"…there are trillions of these microbes in the lower part of our gut, that are community, and they are really like a community of chemical factories, and if you think of them in that way, like mini-pharmacies, that change the food you eat into amazing chemicals that have all these effects, all over our body…"
Pof. Tim Spector
