A short excerpt from a YouTube video titled "The Probiotic Power of Cultured Foods" (created/uploaded by Dr. Sanda Moldovan). In this excerpt they discuss kefir and other fermented foods as beneficial for oral and gut health — claiming enzymes in fermented foods can help break down dental plaque and peptides may be absorbed via the GI tract, reducing inflammation.
I think even kefir is so beneficial. I believe it has a cleansing effect even in minimizing the plaque, because the enzymes that are there in fermented foods actually help to break down the plaque.
That's such an amazing point. Everybody should be on this. Like, we should just be writing a prescription like you have. This is the best medicine that you can take three times a day, and you don't have to worry. Even just gum inflammation, I bet.
Yeah, absolutely. Because I think the peptides that you're talking about, those absorb easily through the intestinal tract. But since the mouth is the opening of the GI tract, I believe we do get some absorption in the guts with these peptides.
From fermented foods. Absolutely.
