How does an antibacterial promote good bacteria
In: Biology
There’s some debate about whether fermented vinegars are actually probiotics as the beneficial bacteria found in probiotics almost never fully survive the human digestive tract, but basically:
Many vinegars like balsamic or apple cider vinegar, in its organic forms have a “mother” like the scoby found in Kombucha. This mother is basically a mass of bacteria that aids in the fermentation of sugars into the acids in vinegar, and these bacteria are considered probiotics. When you drink something like organic apple cider vinegar, you are ingesting that bacteria which is able to survive at high acidity while aiding in the breakdown of sugars, thus aiding in the presence of good gut fauna. Whether those bacteria even survive the stomach acid and enzymes though is questionable
