    Admittedly a bit OT, but I found it interesting from the standpoint of taking probiotics to replace the healthy bacteria.  It strikes me that we might not know a whole lot about exactly what “healthy” means in the context.  Does taking a probiotic that has a handful of strains really get the job done?

    Todd,

    Thanks for the article. It's a very good read. I am totally sold by the assumptions.

    Todd,

    I tried to get to the article that you posted about intestinal bacteria and weight gain, but it said that it is no longer available. Can you post it any other way, so I can read it? I am really intrested in knowing what it said.

    Thanks

    Hi Judy, 

    It looks like it is still available at this link:

    I think cutting and pasting whole articles is a no-no here.  I'll send you the text in a private message and see if that gets me in any trouble.
