Here's a neat little study. It looks at how the early environment can affect gut bacteria. Researchers either raised pigs indoors or outdoors. The pigs that were raised indoors had reduced lactobacillus (good bacteria) in the gut, and more pathogenic bacteria. The pigs raised outdoors had high levels of good bacteria and stronger immune systems.
This is another good reason to spend time outdoors!
