THEY HAD TONS AND TONS OF BACTERIA. AND THE PRIME MORGAN IS THE LARGE INTESTINE. THAT ARE 100 TRILLION MICROORGANISMS THAT LIVE IN THE LARGE INTESTINE. WE THINK ABOUT 500,000 DIFFERENT SPECIES MAJORITY OF THEM HAVE NOT BEEN EVEN IDENTIFIED AND WE CANNOT GROW THEM IN A LAB. YOU COULD THEM FROM NATURE. AND THE REASON MEANS TO KEEP THE MICROBIOME HAVE THE AND THE REASON MEANS TO AVOID THE MICROBIOME FROM GETTING DISRUPTED, LOSING ITS DIVERSITY. THE CUT MICROBIOME IS A LOT OF FUNCTIONS.

BUT SOMETHING THAT WE ARE EXPOSED TO AND WE JUST TAKE IT AS THIS IS NORMAL. THIS IS LIFE. AND I BELIEVE THE BIGGEST ENVIRONMENT LEADER THAT WE HAVE IT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, HIS HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP AND ADDED SUGARS. I CLASSIFY THAT AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL DANGER. IT SAID IT AROUND US. YOU OPEN THE PACKET. YOU OPEN THE BOX. YOU OPEN A CAN. YOU CANNOT STAY AWAY FROM THAT. THE SECOND ENROLLMENT OF THINGS IS ADDED SODIUM OR EXTRA SALT. THAT'S IN OUR DIETS. THAT'S A MOMENT LATER THAT WE OUGHT TO STAND UP AND EVEN WITHOUT EVEN THINKING IT'S A PROBLEM. AND WE NEED TO LOOK FOR THOSE IN TO LOOK AT FOOD LABELS.
