> ...you need to manage your diet and drink kefir to consume the intake sugar... For others wondering, drinking kefir does not "consume the intake sugar" as in consuming all the extraneous blood sugar, though there is a statistically significant but still smallish effect upon Type 2 diabetics. What is actually happening is not precisely known yet, but the conjectured mechanism is beneficial alteration of the gut microbiome [1]. Like general fitness, the "manage your diet" part is the key. Fix satiation issues (physiological and psychological) surrounding that intake of calories, and then it does become "as easy as" CICO. As an aside, this study came out of Iran, which is good to see in our over-polarized world geopolitical situation.
