This book is illuminating to what's going on in your gut. It also talks about microbiology at a basic level so that one can understand how the cells in your body operate to keep you healthy. The authors is at U of M where they are doing alot of research on probiotics.

I really liked this book. The way that he explains everything is so straight forward. It was also exciting because he is on the front lines of all the research that is being done- I really enjoyed reading about the future of what could be done with probiotics.
