Episode 12: Poop Starter Culture for the Gut

This week we look at the fascinating world of the gut and mouth microbiota, how bacteria may affect health and disease, the similarities between fecal transplants and yogurt starter cultures, and how switching from hunter-gatherers to farmers altered dental hygiene.

This week’s conversation is an exciting and lively discussion about bacteria, stool samples and food. Yum!
