Kimchi is my favorite.

Yeah, there's certainly a balance.

And cheese is certainly included in many healthy dietary recommendations.

Maybe on the fermented food space and showing that it has health benefits associated with being fermented, I'd say there's maybe less evidence to support that, but certainly not a bad food.

But yeah, excess of anything is a problem.

Uh, alcohol is not on the list.

Um, of course there's the, you know, a bit of evidence that, uh, some wines, particularly red wine is, has some, uh, benefits associated with it, but, uh, certainly it's not something to increase consumption of for, for health outcomes.

Um, and, uh, you know, I, I also do a bit of work in, in, uh, spontaneous beer fermentation and, uh, sometimes people are always saying, well, maybe it's good for you because it's, you know, got more complexity of microbes in spontaneous beer, but I,

I always warn them that maybe it's slightly better than a regular beer, but we have no evidence to say that's the case.

I guess so.

Yeah, I think there's two things.

One is always fiber is good for you, but also then the incorporation of some fermented foods and it adds some nice diversity, maybe gets us away from some things that are maybe less good for us.

My pleasure.

Thanks for having me.
