Traditional diets across cultures contain ingredients that naturally prevent biofilm formation. These foods served multiple purposes: preserving food, enhancing flavor, and stabilizing it. Every native diet examined includes anti-biofilm compounds, suggesting a universal strategy humans discovered independently.
If you look at the native diet of anywhere in the world, and here's the important part: the part I'm going to tell you that is biofilm preventive is different in every culture, but it has certain things in common. But what you will see is if you look at the native diets in any part of the world, they have a core of their dietary practices which might be part of their you know cooking and eating. It may be part of preservation of food, and we're talking about traditional. Know, before refrigeration and stuff, but it's somewhere around what we put in our mouth in that culture. And there's not a culture I've ever found that doesn't have this. There are anti-biofilm constituents that were either used for preservation or for flavoring or for stabilizing or all of the above.
