Probiotics! It’s beneficial bacteria. The stuff that exists by the billions in your intestines. It’s a similar health benefit as eating yogurt – just different strains of bacteria.
This may one of the biggest health frauds perpetuated on the people with disposable incomes.
Thankfully, the hydrochloric acid in the stomach, and the very low pH, is sufficient to kill any bacteria.
You know the bacteria that makes yogurt originally came from a cow’s vagina. That means you may as well eat a … ooops!
You knnow, your milking a cow, a little bacteria migrates down the udders into the milk, it sits around for a bit and … voila! the milk becomes solid and YOU eat it!
But I disagree with your statement about people living only until 40. I’m trying to find the reference, and I forget some of the details, but people did live long lives back then. They had high infant-mortality rates back then. And many more people died of accidents (whereas today, we would fix them and they would live). They brought the average down. So did poor sanitation and poor isolation techniques during epidemics (not to mention that the doctors didn’t even wash their hands). But if you could make it through all that, you had a good chance of living to a ripe old age – without all the diseases we have today. I’m still looking for where I read that.
Also, so-called diseases of old age are now striking children. And (forgive me because I don’t remember where I read this either), the life-expectancy of people born today is LESS than that of their parents. So, we are actually starting to go backwards.
And this is only the beginning. Why? Because there’s no blueberries in Dunkin’ Donuts blueberry cake donuts. That example epitomizes our current state of insanity. Blueberries are extremely rich in antioxidants, something you REALLY need if you eat anything fried in vegetable oil (which is heat labile and therefore oxidized). So, you eat a blueberry donut. Not the healthiest thing to do, but at least there’s some blueberries in it. WRONG! There’s some gummy specks of corn syrup or something – died blue! That’s the current mentality – the insanity – of processed foods. They forget that food is supposed to nourish the body as well as the corporate balance sheet.
Back when I was in 4-H and we had a small farm, we named our two Black Angus steers Ham and Burger. The two cows never realized what their names meant. Cows aren’t the smartest animals.
I never had the heart to name my pigs after pork cuts. But they all met the same fate anyways, except for one. That one was a champion cross-bread gilt at the state fair. She went on to a life of making bacon instead of being bacon.
I’m getting in the mood for steak and beer for tomorrow.
On a scale of acidity called the pH scale, the acid secretions from the stomach wall
On a scale of acidity called the pH scale, the acid secretions from the stomach wall are between pH 0.8 and pH 1.0. This makes the secretions so strong that, if bottled, they would be too dangerous to have on an open shelf in a school laboratory and would have to be labelled ‘corrosive’.
surely it came from the mamery gland
