Follow the story from The People's Pharmacy, Bowel Bacteria as a Source of Inflammation:
Inflammation is the driver behind many chronic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, psoriasis and others. But where is the inflammation coming from? Perhaps our standard American diet plays a role. It turns out that we can influence the ecology of our microbiota by what we feed it. Find out what foods can help calm inflammation, and how this affects neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, autism or multiple sclerosis. |

Scientific American has published many articles that describe the link between the gut biome and overall health. Fiber-Famished Gut Microbes Linked to Poor Health and Mental Health May Depend on Creatures in the Gut. The collective genome of our inhabitant commensals is at least 150 times greater than our own genetic material--and most live in our gut. That alone speaks to the power of understanding the interplay between our immune systems and the resident microbes. Data about the prevelance of antibiotics in our food, healthcare systems, as well as high-sugar diets have resulted in a shift in our microbial communities--and not for the better.
