Most people are probably aware that wine is fermented by

yeast and most people are unaware that wine that goes bad and turns into vinegar,

this has happened because bacteria are actually responsible for turning things into vinegar.

On the broad side, we take you into the heart of the South, with stories that'll surprise you.

Bigfoot apparently loves glowsticks.

He likes to party, I guess.

Exactly, he's a raver.

And topics that dig into the muddy margins of history.

Wait a second, this is actually real.

From WUNC and the NPR Network, listen to the Broadside,

a podcast from the Crossroads of the South.

Bacterial fermentation in general is how vinegars are made. Now, one of the most important

vinegar components is acetic acid.

Now, I've written and talked about acetic acid a lot.

Acetic acid, or acetate, is a short chain fatty acid.

And these short chain fatty acids are incredibly important for our well-being,

for our mitochondrial well-being, for our brain well-being. And one of the things we've learned

that you probably learned in unlocking the keto code or my new book gut gut check is the best, the most important short chain fatty acid is another compound

called butyrate or butyric acid.
