Re: Re:Kefir drinking during pregnancy?

Hi Darla,

I never detect any alcohol in my kefir, but I make it aerobically. I never

torque down the lid so that " fizz " is created. I know some people like fizzy

kefir, but I'm not sure making anaerobically is good for the kefir grains.

Not that it damages them that much but I want the best environment for my

little pets. And I don't want alcohol either.

I cannot imagine that there is enough alcohol in kefir to be harmful. The

" no-alcohol-at-all " during pregnancy thing is overkill in general --- a couple

of glasses of wine a week is certainly fine for most people, and kefir's got a

lot less in it.
