Long-winded video about probiotics and gut destroyers

http://probioticamerica.com/presentation17.php

   I don't agree with every concept. Yet, I'll list the main points so you don't have to suffer through this annoying video:

Gut destroyers:

A. Azodicarbonamide

B. Diet Soda

C. Coffee

D. Alcohol

There's two additional gut destroyers he mentions but aren't the main four:

1. Processed sugar

2. antibiotics

He's also against preservatives. His solution is probiotics. I lost interest in the video after about twenty minutes.

  •    I had some time to assimilate the information contained with this video. Here's what I question, the idea of good bacteria. Just like the idea of good fat and good cholesterol versus the bad kind. Later I found out about intramyocelluar lipids and how too much fat of any kind can be bad. Not to downplay that saturated fat and trans fat are still worse. I also found a peer reviewed articles stating that even small amounts of cholesterol are detrimental to human health.

          That's being stated, I'm suspicious about the idea of good bacteria in the gut. From what I understand there is three types of microorganisms that can live in the gut and compete for space.

    I. Gut flora

    II. bacteria

    III. fungus/yeast

          From everything I've read, gut flora is the best option, bacteria intermediate, and yeast is the worst. That being said the doctor in the video, Dr. Cary Nelson, MD, is probably doing more good than harm. He also explains why strict paleo diets do work to a degree. Understand, I am not making a pro paleo case, instead I am attempting to explain why a paleo diet yields health benefits over the SAD (standard American diet). Because of these health benefits it explains why paleo tenaciously hold onto their beliefs.

         Starting with fungus "The doctor may suggest probiotics to prevent future infections." WedMd Notice though WedMd does not mention candida in the gut. So, the idea of using probiotics to prevent candida is supported by mainstream medicine, yet the idea of this yeast living in the gut is not. As you can see from sciencebasedmedicne they also don't think candida in the gut is a problem. I tend to disagree with sciencebadedmedicine but find the site useful for figuring out what contemporary medicine agrees and disagrees with.

        From a peer reviewed article Candida is real. "The mouse intravenous challenge model of Candida albicans infection is widely used to determine aspects of host-fungus interaction." DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0006420

         The question remains is Canadia in the gut a threat? Later I will try to figure out if a healthy gut flora is better or not. I don't have the answers yet, just exploring for now. Dr. Greger talks about propinate in a video.

          Wow, maybe rather than watching the initial video by Nelson, we should be worried about saturated fat.
