The Probiotics Revolution The Definitive

If the thought of bacteria conjures images of germs that should be avoided at all costs, think again! Some bacteria, called probiotics, are not only beneficial to your health, they're essential. Now an internationally recognized scientist at a top U.S. medical school-one of the leading researchers in the field-sheds light on the extraordinary benefits of these natural health superstars.

Gary B. Huffnagle, Ph.D., is Professor of Internal Medicine, Microbiology, and Immunology, University of Michigan Medical Center. His research on probiotics has appeared in leading scientific journals and has been featured in Newsweek, Forbes, and on BBC News.

Sarah Wernick is the coauthor of several bestselling health books, including Strong Women Stay Young.
