Still Waters Posted May 14, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Bacteria that live in the gut have been used to reverse obesity and Type-2 diabetes in animal studies. Research, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed that a broth containing a single species of bacteria could dramatically alter the health of obese mice. It is thought to change the gut lining and the way food is absorbed. Similar tests now need to be take place in people to see if the same bacteria can be used to shed the pounds. http://www.bbc.co.uk...health-22458428 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
