[edit] Fermentation
I believe this thing is also used for fermentation, eg making yogurt. Maybe someone could mention that. Kappa 22:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ThreeLac and FiveLac
ThreeLac and FiveLac are two probiotic products, supposedly produced in Japan, which are distributed in the United States, at least, by Global Health Trax. The products contain enterococcus faecalis, as one of the three/five bacteria which are supposed to be health promoting agents. The product is specifically marketed as beneficial for candida albicans overgrowth.
If enterococcus faecalis is considered a pathogen which can cause serious infections, then why is the FDA allowing thousands of people to buy and consume it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.221.25 (talk) 03:24, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
