Episode 3052: Dr. Neal Malik breaks down the myth of tequila as a probiotic by digging into what science actually says not just popular claims. Learn the truth about blue agave, the real sources of gut-friendly fiber, and how moderation and lifestyle still trump shortcuts when it comes to health. Quotes to ponder: "Sadly, the findings were disappointing, the research does not support the use of daily tequila shots to help promote the health of our microbiome." "Blue agave nectar doesn't have enough fiber to promote the health of our intestines." "Tequila likely does not act like a probiotic, so it doesn't promote the growth of good bacteria in our intestines."
