When carbohydrates, aspirin, salt, unhealthy chemicals, or alcohol are absorbed by the body, the mucoid plaque is produced to envelop the toxins. It's the body's effort to isolate the toxic substances from the body's lining and to try to help pass the wawste. Even though it's trying to protect itself, producing mucoid plaque actually gets in the way of regular digestion. In fact, it's common to experience constipation with the build-up of mucoid plaque in the colon.

Good bacteria (probiotics) aid in food digestion, increases the production of antibodies, and helps to prevent the buildup of any toxins in the colon.
