Probiotics, "Good vs Evil" by Heath Morrison

Research has proven that friendly bacteria are vital to the development and maintenance of our immune system. More research is needed, but studies do suggest that the consumption of probiotics, also known as "good" or "friendly" bacteria are beneficial to proper digestion, waste elimination and nutrient absorption. Probiotics can be found and taken in many forms including capsules, tablets, powders and liquids. Some probiotic foods originate from ancient times, they can be found in yogurt if added after pasteurization, unpasteurized yogurt, milk, fermented milk and fruit, some soy and juice beverages.

Most probiotics are similar to good microorganisms found in our digestive systems and breastfed infants. Prebiotics differ from probiotics in that they are nondigestible food ingredients that can encourage the growth and stimulate the activity of friendly bacteria already found in your colon. One could theorize and research suggests that when probiotics and prebiotics are combined they will work in harmony achieving more health benefit than probiotics alone.

Researchers are putting probiotics to the test, perhaps proper levels of probiotics could help prevent infectious diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome. Helicobactor pylori, a bacterium which causes some ulcers and types of stomach inflammation, tooth decay and periodontal disease, respiratory, skin, stomach and vaginal infections. Data suggests that probiotics when taken in proper quantity and of good quality may be very beneficial to your general health.

Some people use probiotics in an attempt to reduce the side effects of antibiotics like gas, diarrea, skin rashes and cramping. Some have used them to minimize the symptoms of lactose intolerance which is a condition where the digestive tract lacks an enzyme needed to digest the major sugar found in milk and other dairy products. It is important to note that careful selection of probiotics is critical. Probiotic supplements must be manufactured to survive the acidity of your stomach so that they may reach and colonize your colon to be of any real benefit.
