Diversity, ecology and intestinal function of bifidobacteria

Diversity, ecology and intestinal function of bifidobacteria


Microbial Cell Factories

The human gastrointestinal tract represents an environment which is a densely populated home for a microbiota that has evolved to positively contribute to host health. At birth the essentially sterile gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is rapidly colonized by microorganisms that originate from the mother and the surrounding environment. Within a short timeframe a microbiota establishes within the (breastfed) infant's GIT where bifidobacteria are among the dominant members, although their numerical dominance disappears following weaning. The numerous health benefits associated with bifidobacteria, and the consequent commercial relevance resulting from their incorporation into functional foods, has led to intensified research aimed at the molecular understanding of claimed probiotic attributes of this genus. In this review we provide the current status on the diversity and ecology of bifidobacteria. In addition, we will discuss the molecular mechanisms that allow this intriguing group of bacteria to colonize and persist in the GIT, so as to facilitate interaction with its host.

Planet Organic: better than Prozac?

by George @ George Dryden

I once saw a fridge magnet, which read:

“Don’t dismiss the little things, as in the end, you will realise these were the big things.”

 Not that I’m a fan of bloody fridge magnets (they should be consigned to Room 101, in my view), but the message stayed with me.

At the weekend, I realised how true it was. So forgive me if I ramble a little today, but that’s where I’m at,

By Hippocrates Health Institute | Makes one large jarAs you may know, me and sauerkraut are not best friends. In fact, we’re not even on polite speaking terms. And this caused me a bit of a dilemma, because I was all to aware of the importance of getting a regular (ideally daily) dose of naturally-occurring probiotics in my diet through fermented foods. This traditional South Korean version is the only one I can stomach – less pungent and rubbish-dump-like than sauerkraut,  » Read more about: Hippocrates Kimchee  »

5 no-quibble reasons to eat organic

by George @ George Dryden

Why buy organic food?

It’s a question I get asked on a regular basis.

Sadly – and quite erroneously – the consumption of organic food has for years been associated with the demonstration of affluence. It’s even been referred to as a glib food fad which exists only as a money-spinner for those who peddle it.

As you probably already guessed, that is not a view I share.

And just as chance would have it,

Let’s get physical: 6 reasons why you NEED to exercise

by George @ George Dryden

During my stay at Hippocrates, I was surprised to be told the following:

“You can have the most purest diet imaginable, but if you don’t exercise regularly, you will STILL get sick.”

Blimey, I thought. Really?

I’m lucky. I naturally like exercise. I struggle with sitting still, as the embarrassingly-limited number of films I’ve managed to watch all the way through demonstrates. I’ve yet to watch the Great Escape.

The risky mistake millions of bodybuilders are making

by George @ George Dryden

In my last post, I explained the reasons why exercise is sooo important for the human body.

But just to catch you up if you missed it, in brief summary: it’s because your bodies were designed to move.

So all kudos to those who embrace the concept, and indeed those who make it into something of an art form.

But there’s one aspect of this level of focus which is not good.

MSG: A first-hand horror story

by Administrator @ George Dryden

Originally entitled “Sick to death”, this is the debut post of a friend of mine, who has the most acute sensitivity to monosodium glutamate (MSG) and food additives that I have ever known.

Yes, he’s an extreme case, but as you will see, it’s solid proof that this stuff isn’t doing your insides ANY favours at all. As with gluten, just because you might not notice any backlash as such, the gluten is still working around your body and causing inflammation.

My vegan speed dating debut

by George @ George Dryden

Hey up.

Yes, I know. It’s been a long hiatus. And one of an AWOL nature too.

Soooo much has been going on in my life, some bitter, some sweet, and I just had to take a break.

More of that another day, but for now, I wanted to share with you the before and after aftermath of a (kinda) vegan experience – a first for me.

VegFest London: Get a (much bigger) room!

by George @ George Dryden

So, reader, I went.

To VegFest London, the UK’s largest vegan fair.

And I’m left with mixed feelings.

All in all, it was a positive experience, not least because it was the first time in two years that I have been a dietary majority in a room. And for a whole two and a half hours.

The person I dragged with me was not so lucky, however.

“Advanced Slim Raspberry Ketones” warning: don’t do what I just did

by George @ George Dryden

Every now and then, I do something a bit daft. And a couple of months ago was one such occasion.

I’m nobody’s fool, but in hindsight, I got unintentionally sucked into something. So I’m going to tell you about it hoping that the same thing doesn’t happen to you.

Prepare yourselves for a moan-a-thon. It’s gonna be a long one.

As you know, my level of physical activity has temporarily plummeted somewhat recently.

Roundup: what gardeners and garden centres NEED to hear

by George @ George Dryden

If you’re a regular reader, you already know my feelings about Roundup, and, more specifically, about Monsanto, its manufacturers.

But I’m centring today’s post on Roundup, because of a petition recently pinged to me by www.sumofus.org.

Let’s be clear here: Roundup is the most widely-used weed killer in the world. I hazard a guess that either you are using this yourself, or its active ingredient, under a different brand name (as I will explain in a moment).

Product Review: Cleveland Kraut

Probiotics are ALL the rage!  Everywhere you look, there’s a new article in the latest health magazines on gut health and why you should be taking the latest and great probiotic supplement.

Are you SURE your cosmetics are cruelty-free? Prepare for a shock or two.

So: cosmetics and animal testing. A volatile topic, no less. And one which, as I have recently discovered, is still shrouded in mystery and half truths.

Today, you could be in for a shock.

The Source

Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown that taking a probiotic before radiation therapy can protect the intestine from damage — at least in mice. Their study suggests that taking a probiotic also may help cancer patients avoid intestinal injury, a common problem in those receiving radiation therapy for abdominal cancers.
