Up Close
Human health depends on the presence of some bacteria, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, in the digestive tract and the vaginal mucous membranes.
There are at least 400 kinds of microorganisms found in the gastrointestinal tract and a healthy balance of the bacteria is essential to the proper functioning of all systems of the body, especially the immune system. This amounts to about three pounds of bacteria in the healthy human intestine. They are integral ingredients to improving nutrition and protecting against disease.
In fact, the word "probiotic" which is used to refer to these friendly bacteria, comes from two Greek words meaning "favoring life."
Maintaining and promoting the growth of helpful bacteria, while destroying the harmful strains, is vital to health. If harmful bacteria grow in too great a proportion, serious consequences can arise.
A number of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, diabetes, meningitis, thyroid disease and bowel cancer are thought to result from significantly altered bowel flora.
