Facinating research into stomach bacteria and it’s role in fat storage. Chek out this blurb:
“Gordon and Backhed base their claim on a study of two groups of mice, one exposed to normal intestinal microbes and another raised in a germ-free bubble. The germ-free mice had 42 percent less body fat, even though they were fed one-third more calories. When the animals were inoculated with bacteria from their normal counterparts, the bubble mice increased their body fat by 57 percent in just two weeks”
So that’s why I always lost weight when I was on antibiotics! Ok that’s drawing conclusions, but it’s still pretty interesting.
