"ARE GUT BACTERIA IN CHARGE?"

"The bacteria in our gut may be controlling our lives more than we ever realized.

In the latest findings, published today in Nature, a link between gut bacteria and the development of multiple sclerosis in mice was shown. Studies have also examined gut bacteria in relation to obesity, depression and much more.

More human studies are emerging hinting at the role the bacteria in our guts may play well beyond helping us to digest our food." 

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.
