actually means "for life".

Beer is made of hops,
Hops are a plant,
Plants make a salad,
Beer is a salad!
Thanks for the mind fuck!~❤

where do probiotics naturally occur in nature? Are they on raw foods and bad bacteria from cooked food or animal food? I don't know.
The End is here
Don't we also create lactic acid and that's what makes our muscles sore?
*holy
Tempeh?OLY SHIT THATS GOOD
Awesome episode!
It's mind blowing to know that my body is an entire biome with so many bacterial cells living in and on it
Jesus Christ, thank you. I don't know why it took me so long to find a simple explanation of these things.
we are not humans, we are bacterium, controlling humans.
Gotta love fermented food! Tastes amazing, and is great for you.
I just wish there was a way to tell all those little bastards what a good job they were doing down in my gut
why do i have receding gums?
This guy is hi
