npr Fresh Air - August 18, 2016Ed Yong, author of I Contain Multitudes, says someday we might be able to improve our health by taking probiotics, but "we are still in the very early stages of working out how to do this."
I found these interviews quite interesting, as this research into microbes could lead to a better tomorrow for us all.
Excerpt From: Ed Yong. “I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life.”“If I went to a library and lobbed a microbiology textbook out the window, I could easily concuss a passer-by. If I tore out all the pages that dealt with beneficial microbes, I could just about give someone a nasty paper cut. The narrative of disease and death still dominates our view of microbiology.”
