Dark Matter: The New Science of the Microbiome

Product Information

If your basic unit of value is human flourishing and betterment, then having these countries employ more fossil fuels to power their escape from entropy is the best way to support that goal. We have to come together and reject farming practices and healthcare policies that ultimately lead to the destruction of our human microbiome.

Biography: Dr James Kinross is a senior lecturer in colorectal surgery and consultant surgeon at Imperial College London and a visiting professor at the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland.He is also a practicing colorectal surgeon in the NHS with a clinical interest in the prevention and treatment of colon cancer. As a result, they have a much more diverse and resilient population of gut micro-organisms than we do. I will admit that I occasionally found it a little hard to understand, which is why I only read it in small amounts at a time.

Of course I was aware of some work on the gut microbiome and the ‘hygiene hypothesis’ linking the epidemic of allergic and other diseases to decreasing contact with microorganisms and their products. Yet it is only now, as we are beginning to discover the microbiome's enormous potential, that we are realising it is in grave danger, being irrevocably destroyed through the globalisation of our diets, the war on bugs and the industrialised world. Kinross, a world-leading microbiome scientist and surgeon, offers a wealth of relevant insights drawn from his personal experience and over two decades in the field.I’d rather have it as a physical book than the e-book I got as I think it is a book worth checking again in the future. The book makes a compelling case for why this subject should be taught in schools, given its far-reaching implications for public health. Highly recommend this to anyone fascinated with the human body, gut health or generally wants to read about something fascinating.
