Streptococcus
Thermophilus, Streptococcus Faecium Information
Streptococcus thermophilus and
lactobacillus are efficient in preventing
lactose intolerance. Lactobacillus
bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus cultured in a test-tube
appear to stimulate disease-fighting cells. The bacteria also appear
to reduce the amount of nitrite (cancer causing chemical) in the
body. Studies have shown a relationship between those who consume
good bacteria (Streptococcus thermophilus), in supplemental form
or otherwise, and a decrease in the likelyhood of suffering from
breast cancer and infectious diarrhea. When tested in animals it
showed stunted growth of tumors.
Good bacteria, which include Streptococcus thermophilus, can be
obtained by consuming yogurt however it is difficult to determine
the amount of live bacteria from one batch to another. People who
take antibiotics end up killing bacteria causing the illness as
well as good bacteria. As preventative measure people should explore
the benefits of probiotics to help
enhance their immune response.
Streptococcus faecium, similar to Lactobacillus
casei, is drawn to fiber. This form of bacteria is primarily
known to feed on plant lignin. Streptococcus faecium has been used
to produce dairy for centuries. Lactic bacteria, Streptococcus faecium
in particular, is found in the mucosa lining where it prevents attachment
of other harmful micro bacteria.
Despite diet strategies that seek
to replenish friendly bacterial cultures to the lower tract, the
aging process and antibiotics often depletes our reserves or inhibit
their growth more quickly than we can restore them.
