Does it work? Is it good for you?
It depends if you cram it
>>222093791. Yes2. Not the one you posted
>>22209379i drank some of the blueberry one after a huge meal and it helped me shit better
>>22209379Health effects are minimal and likely completely negligible.Most of the purported significant health effects are self reported and likely heavily biased due to the placebo effect.It's about as good for you as most other not heavily processed foods.
>>22209570Lol
>>22209379As good for you as any lowfat milk product. It's just drinkable yogurt with a buttermilk twang. Pretty tasty if you like that sort of thing.
>>22209379That one has no actual fruit in it and also has a good amount of added sugar.
>>22209379All probiotics are good for you.
Probiotics are a meme. Prebiotics is the dream
>>22209630>>22209618They're both memes.
>>22209379This stuff combined with kombucha is the bees knees when you have food poisoning. I drank literal gallons of it and kombucha the last time i caught the stomach bug and it pretty much completely staved off all of the symptoms minus the dozen or so bathroom trips per day, no stomach pains, no nausea or vomiting, no dehydration headaches. I was just perpetually pissing kefiry kombucha shits out of my ass for a couple days and that was it.
>>22209675Have you considered that perhaps, this virus wasn't one that caused symptoms of stomach pain, nausea, or vomiting.And that maybe, considering the lack of any evidence that either of those things could stave off such symptoms, you simply drew a false conclusion?
>>22209379>KefirIsn't that what muslims call you when they're upset at something you did??
>>22209711That's kafir.
>>222095471) * results vary2) is cap, it's just a yogurt drink with probiotics read the counts they're almost all the same
>>22209570Objectively incorrect. There's plenty of studies on the real benefits of homemade kefir. Look up kefir peptides as a start.Storebought kefir is just thin yogurt.
>>22209742Yeah yeah yeah, they always say this and the studies are always either inconclusive, in vitro, or have incredibly small sample sizes.
>>22209711Kuffar
>>22209630Antibiotics are where it's at
>>22209772I am more of a protobiotic man.
>>22209379>Does it work?For some people.>Is it good for you?If it's providing what you need.Can't stand the taste of it myself.
>>22209379Dude stop forcing this third world rotten milk meme. You make this thread every single day.
>>22209742Imagine being this gullible.
>>22209744Show me.>>22210065>t. Legally retarded
>>22210065Kefir fermentation increases the nutrient density of milk.
>>22209379I drink this brand cuz it’s all my grocery store sells but I suspect it’s bullshit, like most people in this thread. Probably just like having ice cream tbdesu
>>22210465if you live in a first world country and don't have an eating disorder you don't really need to concern yourself with nutrient density
>>22210498>t. Coping fastfood addict with magnesium and Vit. D deficiencyFactually incorrect. A simple search would reveal that there are many common and very prevalent micronutrient/vitamin deficiencies in first world countries. Calcium, vit. D, A, Iron, magnesium, potassium are just a few. Apparently around 50% of the US is deficient in magnesium, so nutrient density is something you should consider. Lol
>>22210584how do you think kefir magically increases the quantity of minerals, iron, or vitamin D in milk?also I don't eat fast food and I'm not deficient in anything. I also make my own kefir and have for years. I just don't believe that it has magical powers because I'm not schizophrenic.
dairy is kind of interesting. you need butter to cook well. I always buy a little thing of cream for sauces. I only buy milk now for bachamel sauce. so kefir is a thing I buy sometimes. and its really a treat though. I dont eat it with a meal, its something I'll take a swig from once a dayand it helps its probiotic. like pickled foods. it probably doesnt mean much but it helps a little bit
>>22210614YIKES! You are retarded! Probably in part from nutrient deficiencies lmfao
>>22210625I've been tested for deficiencies and have none. lmao! Please tell me how bacteria creates a mineral though I'm very curious.
>>22210663Never ever did I say that. You have extreme difficulty contextualing posts and this weird habit of inventing arguments out of thin air. Dishonest to the point I doubt your claim about you actually getting testing kek.Op asked if kefir was healthy and I said yes. Then I simply stated that kefir fermentation increases the nutrient density of milk, which is true. Nutrient dense foods are usually healthy. You created an argument out of thin air, which is clear sign of low intelligence.You lack the reading comprehension and contextualization skills to understand that my point about common mineral deficiencies was in response to your claim that first worlders don't need to worry about the nutrient density foods and not specifically referring to how kefir fermentation improves nutrient density by creating b vitamins. GG bruv. :)
>>22210435>Show me.Pick a study, if there exists one study that isn't either inconclusive, small sample size, or in vitro, you've proven me wrong.
>>22210703How does kefir increase the nutrient density of milk? Other than bacteria byproducts fermentation doesn't magically create iron, magnesium, calcium, or potassium. I'm genuinely curious. Give me a source. I'd be happy to read it.
>>22210708Fermentation produces b vitamins.
>>22209714Nothing you said is relevant to what I did
Brit here. Honestly, I eat it almost every day, If I can't get the brand I like (pic rel) then I'll substitute greek yogurt. Makes all the difference to my digestion, love it. Would recommend.
>>22209714"""naturally flavored with other natural flavors""""""low fat"""buy normal unflavored kefir if you want it as a health drink, you can throw blueberries or banana slices in there if you want
Yeah but not the ones with sugar. I buy plane, 3,8% fat.
>>22213358that's a lot of fat
I just bought some of that then drank it and also had kombucha then ate a bunch of bulgogi meatballsHelp!
>>22213347You must make your own kefir if you want to maximize health benefits. Storebought us basically just thin yogurt.
I prefer sauerkraut
>>22213743If you just pour a little from the store into milk is it an infinite hack or is there more to it?
>>22209379ayran is better
kefir is bussin
>>22213753No the bacterial/fungal colonies are not the same. You need to start off withbkefir grains. You can only do that with yogurt or kefir grains. Kefir is way easier to make, but yogurt is kinda better imo
>>22213753there isn't enough bacteria in the store kefir to ferment a new batch. kefir is fermented with grains which are colonies of bacteria and yeast. shelf stable kefir has essentially stopped fermenting and is nearly dead. if it were still active and live it would continue fermenting and the bacteria would acidify the product and it would split. it would also self carbonate and become bubbly and possibly the containers would explore. kefir fermentation is pretty rapid at room temperature with a high grain ratio. but it takes a very long time with a low grain ratio and with literally no grains the milk would rot before it fermented.
>>22209630Throwing prebiotics into a gut that's already dysbiotic is really quite fucking bad for you.>here shitty bacteria>eat this buffet and keep shitting garbage into me
>>22213877if you have chaotic gut bacteria you are likely doing something very wrong. you don't even need probiotics or prebiotics to restore gut health. your gut will recover on its own when you stop doing retarded shit to it.
>>22213738Also expensive as fuck. Jokes aside the plain ones are the best, I dont even like the sugary ones. If the store is out of plain I won't buy any at all. Get some yogurt instead or something.
>>22213896I make my own kefir. Sometimes in the warm months I make fruit kefir and do a second ferment with the fruit sugars. Plain is the best though I agree. I also prefer it warm.
>>22213890Nah in the worst case you're so fucked up your only real option is fecal transplant.And again, if you have dysbiosis eating a bunch of inulin can end up skewing you more toward fucked up.
>>22213908the worst case is like less than 1% of cases. I'm saying if you pound liquor every day and smoke or use oral nicotine or any other drug that affects your gut you can essentially fix your gut in a matter of days by just stopping the bombing campaign.
>>22209547>>22209714Which Idiot is right/ck/?
>>22215749neither is right. you can help your gut biome with certain strains of kefir bacteria but it won't cure SIBO, chrons diseases, ulcerative colitis, etc. Probiotics only work for 1 specific problem. They don't work for the hundred other digestive issues that you could have which are completely unrelated to bacteria or worse, ARE related to bacteria overgrowth which means probiotics will make your issue much worse.
I never tried milk kefir but I make fruit kefir regularly I thought it was a hippy fotm thing but apparently it became popular in Europe in like 1900
