Intestinal bacteria produce biotin, pantothenic acid, alpha lipoic acid, paba.
I keep hearing about all this gut stuff.
Completely anecdotal.... I LOVE fermenting everything I can. I have a closet full of fermenting pickles, veggies, sauerkraut, kimchi. beets. kvas, and any other number of probiotic lacto ferments, I love them. I feel great eating them every day.
Certain Gut Bacteria Tied to Lower Risk of Diabetes
Having more diverse gut bacteria (greater microbiome richness) and specifically a greater abundance of 12 types of butyrate-producing bacteria were both associated with less insulin resistance and less type 2 diabetes, in a population-based observational study from the Netherlands.
Their study also identified a dozen types of bacteria that ferment dietary fiber (undigested carbohydrates) in the gut to produce butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid, which may play a role in protection against type 2 diabetes.

More affirmation for what some of us already knew.
But one key point: Their ignorance is astounding, because it affects healing in general, not just the liver.
Thank you very much!
BKMK!
I wish I had known how many things gut flora is helpful for. For so much of my life I had ignored it due to ignorance.
