--Bacteria--Parasites--Fungus--Fungi--

Hi Crazyakta,

Your quote: "The acidity of buttermilk explains its long refrigerator shelf life. Acid is a natural preservative because it inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria."

i thought acidity harbors bacteria and parasites?

End of your quote.

Answer: When a person does "NOT" understand even the Basics of Life and how it functions on the Base Level as in the Acid Alkaline pH Balancing Principles, as is this case, then the Reason so "MANY" people may have trouble of grasping "WHY" things may be as they are !

As I have commented many times that the Acid Alkaline pH Balancing Principles control "Everything" in the entire universe, or may we say that there is "Nothing" which is not controled by these Principles in the entire universe !

Now back to your question and the answer as "WHY" !

Bacteria and Fungi are two opposites, providing the cycles of Life with Balance in the Acid Alkaline pH cycles !

Bacteria Creates Acids as they work on and Break down Life as it may be called !

Fungi Creates an Alkaline condition as it works to break down Life in it's cycles !

Both are needed to Create Life of a Carbohydrate Base, which may produce Humus or may one say a Live Carbon Based Organic Soil Life to support the Rest of Life on Earth !

Without this built in system of self-regulation, Life as we know it on Planet Earth would soon "Cease" to Exist !

In other words people would "ALL" "Die" off !

"WHY" would this happen ?

It would happen, because without this Balance of control, the bacteria would "Eat" and Destroy every Living thing on the Planet and turn it into Hydrocarbons !

What good would "ALL" the Oil in the world be, if there were "NO" one to use it ?

For left unchecked, Bacteria may take the Decay process of Organic matter down into the Hydrocarbon cycle and enter into the Benzene forms of matter, which is where that Crude Oil is at !

So, what we have is that the bacteria , in the process of Breaking down organic matter, Cause the media to become very Acidic , thus Causing Life functions to "STOP" functioning, thus Causing a Preservation to take place !

Just look at apple cider vinegar and how it keeps so very nice without refrigeration, this is because of it's Acidity !

What happens is that when the Bacteria have Decayed or broken the organic matter down to an Acidic Level Low enough, then these bacteria have done their job, and they "STOP" working and the media is preserved in this Acidic state !

But if the Correct conditions may come to exist , then the Fungi may come in and work to Raise the pH of this Acidic media, for it is the job of the Fungi to Balance the pH of the Media, to "STOP" the Life media from becomming too Acidic and "STOP" Living , thus going into a State of Preservation !

As far as what are Bacteria and Parasites ?

I guess it depends upon what a person understands about the cycle of Life as to what one may call them to be ?

For, if you look at Nature and see when an animal may get cut, etc and flies may lay eggs on the wound and then Larve may eat the Rotting Flesh to clean it out and then the wound may come to Heal, "if" there is enough of a supply of Alkaline Minerals in the animals Diet to provide for the Rebuilding of it's own Flesh, so that it may Recover and Heal it's wound !

But, if the animal does "NOT" get the needed Alkaline Minerals in it's Diet to help it's body Rebuild and Repair it's self, then this animal may become too Acidic and "DIE" from it's wounds !

For then the Bacteria may be Considered "Parasites" ?

Human-beings may have the "SAME" Problem !

Thus the cycles of Life go on !

Isn't that so Simple ?

Smile Tis your choice.
