Probiotics Sugar and the food industry

[Jhanananda]

This is an interesting docu-video on sugar, and the food industry.  The American Parasite 250 Millions Americans Affected.. It reminds me of the "Oiling of America" video, because they use much the same data, but come to different conclusions. I believe that ill-health has no single cause; therefore there is no single cure; nonetheless, it is wise and pragmatic to attempt to live a healthy lifestyle, and weeding out the many causes of ill-health.

In the docu-video on sugar, and the food industry.  The American Parasite 250 Millions Americans Affected the work of Nobel Prize recipient Eli Metchnikoff, who in 1907 suggested that "the dependence of the intestinal microbes on the food makes it possible to adopt measures to modify the flora in our bodies and to replace the harmful microbes by useful microbes".

Those "useful microbes" are also known as "friendly flora," or probiotics. Probiotics are microorganisms that some have claimed provide health benefits when consumed.[1] The term probiotic is currently used to name ingested microorganisms associated with beneficial effects to humans and animals.[2] Introduction of the concept is generally attributed to Nobel Prize recipient Eli Metchnikoff. I am developing a hypothesis that the many health problems of western civilization might be due in part, or whole, to the over-use of antibiotics, antiseptic soaps, and the chlorination of our drinking water.  Perhaps we have all been leading too "clean" a lifestyle, and that we might be benefited from living closer to microbes, and yeasts.
