The Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) is killing us by being too sterile. All the food we eat in pressure canned, or processed to be shelf stable. Some of that processing includes radiation, Poison gas, and picking so early that they contain no food value!
Historically, this began in world war two; when we needed to supply fighting Men with food. To do this we had to pressure can everything, so it wouldn't spoil before the troops could use it. We converted everything over to this processing, to survive the conflict! When the war was won, the food processors use this infrastructure to stock grocery shelves, because it was warehouse friendly.
In the time before this, a significant part of our food chain was supplied using fermentation. Sauerkraut, fermented pickles, yogurt, water Kiefer, and cheeses were common. They were massive sources of probiotics! Now they are premium today, but still available.
The bottom line is that we were feeding our digestive tract with natural sources of probiotics that our GI tract needs to digest our food. Now that doesn't happen, due to the S.A.D.; and it's killing us! This lack causes digestion problems, which shows up as lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance, diarrhea, constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome; to name a few. There are many other diseases that are likely caused by this lack of probiotics, since a compromised digestive tract can Not collect as many nutrients as it should! Nutrient starvation will not allow the body to do a proper repair. The most obvious disease caused by this poor repair, is s cancer.
Today, as this becomes a larger problem; industry that has caused this problem, reacts in this manner:

They are now selling us, at a premium; the probiotics we used to get for free, so they can warehouse useless calories! Some canned food is fine, as long as we get enough fermented food to repopulate our GI tract....
I have begun fermenting, to repair this lack. I had problems with milk and bread myself, and corrected it by using the premium purchased probiotics. I was bad enough that I couldn't keep milk down before I started this 'repair'! Now I can eat anything I want to....
Here is a good source for fermentation information:
Kombucha is fermented tea, and a good place to begin. To start, buy a bottle of kombucha, follow her directions to prep the tea; and pour in some factory kombucha. A thick white pad will form on top, called a scobie. This can be used on the next jar of tea to make the Next Batch of home made kombucha.
She is also a good source for instructions on general fermentation. The more of this we can ferment, the more S.A.D. damage we can repair!
I do not care for kombucha, but I do drink kefir. Buttermilk is also tasty.

Well, kombucha is an acquired taste, and I like kefir myself. Kind of dicey on buttermilk, but I do drink some.
Bottom line is any fermented food is helpful to our GI tract! Stay healthy....

If you blend buttermilk with figs, you get a tasty smoothie. I found this out when making a Christmas cake.
There is a drink in Mexico that is made from fermented agave. It is called Pulque and is quite tasty.

I'll try that, I'm not offended by buttermilk; just never searched it out, but the fig would be a good add!
I've heard good things about agave juice, I guess I need to find some....
💗🤠💙🙏👍🥳🥀🤕
