Finally! Now maybe we'll see some research into how to manipulate the populations of gut bacteria. As it stands, they know more about how to manipulate chicken gut bacteria populations than they do about human gut bacteria.

Good one, Keeper! Thanks for posting this, Reef08! Now, if someone will just tell our GI team...... Oh...and is there any money in this for the drug companies?
