I drink lifeway kefir right now. It IS pasteurized unfortunately so my question is this. Does the process of culturing this product, since it claims to have many beneficial bacteria in it, make it safe to consume? If no then am I better off just dumping it all together?
no one?
I don't think I understand your question exactly. Is the product safe to consume?
Yes, is it safe to consume. I know Dr.Mercola is against pasteurizing milk, but does the same apply for kefir?
Oh, good question I do not know the answer to this either. I make my own Kefir currently, but use regular pasterized milk so I would be intersted to hear opinions on this also.
I am positive I recently read an article by Dr. Mercola that included pasteurized kefir in the no no category. I can't find the article though :( I took special notice of the comment as I LOVE Lifeway Pomegranate Kefir - argh.
ANy answers yet on this? My son (18) has been using lifeway kefir for a year and half with great results with severe lactose intolerance. I drink it also.
