The #1 cause of candida is not really a mystery. You’ll find it listed in the 62,000+ studies on PubMed, the National Institutes Library of Medicine. You’ll find it in every hospital and medical office. It’s antibiotics! It’s not sugar, hormone replacement therapy, diabetes, stress, mercury, or sex. Sure, each one of those can help support the growth of candida, but they don’t cause it. Antibiotics are the #1 cause of candida.
