This topic is close to home for me, as both my grandmothers died of colorectal cancer. I've also been deeply interested in the topic of nutrition for a long time.
(get refrigerated or home fermented sauerkraut, not canned or jarred)
..what? How is it refrigerated but not in a jar? I love sauerkraut, what are you talking about?
Canned is a verb as well as an adjective. The verb kills the microbiology that is useful.
I don't eat it, but I've seen it sold refrigerated in a bag.
I think they mean heat-canning/jarring, which sterilizes it and destroys a lot of the probiotics in it to make it shelf-stable. Room temp sauerkraut is still good for you, just not as good as the less-processed stuff that requires refrigeration.
Correct!
The probiotics (live, good bacteria) are effectively dead in these. You get some benefits due to the metabolites left over but it's less than ideal.
That's a very good list, doing a bit of that would be an improvement for by far the most people including myself.
Personally I never eat red meat, I always cook it first. 😜
Well now meat has increased in price, and they are packing it in smaller packages, so we have reduced it some.
I know we should reduce it more for many reasons, but meat is to us like the cornerstone of the meal everything else is based around.
Regarding fermented food, I'm not so sure the healthy gut bacteria from it is relevant very often, like AFAIK youghurt contains zero living bacteria from the process when sold.
And the same goes for most fermented foods. The thing we eat most of in my home is sourdough bread, and the bacteria in that are probably all dead from baking it.
BUT there may be an issue of the fermentation prepossessing nutrients that are hard for us to absorb without the fermentation. Alternatively it may be that the good bacteria from fermentation help keep out bad bacteria.
I'm not sure what the actual evidence says on these issues, but sometimes it seems the evidence isn't entirely clear. Same with fiber BTW, AFAIK the results on fiber are mixed.
For instance bread with added fiber seems to have no benefit. But it's been more than a decade since I last read up on the issues.
I mean you know wrongly then. Live active culture yoghurt is everywhere. Maybe read something first and learn something interesting and then offer it up?
Probiotics - Health Professional Fact Sheet
The heat treatment kills the bacteria, so the yogurt you buy in supermarkets most likely has no probiotic value, unless specifically labeled.
This is the response I got from Google:
It may vary between countries and labels, but AFAIK the yogurt we have here is worthless as a probiotic.
It doesn't help that yogurt naturally contain healthy probiotics if they are killed before shipping.
