Dark Matter

The New Science of the Microbiome

Brought to you by Penguin.

An urgent investigation into the brave new world of the microbiome and how it shapes our lives and health.

The microbiome is the missing link in modern medicine: a vast genetic universe of bacteria, yeasts, viruses and parasites that live inside us, influencing every aspect of our health, even the way we think and feel.

In this mindblowing book, scientist and surgeon James Kinross explains how the organisms that live within us have helped us evolve, shaped our biology and defined the success of our species. But just as we have discovered this delicate and complex ecosystem within us, it is being irrevocably destroyed through the globalisation of our diets and lifestyles, our addiction to antibiotics, and the destruction of our environment.

With dazzling science and fascinating stories spanning from the dawn of humankind to the current race to develop personalised healthcare, and practical advice on how to nurture your microbiome through your diet and lifestyle, this pioneering book will change the way you think about human health forever.

I recommend this book to you. It holds revolutionary ideas about our world in general and the human body in particular. I wish such knowledge were taught in schools. Thank you for the courage to advocate for the right solutions of our days.
