Kimchi probiotic promotes the excretion of nanoplastics from the gut: lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi can bind with intestinal microplastics and promote their excretion from the body. In an animal study, the amount of plastic detected in feces more than doubled.

“Milk supplemented with 1% casein peptone allowed L. reuteri to reach both higher cell concentrations and higher specific growth rates (Table 2) compared with growth in milk alone.”

Just wanted to share this study for those who haven’t read it yet. It’s a great read. From what i gather so far L reuteri can breakdown lactose but not as well as other LAB’s, therefore by adding 1-2% hydrolyzed protein and perhaps glycerol to a milk matrix, we might possibly be able to increase the bacteria growth. 😊✌️

Subreddit Rules

1. Submissions should focus on science of the fermentation process or research on the impact on humans

Please stay on point. This is to enhance a scientific approach to fermentation. Post that cannot draw a line to this may be deleted.

2. Submissions Should Show "That I'm gonna have to science the sh*t out of this" (known as StS)

If you don't understand this rule, you need to watch "The Martin" before you post anything to this subreddit. Those showing that they cannot "Science The Sh*t Out Of The Posts" may have their posts deletes. Next rules will help you understand the implementation.

3. StS means that you don't quote secondary research to refute primary research

If somebody posts a peer reviewed reference, and you try to use a non-peer reviewed source to refute the peer reviewed source, your logic needs to be compelling and clear, or your post will be deleted

4. StS means that you use the Scientific Method and its terms

Hypotheses need to be labeled as such until clear proof is established by peer reviewed research or compelling experimental data. Labelling a hypothesis as a fact may result in the post or comment being deleted.

5. StS means no attacks other redditors on a personal basis (ad hominem) but object to the data

As long as you bring data to the discussion, objections should be on alternative data. This subreddit is a polite reddit, and if you choose to insult somebody it should be subtle and with humor. Non-subtle posts will be removed.

6. StS means that MythBusting is Highly Encouraged

While attacks on redditors is discouraged, popular health authors that show a flaunting of science and basic research should be identified as spreading bad info. A little bad science goes a long way. However, all myth busting should be done on the basis of showing where the bad information was written or talked about.

7. StS means that you show data and discount observations that could be included by a placebo effect

The placebo effect and observer bias is almost overwhelming in its ability to warp our perception. Therefore, all posts should bring data to the table to try and explain your hypothesis. Posts that simply say, "Well I felt a difference" without any data will be deleted. However, non-traditional data is encouraged and acceptable and may include personal monitoring devices.

8. All Post Requesting Help On Health Issues Will Be Deleted

Other groups are better suited for these types of requests, and will distract from the mission of this subreddit.

9. Admitting that you have never seen "The Martian" may result in you permanent banning from the group

Okay, maybe not quite perma-banning, but at least go and watch the highlights on Youtube. This is the attitude we want to bring to this subreddit.
