  • Dr. Ben Bikman, professor of cell biology and metabolic scientist, delivers a lecture on the importance of fermentation and fermented foods from a metabolic perspective. He began by defining fermentation as the metabolic process where bacteria convert carbohydrates into organic molecules, emphasizing that bacteria primarily consume carbohydrates, not fats or proteins. Fermented foods such as dairy, vegetables, and beverages like kombucha and kefir are common examples. Fermentation not only changes the taste and texture of these foods but also has significant metabolic impacts.
    One key benefit of consuming fermented foods is the reduction in glycemic load, which helps control blood sugar and insulin levels. Dr. Bikman highlights studies showing that fermented milk improves glycemic control and lipid profiles in people with type 2 diabetes. He pointed out the importance of choosing genuinely fermented products, such as real sourdough bread, which lower postprandial glucose levels compared to conventional bread.
    Dr. Bikman also discussed the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) during fermentation, such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate. These SCFAs have multiple health benefits, including improving gut health by maintaining gut barrier integrity, promoting an anti-inflammatory environment, and feeding gut cells. Additionally, SCFAs enhance metabolic functions, such as stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis and improving insulin sensitivity, which are crucial for overall metabolic health.
    Fermented foods also provide probiotics when consumed raw and unpasteurized. These beneficial bacteria can help balance the gut microbiota, improve digestion, and support immune function. Dr. Bikman emphasizes the importance of incorporating raw, fermented foods into the diet to reap these probiotic benefits.
    Lastly, Dr. Bikman introduced the concept of antinutrients, naturally occurring compounds in plant-based foods that can interfere with nutrient absorption. He explained that fermentation helps reduce the levels of antinutrients such as phytic acid, lectins, oxalates, and tannins, thereby enhancing the bioavailability of essential nutrients. He concludes by encouraging the incorporation of fermented foods into the diet as part of a strategy to control carbohydrate intake and improve metabolic health.

      I make bread that contains many grains and soymilk. Also, vinegar is an ingredient. With this as a staple, along with grains, legumes and a very small amount of meat/fish, I have helped people reverse their 'heart disease', and turned the clock back for longer lifespan.
      No doubt, fermentation is great for your gut bacteria and digestion, especially when you eat a meat/fish heavy diet. However, not mentioned is that lectins are nearly completely removed from legumes and grains when they are cooked. Therefore, you can eat these without worry, if you cook them (who eats raw beans and lentils?). This has been proven in numerous scientific studies. Most Americans do not get enough grains and legumes to feed the good bacteria and supply their bodies with the vitamins and nutrients to stay healthy. Most scientific studies show meat heavy diets and low complex carbohydrate diets lead to chronic disease and early death. People need fermented foods, but they should not be fearful of eating whole grains and legumes. Look at the percentage of intake of various food groups. Worry more about the hormones, mercury, antibiotics, chemical additives and other known carcinogens to the human body in meat and fish.

    I am so glad to hear kefir mentioned. Many times fermented foods are touted as healthy, but wonderful kefir is often overlooked. I make my kefir with half & half. It results in a rich, creamy product that is thick and, I find, addictive. I make 4 quarts per week. When I do my post workout whey protein, I mix it with my kefir to get the combination of fat and protein that Dr. Bikman recommends.

      Exactly. If you have to weigh things and use an app to count stuff, then you are trying to tell your body what and how much to eat. The beauty of carnivore is that without the carbs, your body's signals can be heard again. So your appetite does all the calculations for you and tells you what it needs. That's the way it should be. Does anyone ever count how much oxygen they breathe and use an app to decide whether to breathe more or less? Of course not. Let your body tell you how much it needs.

    Tofu (두부) is not traditionally made through a fermentation process. After the soy beans have been cleaned, soaked, filtered, and Boiled, they are then coagulated with salts, or acids, or enzyme coagulatants. If there is a cloudiness in the storing fluids and/or a tartness to the taste, this indicates bacteria in the product and spoilage has begun. Traditonal tofu has no tartness in how it tastes.
    Tofu can be fermented for certain dishes after production as can most starchy foods.
    Soy bean paste (된장) which is heavily used in Korean cooking is fermented during it's production as is the red pepper paste (고추장) which is also a main ingredient in many of the Korean dishes.
    IF the process of coagulation (a chemical process) is considered by definition to be a fermentation process, please correct me. I appreciate any comments that would clearify this.
    I hope this helps.

    Another great lecture Ben. Allow me to rambe a bit here.... I've been carnivore for almost twenty years, and have gone on and off fermented food, mostly kefirs and saur krauts.. I can't say they add any benefit. A couple of personal reasons for me. They increase histamine levels quite a bit which leads to an increase of uric acid, ( not so much with the kefir though). Most saur krauts have more salt added than my body likes. And then there's the increase in lactic acid, which feels as though it's something that my body has to eliminate, or burn? ( especially when eating a meat diet an it's associated acid result ).
    And then there's the discussion I'd love to hear from someone who really has investigated this,, yes, short chain fatty acids are produced, but the excrement of those bacteria eating the sugar etc, is still excrement. The harmful types of oral bacteria that many carb eating peoples have, excrete their by products that have acids so strong that it erodes the enamel on teeth. So for someone eating a high fat meat based diet, do you think we're missing out on short chain fatty acids by not eating fermented foods. Right now, I doubt it.
    Also, the bacteria in fermented foods are not the type that will take residence in the gut. They are transient. Might not really matter. But they simply will only thrive if fed more unfermented sugars. And I have to wonder,, some speculate about certain species of bacteria getting along with each other... A topic that is rarely covered, usually only by microbiome scientists. Thus what is the relationship to a gut which is colonized by a certain bacteria when eating only meat and fat, and what happens to that colony when fermented vegetable matter in included. All it seems to do for me is induce larger stools from the fiber added. There is also speculation that the human types of gut bacteria we were innocculated with at birth and developed through breast feeding ( I am aware that some of those do fall off when weaned from breast milk ) could be crowded out if only a certain group of species of fermented bacteria are eaten.
    I also tend to believe that fermented foods were created by our ancestors to survive times when meat was not available. Like cheese, when the cows in the winter have dried up their milk production. I doubt that early man hunting the now extinct great beasts full of fat went to the trouble of scrounging around for veggies of some sort and then ferment them.
    So for now, I'm undecided and will appreciate from anyone any of your insights here.

    Along with your videos I have watched several videos of Dr.Robert Lustig, Dr.Jeson Fung, Dr.Najeeb Lectures , Dr.Richard Johnson, Dr.Micheal Holick, Dr.Georgia Ede, Ken D Berry, Dr.Neal Bernard, Dr.Micheal Herschel Greger, Dr.William Davis , Dr.Thomas Dayspring , Dr.Paul Mason , Dr.Pradip Jamnadas , Dr.Peter Osborne , Dr.Peter Attia , Dr.Casey Means , Dr.Alan Goldhamer , Dr.David Unwin , Dr.John Cambell, Dr.Bill Bulsiewicz, Dr.Gundry, Dr.Derrick Lonsdale, Dr.William Li, Cyrus Khambatta, Dr. Allen Mandell, Dr.Stasha Gominak and few OTHER intellectuals .
    One thing unique about all the intellectuals mentioned above is that you explain everything with meticulous details that even a layman gets enlightened with your quality content.
    However, by the end of your quality video , despite being extremely enlightened, the viewer has to go back to his usual routine of eating unhealthy foods available all around .
    One intellectual says Wheat is bad , while the other says Meat is bad , one says Milk is bad while the other says Nuts are bad . One says grains are bad and one says Sugar is bad .
    While some intellectuals talk about Vitamin D and others about the Circadian Rhythm.
    I respect the hardwork of all the above mentioned doctors and intellectuals. However none of you great ladies and gentlemen have cleared the confusion or laid out a definite protocol to follow.
    I always knew that, all you great people out there are missing valuable information about our ancient crops and ancient foods.
    For the first time today, in this video , I found what has always been missing. I always wanted all you great intellectuals needed to disseminate the information about the Metabolic Health Benefits of Fermented Foods and also foods that have not yet been contaminated by modern food industry and mafia.
    The minor millets have been untouched by the modern food industry and mafia.
    They have been coined and promoted as the Five Positive Millets by Dr.Khader Valli from India.
    These five positive millets are Italian Millet Himalayan Millet African Millet Japnese Millet and American Millets.
    These five positive millets are also called as the Nutriceuticals. They are adequate in Dietary Fiber, Carbohydrates, Proteins, Thiamine Niacin Riboflavin and trace minerals.
    They are classified as grains from the C4 grasses. C4 grasses are environment friendly and needs only natural rain. They don't accept Fertilizers are pest resistant. They have no Gluten and Gliadin. They are non GMOs and therefore no Glyphosate is required. They grow all over the world unlike the quinoa and oats.
    Fermented Porridge made from the Italian Millet Himalayan Millet African Millet Japnese Millet and American Millets will save the mankind from all the Non Communicable Diseases.
    Fermented porridge is a probiotic drink which heals the GUT first and then every organ of the body.
    The said five positive millets can also be used for making bread , cookies, pastas etc .
    Dr Khader Valli also advises to get Vitamin D naturally from the SUN or from the mushrooms that can soak up the Cholecalciferol.
    Dr.Khader Valli advises to permanently quit eating Rice Wheat Maida Corn Soya Oats GMOs Milk Tea Coffee Sugar Jaggery Honey Dry Fruits Processed Foods Eggs and Non Vegetarian foods.
    Unlike any other intellectual out there, Dr.Khader Valli describes every information and activity for an individual to involve right from the morning to night. He meticulously describes easy and zero cost methods of drinking water , and also what each meal of the day should contain.
    Non of his recommendations costs a penny. Everything is free. Everything is Sustainable and 100 percent environment friendly.
    Hope your content also enlightens viewers beyond the biochemistry and cellular biology so that we all are Healthy.

      Lactic acid is immediately reduced to lactate in the body. Lactate can be used as a substrate for creating glucose (gluconeogenesis). Lactate is also what gets generated during intense anaerobic exercise. Only a problem when more is generated than can be cleared in a given period of time. It is way more complicated than that. Let me see if I can find a great summary I once read.

    The Parmigiano Reggiano cheese(parmesan) is rich in short and medium chain fatty acids. No lactose and galactose (eaten by the bacteria in 48 hours after production). In Italy you find the original one,which costs 30~40 $ per kg(2.2 pounds) and sometimes discounted at 30~50%. I dont understand why carnivores discard healthy cheeses!?

Насколько я понимаю, все молочные продукты имеют очень высокий инсулиновый индекс, то есть способствуют гиперинсулинемиии. Особенно творог, йогурт, кефир. При метаболическом синдроме не стоит ли их убрать, по крайней мере на время? 2. При ферментации резко возрастает уровень гистамина. Как быть с этим? Спасибо Вам огромное! ❤

    Question: How do probiotics from fermented food or food supplements survive the stomach to pass through and be beneficial to the intestines and body? Isn't one of the functions of stomach acid to kill incoming bacteria and parasites to protect the body? I have never understood this seeming contradiction.

    • @allisonal
      @allisonal 3 месяца назад +6

      I think it’s totally plausible. When I ferment vegetables, the pH routinely gets down to ~3. So the lactic acid bacteria thrive in quite acidic environments. That’s actually their competitive advantage: when vegetables are held under liquid (typically a salty brine), the LAB plunge the pH of the liquid rapidly so that anaerobic pathogens are impaired and the LAB can outcompete them. And of course, aerobic pathogens are impaired by the lack of oxygen underwater. Leaving LAB to happily thrive and produce wonderful foods for us.
      As for the stomach, perhaps they can survive at pH 2 (which is only 10x more concentrated than pH 3), or perhaps some of them rush quickly through. (Side note: the brine from fermented red onions is absolutely delicious, and liquid gets through the stomach more quickly than solids.)
      Also, I’ve read that the pH of the stomach can get up to 3.5, which overlaps nicely with their comfort zone.

And they noted that this means I should curb meat intake as it may cause some joint problem called Podagra. Later I did a research and found the opinion about the negative impact of protein rich diet for some people which, they say, does cause Podagra.

    • @Dirk_van_Tonder
      @Dirk_van_Tonder 3 месяца назад

      when you undergo 'long fermentation' of sourdough that implies storing the dough in the fridge, right? - either during bulk ferment or final proof or both. I believe all that's happening is fermentation is occurring at a slower pace because of the colder temperature and not so much having any effect on 'reducing carb content'. whether fermentation happens at room temperature or colder temps it's a fine balance to ensure overproofing doesn't occur and thus the bread failing to rise in the oven.
      The carb content of sourdough is still going to be significant

    I like to think that pretty much all of the components of a hot dog were originally (or could have been) fermented: the meat itself (fermentation can be part of traditional sausage preservation), the bun, ketchup, mustard, cheese-even red onions are delicious when fermented. Contrast that with the typical hot dog you’d get at a ballpark nowadays: probably none of it is fermented, even though many of the components are formulated to retain the taste of their fermented predecessors. There are so many other examples like that. And we wonder why we’re less healthy as a population nowadays!

      You can only ferment for so long otherwise it won't rise in the oven. It's a delicate balance. If you try to extend your bulk fermentation too long the gluten strands become too weak and the bread loses 'body'

    I'd like to recommend lactose-free milk for anyone who still wants to drink unfermented milk. Lactose-free milk has the same amount of sugar as normal milk, but tastes much sweeter. If you're going to pay the metabolic cost for all that sugar, you might as well enjoy the sweetness.

    • @garzascreek
      @garzascreek 2 месяца назад +1

      The producers add lactase enzyme to the milk to crack the glucose-galactose bond of the disaccharide lactose. Those monosaccharides are each sweeter than the lactose, in the same way that invert sugar's broken glucose-fructose bond or 50% high-fructose corn syrup is sweeter than an equivalent quantity of table sugar (sucrose). Although needed by those without genetically determined adult onset lactase generation, it looks like you discovered a novel use for lactose-free milk by anyone who might appreciate a sweeter milk.
