The Microbiome and the Immune System

70 % of the immune system is in the intestines, listening for the chemical signals coming from our food. Microbes actually control the activity of theimmune system. And so when our microbes are either of composition, or fed the wrong diet, they send the wrong chemical signals to our imune system and our immune system becomes chronically inflamed. That leads to obesity and diabedes and autonune diseases like reumater athritis, and inclos in spondilitus.
