So we're basically... We're walking
Yeah, there's more bacteria than there are us.
I mean, it's a bit of a gobsmacking thought.
And, you know, obviously people want... I mean, the bugs will keep them there.
One of the big issues of the day...
are antibiotics, which we know are becoming a serious health issue now.
The World Health Organization and others say very seriously that antibiotic resistance, antimicrobial resistance as they call it, is the biggest threat we have.
Soon going into a hospital and getting an operation will be a real risk because hospital-borne infections are increasingly resistant to antibiotics.
You know, we're piling them in to us, but also to the animals that we grow.
A lot of them are full of antibiotics.
And that means that the diversity of the microbiome is being reduced.
We're losing, we call that biodiversity.
There's a biodiversity issue in here.
But even with the diminished flora that we have, they still pretty much run the show.
And a lot of the fruits and vegetables, particularly the ones with colours in them,
actually feed those guys down there and help them to perform better and one good reason to as we say eat the rainbow just get those colors in but yes i mean as you can see if i start talking about the gut i'm not going to stop for the next month
yeah
They have different range depending on the antibiotic, but yes, they will be cutting a sway through your gut flora for sure, some more than others.
I mean, the point about antibiotics, and we did a big project with this, ironically, just before COVID, when I was working with Pukka, the herb tea people, we put a campaign together to find natural approaches to managing antibiotics or reduce the use of them.
Antibiotics are useless for anything viral.
