As we know, antibiotics are slowly losing their effectiveness, and researchers are embracing the idea that the body’s natural microbial flora aren’t just an incidental fact of our biology, but are crucial components of our health.

Science writer Jessica Snyder Sachs, summarizes this view in four words in the title of her ground-breaking new book: “Good Germs, Bad Germs.” According to Sachs, “our microbes do us the favor of synthesizing vitamins right in our guts; they regulate our immune systems and even our serotonin levels: germs, it seems, can make us happy. They influence how we digest our food, how much we eat and even what we crave.”
