Onion & garlic. Years ago Scientific America had an article describing the sulfur compounds in onion & garlic and their antibiotic properties.

Also recently read where fake sweeteners can screw up the bacteria in your stomach.

I love both onion and Garlic and avoid artificial sweeteners like the plague...I found this article fascinating, as I am dealing with 40 lbs of overweight but have cravings at work that won’t stop. Going to research this more...

That is an understatement. Sucralose, aka Splenda, will massacre your good bacteria, but leave your bad bacteria, especially Enterobacter, untouched. Enterobacter is one of the top obesity causing bacterias.

If you consume sucralose for 12 weeks, even discontinuing it for the next 12 weeks will not recover your healthy flora.
