An Imbalanced Digestive Tract Contributes to Obesity

A fascinating study shows that children lacking good digestive bacteria at birth were much more likely to become overweight by age 7 compared to children with healthy levels of friendly digestive bacteria.

Friendly Flora Prevents Tissue Destruction

An interesting study shows that friendly flora (lactic acid bacteria or acidophilus) helps prevent the destruction of important structural components of the digestive tract (chondroitin sulfates and hyaluronic acid). For many years I have observed that individuals who eat too much sugar or who have an imbalanced digestive tract have an increase in joint pains and aches. I have seen this issue cause serious problems, including arthritis in children.

Acidophilus, H. Pyloria, and Your Stomach

A new understanding of Helicobacter pylori and its mode of operation may save numerous Americans from stomach ulcer and general heartburn and indigestion.

Friendly Flora Protect Against Type I Diabetes

A new study shows that a lack of friendly flora in the digestive tract can set the stage for developing incorrect immune system training that in turn causes the immune system to attack the pancreas, leading to Type I Diabetes. This problem can be prevented by having adequate friendly flora in your digestive tract.

Study Links H. pylori to Causing Stomach Cancer

A new study highlights just how vital it is to maintain healthy balance in your digestive tract. The researchers found that a single inflammatory signal resulting from too much H. pyloria is adequate to drive processes that result in stomach cancer, the second leading cause of cancer mortality around the world.

Friendly Flora Reduces Abdominal Obesity Following Pregnancy

The balance of power within your digestive tract has a considerable impact on your metabolism. A new study of pregnant women shows that taking probiotics, the friendly flora that need to be in your gut in adequate amounts, significantly reduced the risk for abdominal obesity following pregnancy.

Gut Problems Associated with Fatty Liver

Normally we think of adverse accumulation of fat in the liver being caused by excess alcohol and over-eating. A new study demonstrates for the first time that an overgrowth of imbalanced bacteria and/or a “leaky gut” are associated with the severity of a build up of undesirable fat in the liver – a key marker of disease risk and progression into the metabolic syndrome.

Friendly Flora Boosts Immunity

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have shown that disruption of the friendly flora in your digestive tract can cause adverse changes to your immune system in other areas of your body. The researchers focus on how repeat use of antibiotics weakens your overall immune system and makes you much more at risk for new infections.

Friendly Flora Help Train Your Immune System

The balance of friendly flora (acidophilus) residing in your digestive tract has a profound effect on your health. A new study points out that one of the key roles of these friendly flora is to train your immune system to be competent, and not hyper-react.

Breast Feeding Can Prevent Celiac Disease

One of the most important tasks for any newborn baby is to develop digestive competence, which involves having a harmonious relationship between the trillions of foreign organisms that will inhabit their digestive tract and the cells that form their body. A new study proves that breast feeding, as compared to bottle feeding, is far superior in facilitating proper development of the bacterial types in the digestive tract. In fact, the failure to breastfeed can lead to imbalanced bacterial populations that encourage highly inflammatory digestive problems and consequent development of Celiac disease.
