What Happens to the Food We Eat
The digestive tract is 25 to 30 feet in length, it starts at the mouth and ends at the rectum. Digestion is a complex process, turning the food we eat into energy we need to survive. It begins in the mouth and while enzymes are being added during the chewing phase it is also sending signals to the stomach to prepare the digestive juices needed to break down foods for absorption.

Bonding and Social Behavior.
…..some strains of lactobacillus have been shown to increase the production of oxytocin, a hormone that is important for social bonding and maternal behavior. Other strains of bacteria, such as bifidobacteria, have been shown to modulate the immune system in a way that promotes a state of relaxation and reduces anxiety. Continue reading

Mental Health and Emotions
Research has shown that the microbes in the gut can produce neurotransmitters such as serotonin, which is important for regulating mood. Changes in the composition of the gut microbiome have also been linked to changes in behavior and mood. Continue reading

Pimples and Bacteria
In a world where beauty and perfection is desired, we often cannot resist the urge to pop a pimple. These nasty zits usually appear without warning just in time before a party, an important function, or a date. They can … Continue reading
The Magic of Chocolate
Why do some foods like chocolate, wine, or cheese taste so delicious? Fermenting magically transforms their original ingredients into something more desirable. Besides improving flavor, some soured and fermented foods such as yogurts, kefir, and sauerkraut also strengthen the immune system. Continue reading

Biological Warfare
Biological or Bio-Warfare is the use of biological pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi and toxins) derived from living organisms to kill or incapacitate one’s enemy. From poisoned arrows (Scythians, and later the Viet Cong guerillas) to poisoned wells (Sparta, Persia, Rome … Continue reading

Modern Microbiology in Food Production
Microbiology is important to food safety, production, processing, preservation, and storage. Microbes such as bacteria, molds, and yeasts are employed for the production of wine, vinegar, beer, bakery, and dairy products. Nature uses microorganisms to carry out fermentation processes and microbial food … Continue reading

Micro-organisms shaping human civilization
Micro-organisms existed long before humans evolved, and bacterial/viral diseases co-evolved as human species were serving as involuntary hosts. It is interesting how closely these micro-organisms evolved with us over the millennia shaping human civilization through infection, disease and deadly pandemics. … Continue reading

Bacteria and Decay
The life of bacteria is built around food. These micro-organisms don’t have traditional mouths to feed, but they eat, they digest and they excrete waste and they break down their food into its more elemental components to facilitate absorption. We … Continue reading

What is a Leaky Gut?
A leaky gut is exactly what it implies – intestinal permeability. Let’s imagine that you have a system that regulates what is beneficial to your health and what can do damage. This is our own immune system which is in … Continue reading
Microbes in the Colon
Our colon is very important in keeping us hydrated and in helping us manage the mixture of partially digested foods. Here the body is extracting water from this mixture as it is pushed and squeezed along. Large amounts of microbes … Continue reading

Stages of Bacterial Growth
The growth of bacterial populations occurs in several stages – termed lag, log, stationary and death. During the lag phase, active metabolic activity occurs, but no growth. During the log phase, metabolic activity is increased and most intense and cell … Continue reading

Microbes – Intuitive Communicators
Trillions of microbes inhabit the human body. Most of them are living in our digestive system and are beneficial to both, the microbes and the host. Depending on the nutrients and the environment we provide a variety of species can … Continue reading

The Microscopic World
Scientific interest into the microscopic world resulted in a dramatic change of medicine known as Germ Theory, the identification that some diseases were caused by microbes or micro-organisms.
