Book Review: The Probiotics Revolution by Gary Huffnagle and Sarah Wernick
Probiotics are the good microbes found in many foods. In short, they keep your gut bacteria in check, helping to prevent gum disease, ulcers, and other diseases by enhancing the immune system. Dr. Gary Huffnagle, author of The Probiotics Revolution and Professor of Internal Medicine, Microbiology, and Immunology (University of Michigan Medical Center) researches probiotics. He states that probiotics should be "one of our essential food groups because they provide nutrients just as important to our health as vitamins and minerals." Practicing what he preaches, Dr. Huffnagle has his family eating probiotics daily.
Most of us have heard of yogurt containing these beneficial bacteria, but few know about kefir--a fermented milk drink. Found in health food stores and larger supermarkets, it like yogurt is available both plain, lowfat, fruit flavored, and organic. Kefir is prepared by mixing milk with a starter called "kefir grains," and then allowing it to ferment. This optimizes the probiotic content. Dr. Huffnagle explains that the amount of probiotic content in kefir is inferior when compared with yogurt, but the variety of good bacteria is better. In fact, the bottle of kefir in my refrigerator contains ten varieties of live cultures, whereas my yogurt has three. For better digestive and immune system health, eat both yogurt and kefir. Incorporated into a healthy diet, Dr. Huffnagle recommends one to three, 8 ounce servings of fermented dairy daily.
