Study: Probiotics are not only good for the gut, they affect other organs too (L. paracasei reverses some of a high-fat diet’s bad metabolites)

With obesity rates still rising, the hunt is on for ways to combat the negative effects of a high fat diet. Researchers now believe they have discovered a possible answer—probiotic supplementation.

Robin Couch and Allyson Dailey partnered with the U.S.D.A. to explore the influence of probiotic supplementation on a higher fat diet, using pigs as model organisms.

The research team looked at four groups of pigs—two groups that were fed nutritionally balanced diets with and without probiotic supplementation, and two groups that were fed higher fat diets with and without probiotic supplementation. The probiotic that was tested is known as Lacticaseibacillus paracasei. After six months of dietary intake, organ tissue samples obtained from the pigs were examined, specifically looking at their molecular composition.

Couch and Dailey were looking at specifically at metabolites, substances that are produced or used during metabolism. They found that the kidneys and the brain were particularly sensitive to a high-fat diet and when certain metabolites were noted to be at harmful levels, the kidneys and the brain were the most susceptible.

In contrast, they also discovered that, with probiotic supplementation, many of the detrimental metabolite levels reverted to levels found in pigs that were fed a healthy diet.

"We'd like to see probiotic intake become a regular part of the dietary recommendations that a physician would give to a patient," said Dailey.

The researchers are also aiming to investigate other probiotic strains.

"This is progress towards providing new evidence that probiotics are good for you and that what you consume has a profound effect on your health," said Dailey. "These findings can contribute to the creation of revolutionary solutions, and, in the end, that's why I'm in this—to help people thrive."

I agree! Fat does not create fat...sugar does. And that esp means all the processed foods in the middle isles of grocery stores. All kinds of sugar. And I understand that fruit ie fructose is VERY BAD for getting fatty liver.

The following is a great youtube to watch. Just listen to the last half of video. Graphs upon graphs proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that obesity has greatly increased world wide (even Japan!) since this one particular item has been added to worlds diet...and that one item is vegetable seed oils ie corn oil, canola oil, etc etc etc etc. Watch the video and you will agree.

If item has a bar code...don’t eat it.

Using as a test set, appropriately enough:

Let the quest for “Pickled Cakes “ begin! Who needs the holy grail, the cakes are a different story.

Cakes. You funny!

[jacknhoo]

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

I type cukes( cucumbers) it auto corrects to cakes.

Ive been wanting to ferment on my own. WIll probably start with sauerkraut. Wonder if that’s as good as it gets?

I bought some kefir grains on amazon and tossed them into some unpasteurized grain fed cassein 2 cows milk. This produces. a very rich mix of fats vitamins and probiotics.

Its also incredibly tasty.

I fermented some bok choy...very easy...very good
