Proof Positive: The Western Diet Blows (out good bacteria)

This study compares the diets and amount of healthy gut bacteria in children from Burkina Faso in Africa against Italian children eating a Western diet. Needless to say, the African children had a lot more of the good bacteria and a lot less of the bad bacteria. They were also leaner and suffered less from irritable bowel syndrome.

Anyone up for a veggie stir fry?
