This is the first of a long series of in-depth videos on the microbiome, though I have touched on friendly flora before: • How to Reduce Carcinogenic Bile Acid Production (nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-reduce-carcinogenic-bile-acid-production/) • Putrefying Protein and “Toxifying” Enzymes (nutritionfacts.org/video/putrefying-protein-and-toxifying-enzymes/) • Why Do Plant-Based Diets Help Rheumatoid Arthritis? (nutritionfacts.org/video/why-do-plant-based-diets-help-rheumatoid-arthritis) • Bowel Wars: Hydrogen Sulfide vs. Butyrate (nutritionfacts.org/video/bowel-wars-hydrogen-sulfide-vs-butyrate/) • Preventing Ulcerative Colitis with Diet (nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-ulcerative-colitis-with-diet/) • Treating Ulcerative Colitis with Diet (nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-ulcerative-colitis-with-diet) How does the body maintain the right balance of bacteria? Wait until the next video—you’ll be amazed (I know I was!): Prebiotics: Tending Our Inner Garden (nutritionfacts.org/video/prebiotics-tending-our-inner-garden).
