Fermented Foods
Let’s go back in time,before refrigeration was invented. For millennia in various parts of the globe,you would take your last crop of the season and,in order to survive another winter,throw the fruits and vegetables into pots. These harvests would then undergo a mysterious process that prevented total decomposition and instead preserved the foods. In Russia,for example,they threw cabbages into vats and let them dissolve until they were practically mush,creating what we know as sauerkraut.
This fermentation was critical—without it,people would have starved to death. No one had a supermarket to pop into on their way home from work,or a freezer or refrigerator to preserve their food supply.
In the present day,fermented foods have taken on a revered status—they’re celebrated as a boon to health. That’s not quite correct.
There’s a misconception that because fermented foods helped humans along for thousands of years,they have health benefits. Truth is,fermented foods were about survival. A self-preserved food was the difference between life and death by starvation. It’s better to view these edibles as an important historical stopgap,rather than as a health aid.
The so-called probiotics in fermented foods are not life-giving. The bacteria in them thrive off the decay process—in other words,they thrive off death,not life. When an animal dies in the woods,the bacteria that start to engulf its flesh are in the same category as the bacteria used to preserve fermented foods of all kinds.
They’re in a different category of bacteria from the beneficial type we covered earlier in this chapter. The elevated microorganisms on living fruits and vegetables thrive on life,and are therefore restorative to your gut,because we are alive. They have a life force that the bacteria in fermented foods do not.
When we think of beneficial bacteria,we often think about yogurt. We’ve been conditioned to believe that the probiotics in yogurt support our gut health. If you’re struggling with a health condition,though,yogurt is not a positive food to consume;dairy feeds all manner of ills. Plus,if it’s pasteurized yogurt,the pasteurization process has killed the probiotics anyway. The beneficial bacteria that do thrive in raw,living yogurt cannot withstand hydrochloric acid and therefore die in the stomach,never reaching the intestinal tract.
The vast majority of fermented foods—kimchi,sauerkraut,salami,pepperoni,soy sauce,kombucha tea,and so on—breed bacteria from foods that are no longer alive. Such bacteria are useless for your gut.
For most people,these bacteria do no harm;they’re simply passed through the digestive tract and quickly expelled by the body as unnecessary. I’m not opposed to consuming them.
Some people’s bodies respond more harshly,however,perceiving the bacteria as foreign invaders and overreacting in efforts to banish them. This can result in bloating,stomach pain,gas,nausea,and/or diarrhea. Even if this occurs,though,it’s a temporary situation that ends once the bacteria’s flushed out.
So if you like fermented foods,it’s fine to keep eating them for their unique flavor. And if fermented foods upset your stomach,or if you just don’t like them,don’t eat them. They don’t provide a lot of health benefits to your gut.
And if you think they have major benefits,you’re being misled. The hydrochloric acid in our guts is extremely sensitive to the bacteria on fermented foods,so it kills the unproductive bacteria even if it’s harmless;it sees it as the enemy. This is in stark contrast to the life-giving bacteria from freshly picked living foods. The beneficial bacteria on a piece of kale straight from the garden is virtually indestructible by hydrochloric acid—so that’s where you should turn your focus if you’re looking for the true boon to gut health.
