In reply to Jolante Wiebe. Thanks Jolante! My favorite fermented foods is yogurt--and of course, I try to use in some of my recipes! Always with my smoothies and smoothie bowls!

In reply to 2wheeler. Good point, but I haven't dived into this area too much. Emulsifiers in food products are shown in animal studies to impact the gut lining and gut microbiota. But, we can't always compare mice to humans! There is interest in this area and more research is being done. I try not to be fearful of every bite I make--but instead, try my best to eat foods in their natural state--fruit over juice, whole grains over refined, etc...when possible.

Thanks for the article… Lots of good information and links. You mention in your article the”sterile” nature of 21st century food. Beyond sterility most prepared foods contain one or many of myriad preservatives. Are there any studies on the effects of food additives that might compromise out gut biome? I’m thinking those added as preservatives to nearly all store bought items, including breads, meats etc. These products are designed to hinder yeast and bacterial growth in the foods they preserve so what impact might constant consumption have on our digestion? And what about those present in our food unintentionally like glyphosate? We know these inhibit bacterial growth so couldn’t they effect how our gut biome is working?

One thing to keep in mind is don’t over do eating fermented food, if you have never had them you have to start very slowly, increasing it as you go and if it does not upset your stomach. I get too much gas from fermented foods and they clean me out, okay for short term only.
