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.

Lacking Friendly Flora Linked to Obesity

Heartburn, H. Pylori, & Cancer – a Whole New View

Walk into any doctor’s office today (or for the next ten years), tell them you have H. Pylori, and they will pull out their toxic cannons and fire away – certain they are saving you from your symptoms as well as future cancer. A significant body of new science shows that this view is not only wrong, but that such treatments are likely to increase the cause of esophageal cancer, the very problem they are supposed to be stopping! That's right, esophageal cancer rates in the U.S. are skyrocketing, due to the treatments that are supposed to be preventing them!

Butyric Acid Improves Fat-Burning Metabolism

Feeding mice butyric acid improved their ability to burn fat on a high fat diet. The butyric acid improved their muscle function, health of brown adipose tissue, and various gene signals involved with fatty acid metabolism. Butyric acid also prevented insulin resistance from happening in these over-fed mice.

Friendly Flora Inhibits Bilirubin-Induced Digestive Damage

Your body recycles all of its red blood cells over a six week period. During this process heme is released from your red blood cells in your spleen and converted to unconjugated bilirubin. For a variety of reasons (which I will explain shortly) a person can wind up with too much of this compound in their digestive tract, which promotes highly inflammatory damage to the lining of your digestive tract. This has become known as the “leaky gut,” wherein toxic compounds in your digestive tract leak back into your circulation and cause multiple health problems. In a new study a strain of friendly flora, called Lactobacillus plantarum, was shown to offset the digestive damage of unconjugated bilirubin.
