What's all this about making "yogurt"?

from Defiant Health Radio with Dr. William Davis · host William Davis, MD

Why has yogurt making gone viral?First of all, it's NOT yogurt. It looks and smells like yogurt. By FDA regulations, something called yogurt must be fermented with traditional yogurt-making microbes Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. That's NOT what we are doing. Instead, we are fermenting human microbes, i.e., microbes that are adapted to the human body and provide substantial benefits but have been lost by most people because of their susceptibility to common antibiotics. Using my methods (prolonged fermentation, addition of prebiotic fiber, selecting microbial species to achieve specific effects) we obtain hundreds of billions of microbes per serving for greater benefits. These are the concepts I introduced in my Super Gut book and extended further in the Super Body book. Support the showYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMDBlog: WilliamDavisMD.comMembership website for two-way Zoom group meetings: InnerCircle.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.comBooks:Super Gut: The 4-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose WeightWheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed
