| Author | Topic: Good bacteria in yogurt? |
| Klodoggg 10-23-2002 10:52 PM | Wai, I know that u maintain that dairy products contain all of those awful things that ruin our skin and make us gain weight. But don't u think that yogurt is different? Doesn't it contain good bacteria that perhaps outweigh the bad aspects of dairy? Let me give u a couple examples that illustrate the beneficial properties of yogurt according to my experience. First of all, where my earlobes meet my jawline, and also on the upper part of my jawline, i get these bumps that r like acne that never reach the surface. (I guess it is cystic acne?) Well, when I eat a little bit of yogurt regularly, these bumps go away! They shrink up, get smaller and smaller, until they r gone! My second example might seem a bit odd, but I suffer from tongue problems. I look at my tongue all of the time, and if it is white at all, it is usually accompanied by stomach problems and all sorts of other stuff. So, when I eat yogurt my tongue becomes a nice, healthy pink! Wai, is it possible that yogurt is good 4 us? I always eat Greek yogurt, if that is helpful at all... I think it has more fat and less sugar in it. |

Yogurt contains microbes called lactobacillus bulgaricus and lactobacillus acidophilus. They are bacteria that are added since they are required for the production of yogurt and fermented milk. These bacteria can also protect its host and can prevent disease. The friendly bacteria produce a variety of substances than can deactivate viruses, produce natural antibodies, and fight bad bacteria. This is why yogurt or acidopholous milk are said to be good for fighting canker sores from stomatitis. It is possible that you have a viral or bacterial infection causing the mysterious bumps, and the yogurt has enough good guys to make the symptoms or outbreak die down. The white tongue indicates a build-up of bacteria which yogurt bacteria can help decrease. But this information should get you started on researching it yourself a little more. Armed with good research you can choose the appropriate specialist and have it checked out. Good luck. |
| Wai 10-24-2002 06:45 AM | quote:Yes, yogurt is different, but not okay. first of all, the 'good' substances cannot outweight the bad substances, just as extra vitamins cannot outweight the pro-acne influence of salt and 'dirty' protein; the bacteria in yogurt simply cannot possibly undo the influence of 'dirty' protein, lactose and substance P. Secondly; in our colon all bacteria are produced that we need over there. Ingesting bacteria from the mother's milk of other mammals is simply unnecessary. Moreover, consuming bacteria cannot eliminate acne. quote:So, as long as you eat yogurt, you have no acne whatsoever??? quote:Yogurt is a dairy product that contains all kind of growth factors and growth hormones that are essential to sucklings, but can cause cancer in adults. That is why all mammals stop drinking mother's milk as they reach a certain age. quote:I agree with Rick on this; please see a specialist for this! |
| Wai 10-25-2002 06:37 AM | BTW, do you know that soreness of the tongue is one of the symptoms of a B12 deficiency? Other symptoms that MAY occure are: fatigue, weakness, nausea, constipation, flatulence (gas), loss of appetite, and weight loss. Do you eat fresh raw fish or fresh raw egg yolks??? You NEED some animal food to ingest B12 (or a B12 supplement) |
