Kefir's Benefits Have Been Known for Centuries: More than 1000 years ago, shepherds of the Caucasus Mountains (near the former border of Russia and Turkey) discovered that fresh milk carried in leather pouches would sometimes ferment into an effervescent, healthy, delicious kefir. The shepherds cultivated the, process, and the resulting drink came to be known as kefir. Legend has it that shepherds who ate kefir were known to have a very long and healthy life span - over 100 years old was not out of the ordinary. Word spread of its reported value in treating tuberculosis as well as stomach and intestinal disorders. Kefir became known as a gift from the prophets and the regional shepherds protected its recipe. It remained secret until the 19th century, the first scientific studies of the health benefits of kefir were published in Russia during the late 1800's. Today, there are many documented studies that promote the benefits of kefir, including stimulation of the immune system, enhancement of lactose digestion, lowering of cholesterol levels, and the inhibition of tumors, fungi and pathogens (including bacteria that cause most ulcers).

Testimonial of Dr. Marlin Grimes: The world of micro-organisms has always intrigued me. As a food scientist, I was familiar with food processing and microorganism dependent preservation. In 1993, the benefit of these organisms became very apparent to me when I had my large intestines removed due to a cancerous condition. Upon recovery from the operation and cessation of antibiotics, my intestines were in trauma and my immune system in shambles. A professor at the University of Maryland sent me a small kefir culture and suggested I make kefir part of my diet. Within days, my intestinal issues were gone and a healthy immune system returned. That's why, when approached by Latta to assist in their kefir production, I said yes - it matched my interest, belief and passion.
