Given what we’ve covered so far about fats and grains, you’d be justified in feeling this way. Misinformation is everywhere, fear is used to sell ideas, and buzzwords and fluff are often used to fill in the gaps of what is actually possible.

The gut, however, lives up to all the hype!

You contain more cells in your body which aren’t ‘you’ than ones which are. Human cells are outnumbered by a third. Your gut hosts trillions of microbes that make up the human microbiome. Your brain weighs a little more than a kilogram, which is about the same as the weight of microbes in your gut. That includes up to 1,000 species of different bacteria – although it’s not only bacteria. The human microbiome is composed of communities of bacteria, viruses and fungi that have a greater complexity than the human genome itself. In fact, the Human Microbiome Project, found that your microbiome has 3.3 million unique protein-encoding genes as compared with the entire human genome, which has around 23,000 genes.
