And a ferment is also an ecosystem. So it achieves a balance. And it's made up of all of these living microorganisms that include bacteria and yeasts. And through that balance, they are actively consuming and transforming components of that food that you have exposed them to. What they are depends. Like, are we talking about sauerkraut? Are we talking about kombucha? Are we talking about yogurt?

There's different things that are being consumed in each of those cases. But basically what they're doing is they're consuming things within that food and they're changing it. They're transforming it. So the end result is not just about the microbes. That is a part of the story. That you have living microbes. But it's also the transformation that took place within the food.

An example of this is sourdough bread. You kill the microbes. And yet, despite this, I would argue that a high quality sourdough bread from nice flour is the healthiest bread that exists. It's lower in gluten content. It actually reduces the glyphosate content and enhances the absorption of fiber, of protein. So it increases the vitamins that are there.

So we get all of these benefits that come from the transformation that the food undergoes as a result of these microbes. In essence, what they're doing within that jar or whatever it may be within that ecosystem is they are slowly digesting the food in the same way that our body would digest the food, but we're giving them more time to really do it and transform it.

I think there's been a generational decay that's taking place in the quality of our microbiome. So I think it's been happening over time. And so forgive me because I'm going to cheat a little bit because my number one would be the absence of dietary fiber.

element that could help even maybe withstand some a lot of these insults that are coming from our environment and other things that are there that's exactly right and there was research done so i just moment ago mentioned a moment ago the fermented food study out of stanford with the sonnenbergs the sonnenbergs also did a study which was a generational mouse study because you can't do this study in humans it just would you know i mean it would take like 70 years to do

So they did a generational mouse study where they deprived the mice of dietary fiber. And what they found was that there was a generational decay that took place in the diversity of species within their gut. Now, when they added fiber back, say, three or four generations in, when they added fiber back in, there was some saving that was accomplished.
