Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / March 2005Active Bifidus
What is active bifidus? > What is active bifidus? Bifidus is a type of bacterium and active presumably means it's still alive in the yoghurt. MattLB >What is active bifidus? It is a advertising slogan of Danone, with as much meaning as saying a dairy product contains milk. See www.food-info.net (direct link http://www.food-info.net/english/qanda/qa.php?c=wi&id=226) Ralf The enzymnes have not been killed before distribution. > >What is 'active bifidus'? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Ralf > The enzymnes have not been killed before distribution. bifidus are bacteria, not enzymes. probiotics (like these) only "work" when the bacteria are still alive in the joghurt and can become part of the intestinal flora. I have to tell my doctor that bacteria can live in an arrid environment now without oxygen and moisture. > > The enzymnes have not been killed before distribution. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > joghurt > and can become part of the intestinal flora. > > > The enzymnes have not been killed before distribution. > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > joghurt > > and can become part of the intestinal flora. > I have to tell my doctor that bacteria can live in an arrid environment now > without oxygen and moisture. I would really hope he knew that already. Bacteria can live just about anywhere and most of the bacteria in the lower gut are anaerobic so have no need for oxygen. I guess they violate the principles of life then.. **sigh*** > > > > The enzymnes have not been killed before distribution. > > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > anywhere and most of the bacteria in the lower gut are anaerobic so > have no need for oxygen. > I guess they violate the principles of life then.. **sigh*** >>>I have to tell my doctor that bacteria can live in an arrid >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >>anywhere and most of the bacteria in the lower gut are anaerobic so >>have no need for oxygen. Look up "anaerobic". Then take a closer look by sticking your head up your +"*ç. Unless, of course, it's where it's usually found. Bacteria can also live in temperatures well below zero. Go to Antarctica to check that too. :: Piezo Guru wrote: ::: I guess they violate the principles of life then.. **sigh*** [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] :::: about anywhere and most of the bacteria in the lower gut are :::: anaerobic so have no need for oxygen. :: Look up "anaerobic".

Go to :: Antarctica to check that too. AFAIK, there is both beneficial and malefic bacterial flora in the intestines. A large group of anaerobic bacteria is called bacteroides. If there are a lot of bacteroides they supress the amount of beneficial bifidus bacteria in the large intestine. Avoiding refined grains, red meat and sugar helps and adding probiotics (bifidus bacteria) and prebiotics (certain fiber) helps to resterore the good bacterial flora in the bowel. http://borg.med.ecu.edu/~webpage/about.html  SignatureJuhana |
