Is it all dairy? Just cow’s milk? Goat’s milk? To Dairy Or Not To Dairy. Easy Whey to Prevent LPS Induced Inflammation? Whey Protein Prevents LPS Binding to TRL-4 and IL-8 Production. Surprise: Pressurized Denatured Whey Works Best! - SuppVersity: Nutrition and Exercise Science for Everyone. Saturday's post on saturated fatty acids and their negative effects on post-prandial endotoxemia has turned out to be (un-)surprisingly popular.
I am still not sure if this will be same for the post at hand; and that despite the fact that it revolves around the exact same topic, namely the inflammatory reaction to lipopolysaccharides (LPS). In the case of endotoxins such as LPS, the inflammation, which is, as you all should by now be aware of, an endogenous "alert, defense and repair" reaction of our bodies, is actually triggered by their interaction with the so-called toll-like-receptor. Now scientists from the McGill University in Montreal have found that there is a substance all of you are familiar with and some of you may even be consuming on daily or at least regular basis that can block this interaction, as well as the ensuing overproduction of cytokines and/or other well-meant, but in the end potentially hazardous immune responses.

I have to admit that the last posts about BCAAs, here at SuppVersity.com, were mostly "bad news" for BCAA guzzlers, not because I am biased or like to rant, but simply due to the fact that the studies that have been done lately had negative or no results.
With the publication of the latest study from the Institute of Disease Control and Prevention at the Academy of Military Medical Sciences in Beijing this changed - even if the title, "Metabolic shifts and structural changes in the gut microbiota upon branched‑chain amino acid supplementation in middle‑aged mice" (Yang. 2016) doesn't say anything positive.

Yogurt as a Probiotic, A Review. Yogurt is a “go to” probiotic for many people.
A lot of doctors and pharmacists will advise their patients to eat yogurt when taking an antibiotic. They like it too because it is low in fat and is in a good position on the FDA food pyramid. Why I am Split on Recommending Kefir, A Review. Most people in the health blogosphere focus on the positives of kefir; it is the bee’s knees!
However, what about the negatives of ingesting the probiotic drink? Why do so many of the clients I coach seem to be intolerant of the beverage? It is chocked full of strains of probiotic bacteria and yeast; it should help revitalize the digestive tract, yet is it truly the panacea that everyone praises? What is Kefir?
