Cotton Top,
The reason that kefir is advertised as being beneficial for cystic fibrosis is because in patients with cystic fibrosis, many of the pancreatic enzymes needed to break down and absorb fats in the intestine are absent, causing a condition known as “malabsorption.” This is the inadequate absorption of nutrients from the intestinal tract. It is the result of an underlying problem that causes the digestive process to stall. Partially digested particles pass through the gastrointestinal system without supplying important nutrients to the bloodstream. Kefir is a cultured, enzyme-rich food filled with friendly micro-organisms that help balance your “inner ecosystem.” More nutritious and therapeutic than yogurt, it supplies complete protein, essential minerals, and valuable B vitamins. Kefir culture is unique among fermented milk starters in that it is composed from a mixture of friendly bacteria and yeasts that harmoniously co-exist. The microbes break down the lactose in milk and the other chemical components, contributing to the taste and transformation of milk to Kefir. Both kefir and yogurt are cultured milk products but they contain different types of beneficial bacteria. Yogurt contains transient beneficial bacteria that keep the digestive system clean and provide food for the friendly bacteria that reside there. But kefir can actually colonize the intestinal tract, a feat that yogurt cannot match. Kefir contains several major strains of friendly bacteria not commonly found in yogurt, Lactobacillus Caucasus, Leuconostoc, Acetobacter species, and Streptococcus species. It also contains beneficial yeasts, such as Saccharomyces kefir and Torula kefir, which dominate, control and eliminate destructive pathogenic yeasts in the body. They do so by penetrating the mucosal lining where unhealthy yeast and bacteria reside that cleans and strengthens the intestines. Hence, the body becomes more efficient in resisting such pathogens as E. coli and intestinal parasites. Kefir’s active yeast and bacteria provide more nutritive value than yogurt by helping digest the foods that you eat and by keeping the colon environment clean and healthy. Because the curd size of kefir is smaller than yogurt, it is also easier to digest, which makes it a particularly excellent, nutritious food for babies, invalids and the elderly, as well as a remedy for digestive disorders.
