Characterizing the “Healthy†Vagina
For years, researchers characterized the microbial community of women’s vaginas as being dominated by Lactobacillus bacteria, which ferment carbohydrates to lactic acid, yielding a low pH that is toxic to many pathogenic microbes. When levels of Lactobacillus drop, the pH becomes more neutral, and the risk of infection rises.
But with research revealing notable variation among women’s vaginal microbiomes, as well as some interesting dynamics of the microbial communities within a single organ, “that dogma is changing a little bit,†said Gregory Buck of the Vaginal Microbiome Consortium at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).
The composition and stability of the vaginal microbiome varies by race, age, even within an individual—and it’s quickly become clear that the formula for a “normal,†“healthy†microbial community cannot be computed by ratios of bacterial species. “In the past we’ve made some generalizations about what kinds of bacteria are found in the vagina, what kinds of bacteria are good or healthy or protective,†said microbial ecologist Larry Forney of the University of Idaho. “What the research is showing is there are tremendous differences between women in terms of the kinds of bacteria that are present and the changes in the communities that occur over time.â€
...
The researchers also found that the composition of a woman’s vaginal microbiome was linked to her race. Eighty percent of Asian women and nearly 90 percent of white women harbored vaginal microbiomes that were dominated by Lactobacillus, while only about 60 percent of Hispanic and black women did. Moreover, vaginal pH varied with ethnicity as well, with Hispanic and black women averaging 5.0 and 4.7, respectively, and Asian and white women averaging 4.4 and 4.2. “There is a racial difference in the vaginal environment and the microbial in parallel,†said Buck.

Did you read that?

White privilege: what can't it do?

3. Because VAGINA!!!!
Can't believe you have to ask.
It's like ****ing romper room in here.
Have you tried acting like an adult?
Mind you, these are the sub-humans who applaud the video taping and public display of an abortion but damned if you can discuss in clinical terms vaginal health.

21. I wonder if this research involved creating new cheeses?

I'm sure RedGash is well on her way.

Vaginal Microbiome Consortium at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU)
I submitted a paper for that conference.
"If It Smells Like Fish, You Know It's a Dish"- Correlation between Vaginal Flora and Olfactory Triggers Of Mating Behavior.
I don't know why they rejected it. Douchebags.

Characterizing the “Healthy†Vagina
A healthy vagina is like a healthy field.
It should be plowed, fertilized, and tended to regularly.

So Asian and White snappers are cleaner?

That's what I got out of it.
Lactobacillus-rich vaginas = healthy vaginas, as defined in the study.
90% of white women, 80% of Asian women, 60% of Hispanic women, and 60% of black women have healthy vaginas.

Now Vesta will be along any second to tell us all about uncircumcised penises.

12. Race is a social construct.
This research is bullshit.

22. Really? Do you think genetics are just fantasy too?
What other sciences do you dismiss?
What next, going to tell us people choose to be homosexual?
Predictable as sunrise.

There are genetic differences in the races other than skin color.....but we can't talk about that, it would be racist.

I don't imaging that a liberal woman (?) knows what a douche is. They believe in that natural order of things.

That was my take-away from it.
I remember reviewing Big Dog's paper, my take-away from it was "If it smells nasty, it is; if it smells delicious, it probably is."

Ah, the lonely life of scientists.

Ahhh clam up DUmmie. Way to snatch the words from the liberal playbooks lips.

BS if she does . . . :mad: :tongue:

The very headline itself made me feel violated all over.
That's funny with Quagmire up there though.^^ :lmao:

The smartest, most intelligent liberal forum on the internet can't manage to discuss a simple issue like bacteria culture without bringing out the knives.
These people are idiots.

Not only that, but it appears women's vaginas are also racist.
What's a DUmmie to do? :lmao:

Waiting to hear what Gnads can offer. She must surely know all there is to know about vaginas - and wishes she didn't.

I'm pretty sure it isn't a Good Rig.
Anyway, the nutcase has been scarce at the DUmp for a while.
I thought she was maybe incommunicado in the shithole south of Texas, but maybe not.
It seems she's been busy on her goofy blog, putting up a big new title.

I doubt access to her crazy bald writing will be free for much longer.
Get ready to shell out for knowledge.
