The 4-Hour Body - An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman - Timothy Ferriss
A 2008 study at Duke University found that giving Splenda to rats
signi cantly decreased the amount of helpful bacteria in the gut. Once again, the fake
sugars turn out just as bad as, if not worse than, the real deal.
2. Go fermented. Dr. Weston Price is famous for his studies of 12 traditional diets of near-
disease-free indigenous communities spread around the globe. He found that the one
common element was fermented foods, which were consumed daily. Cultural mainstays
varied but included cheese, Japanese natto, ke r, kimchi (also spelled "kimchee"),
sauerkraut, and fermented sh. Unsweetened plain yogurt and fermented kombucha tea
are two additional choices. Fermented foods contain high levels of healthy bacteria and
should be viewed as a mandatory piece of your dietary puzzle. I consume ve forkfuls of
sauerkraut each morning before breakfast and also add kimchi to almost all home-cooked
meals.
