"ARE GUT BACTERIA IN CHARGE?"



Reading this really opened my eyes. I thought about it so much. This post is about how bacteria in our gut could be controlling our lives more then we thought it could.

The Researchers made tests to mice to see if it was true. Mice that have gut microbes tend to eat more then mice with out gut microbes.

 "Experiments have shown that mice with no gut microbes show differences in how much they move and in their anxiety-like behavior than mice with normal gut bacteria. Mice treated with "probiotic" Lactobacillus bacteria showed a different gene expression in the brain, reduced anxiety behavior and stress hormone levels than untreated mice" When I read this, I was surprised by how important gut microbes would be for mice/us. Without it, we would diffidently be very different.

 Like it says up there, "bacteria in out guts may play a well beyond helping us to digest food' I find this really interesting because normally it would be our stomach acid digesting our food but now it could also be the bacteria in our gut.

I find this post very interesting, well to me. I would love to learn more about this. So I will diffidently be checking that site out to see if they ever talk about guy bacteria again.

"Creative Common" is a another "All Rights Reserved"  but with some extra stuff, instead of not being able to do anything with the "All Rights Reserved" image, "Creative Commons" lets you use the image and you may do what you want with it unless it is stated that you cant. The theme I chose is Green. Below is six images relating to my theme and each image has a different "Creative Commons".

What is the purpose of a Blog?

Blogs have three purposes, they are to entertain, inform, and to persuade. Below is what I believe that fits into each topic.


http://www.eurogamer.net/ and 1000awesomethings.com are both blogs that are to entertain.

I chose these two blogs because they both have information that catches your eye and is very entertaining. The first site has information on upcoming games, some games that are scary, or fun, and they also have videos. The second site has pretty much what the URL says, it has one thousand random facts that are very entertaining, some are funny, others are weird.


lifehacker.com and www.engadget.com are both blogs that are to inform.

I then chose these two blogs because the information presented is very interesting. In the first site I chose, it is full of ways to "cheat" life, some of the things they write in there are very interesting. In the second site that I have chose, it is full of information about electronic devices. It is very useful and full of stuff that any reader will be interested in.

redstate.com and http://www.michaelmoore.com/blogger/mmflint/ are both blogs that are to persuade.

These two blogs are both blogs that fit into the topic persuade because they are both in a perspective of one person. The first blog is about people that would like to say in their point of view of all the recent news. The second blog is about a guy named Michael Moore, he likes to blog things about his life pretty much, so its in his point of view as well.
