In 2012, The Human Microbiome Project published the results of a ground-breaking study, and scientists began to explore how microorganisms living in and with the human body affect health and well-being and are associated with many diseases. Discover the complicated relationship bacteria and viruses have with inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, behavioral disorders, obesity, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and autoimmunity. Also discover how diet changes the microbiome and how human breast milk evolved to facilitate certain types of bacteria that affect the infant's growth.
