Allergies, obesity, asthma, intestinal disorders, auto-immune diseases, and diabetes are all on the rise, with some even doubling every ten years.
New research points to changes in the complex ecosystem of microbes that live on and inside every one of us – our microbiota – as a major cause. But how could microorganisms that live in your gut affect the odds you’ll develop asthma, a disease of the lungs – or diabetes, a metabolic disorder?
Let Them Eat Dirt: The Hunt for our Kids’ Missing Microbes is a documentary film that connects with young families, researchers, and doctors to sleuth out what’s harming our microbiome and learn what we can do to reverse this dangerous trend. Based on the book and work of microbiologists Dr. B. Brett Finlay & Dr. Marie-Claire Arrieta & other leading microbiome experts.
This Microbial Movies YouTube channel contains some short videos that are part of this feature film. You can learn more at: letthemeatdirt.com/
