I am looking up food based alternatives to biofilm busters, specifically fermented, cultured foods. Wanting to know if there are naturally occuring biofilm busters in cultiured foods.. still looking for that info..
What I did find was this article by Donna Gates of the Body Ecology Diet:
http://bodyecology.com/articles/the-truth-about-probiotic
She explains that when you consume food based probiotics, you include the biofilm that they need to establish and grow.
This makes me side in favor of food based beneficial bacteria (for now) and makes me wonder... when we take enzymes to bust up biofilm in the gut or elsewhere (sine we ingenst the enzymes), then are we also busting up the biofilm communities that hold our beneficial bacteria together?
