I absolutely love the fact that the AH coconut oil is Fair Trade. I wish that all coffee, chocolate, and coconut oil was Fair Trade! Alas, I found that the AH coconut oil had a certain taste I didn't quite like. Not sure why, but I found the Nutiva to be much more to my liking. Both are minimally processed and virgin certified organic - so that is good. Hello Maya :)

The actual dosage for kefir varies depending upon the individual, but 1 cup a day is a good start and what I usually recommend to my clients. If you have digestive issues or have had a dose of antibiotics then taking probiotic capsules is warranted. Although I do not know the actual amounts of bacteria in the Pinehedge kefir brand the generally accepted data suggested that there are as high as 10 billion cfu/ml in freshly made kefir. Hope that answers your questions :) Hi Mimi,

Would it be necessary to take probiotics capsules? I was also wondering what was the amount of bacteria in the pinehedge farms kefir. Thanks!

I didnt even mention all the reasons to eat organic due to GMO. That is perhaps more important than eating organic for nutrient content. That will be another post sometime. Thanks for you interest. We try to eat organic as much as possible at home - and locally grown/ripened. Thanks Mr. Shane! I didnt even mention all the reasons to eat organic due to GMO.

I will be doing just that. I have been doing a lot of background research on probiotics and will be posting on that shortly. The science is compelling - like heart attacks severity is moderated by bacterial influences in the gut (Intestinal microbiota determine severity of myocardial infarction in rats. FASEB J., 2012 DOI: 10.1096/fj.11-197921). Pretty amazing stuff! Thanks Shane!

I'd like to see a post on suggested sources of probiotics. Either supplement style, or natural in food (yogurts or other) - maybe even let us know the best brands, the best one to look for etc. What to be careful of when looking for probiotics etc. :) Hey Dave,
