Probiotic bacteria may work by beneficially changing the lipid profile in the intestine, suggests a new study from Finland. The researchers investigated the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus and found that it decreased levels of lysophosphatidylcholines and sphingomyelins in the guts of the subjects. According to the article, these lipids have been linked to hardening of the arteries and inflammatory bowel disease.
Dom's site says that Lactobacillus rhamnosus is found in milk kefir. Drink up!
