Probiotic Strains Isolated from Human Feces and Breast Milk

[Alphanumeric]

Probiotics are commonly consumed as part of fermented foods with specially added active live cultures, such as in yogurt, soy yogurt, or as dietary supplements. Probiotics are also delivered in fecal transplants, in which stool from a healthy donor is delivered like a suppository to an infected patient.[2]

Probiotic

Heh. Always wondered how they got it.

Food Unwrapped. Cool show.

Here's an 07 study looking at the benefits of probiotics isolated from human breast milk.

Breast milk is the best food for the neonate because it provides a unique combination of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, minerals and vitamins that
ensures the correct growth and development of the infant. In addition, it also contains bioactive compounds responsible for a wide range of bene-
ficial effects such as the promotion of immune system maturation and the protection against infections. Among these bioactive agents, probiotic
bacteria have been recently isolated from human milk.

I wonder if that isolate is also used in yogurts. Lol.



While on the subject... :

She could replace Browning’s bacteria completely, by inserting into her colon a diluted sample of stool from someone whose intestinal health was good. If the good bacteria in the donated stool took hold and recolonized her intestine, the C. difficile would be crowded out, and she would be cured.

Browning had never heard of such a procedure—variously called fecal transplant, fecal bacteriotherapy or fecal flora reconstitution—but she was ready to try anything. Kelly asked her to recruit a healthy donor. Browning chose her 49-year-old son. In the fall of 2009 Browning performed the bowel-cleansing routine that precedes a colonoscopy, while her son took an overnight laxative. Kelly diluted the donation, then used colonoscopy instruments to squirt the solution high up in Browning’s large intestine. The diarrhea resolved in two days and has never recurred.

Cured of chronic diarrhea.

Fecal Bacteriotherapy

So much learning. I love the internets.

Read a little on fecal transplant when it appeared on the paper.Apparently,not too docs would even look at that as an option. Considering it is success rate,it is a viable option.

Now,i am going to stop imagining my activia contains that.

I've finally gotten over the fact that they used beetles for coloring in most red/blue/pink yogurts and then you post this.
