Fermented foods or probiotics? Similarities, differences and their effect on the gut microbiota

By |2021-02-26T09:22:21+02:0002/02/2021|Tags: , , , , , |

Not all fermented foods are probiotics, nor are all probiotics fermented foods Femented foods or drinks such as yogurt, chocolate, sourdough, wine or beer, are foods that have been transformed thanks to controlled growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, and even certain molds. The ability to preserve food and produce new unique flavors and textures has surely been what has long driven humanity to consume food as an important part of our diet. Although gastronomically speaking these reasons have Leer más

An investigation led by Yolanda Sanz seeks to determine the relationship of the intestinal microbiota with the severity of the coronavirus
