‘Good Bacteria’ Coming to America
- 7-2-2007
- Categorized in: Bacteria
Some time ago, NewsMax’s Dr. Russell Blaylock told our readers that “good bacteria” — often called “priobiotics” — was incredibly important for your health and well being.
Apparently, the U.S. food industry is finding that to be true. Brandweek magazine reports that there has been a huge “growth spurt” in foods containing probitioics.
“Step aside, antioxidants; the biggest buzz in food marketing today is probiotics,” the magazine says.
Foods like yogurt containing probiotics have been popular in Europe and Japan, but only recently have taken root here in the U.S.
The magazine notes that numerous medical studies have now confirmed the benefits of probiotics, making it “all the rage” for health-conscious eaters. Positive media about their benefits, in The Wall Street Journal and on “Oprah,” have helped fuel public interest.
Now the big food companies are rolling out probiotic food lines. General Mills is testing a Yoplait dairy drink with probiotics. Kraft is launching cheese products with live bacteria. Dannon has had tremendous success with its Activa brand yogurt.
What are probiotics, and why are Americans rushing to add them to their diets?
Simply, probiotics are “friendly” bacteria that live in your mouth, stomach, small and large intestines and colon.
These good bacteria serve a number of vital purposes including helping you digest and absorb your food, generate nutrients, and, most importantly, keep your immune system functioning by acting as the first line of defense against the bad bacteria like E. coli.
As important as these bacteria are, many people are deficient in them. This happens because antibiotics, which are being overused at an alarming rate, kill both good and bad bacteria.
Once the bad bacteria outnumber the good, any number of troubles can occur including nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, constipation, candida, and fungus.
Dr. Blaylock warns that bacterial overgrowth can help propagate cancer and inflammation within your body — increasing your risk of heart attacks.
Adding live bacteria via ordinary foods such as yogurt helps restore balance and harmony to your digestive system. Dr. Blaylock suggests that yogurt is not enough, and that many people need to add probiotic supplements.
