{patiently chuckling} Yes, BBH, twelve servings, six cups. The goal. You probably won't always be able to do that many, but it is great for your body. Now does the "poopin' 2-3 times a day" thing make more sense??? The USDA's 5-9 servings suggestion was going to be much more, but they didn't want to overwhelm the poor widdle public, who might just give up veggies altogether! Disbiosis doesn't stand a chance with that many veggies.
Dace, yogurt is to Clark Kent what kefir is to Superman. If you can get some grains and make your own, it is worth it. If you are buying kefir in the health food store, it is not nearly as good as homemade, so you could just stick to yogurt. Yogurt has 3-5 beneficial cultures and kefir had 30-50, plus other stuff that the nerds can't even figure out. But my new dog with the skin issues (clearing up!) now cries for it every night when I strain the milk and strain the kefir and make a new batch. He knows it is good....he gets a little plain milk in the morning and his response to kefir is very different. He gets 1/4 to 1/2 cup every night now. And he is only a skinny 18 lbs. Animals don't lie!
