Vassilios Fanos - Pioneering Bacteria Pillars of Health. Pregnancy, Birth, Breastfeeding and Growth Between Microbiomics and Meta

• We have always underestimated our microbiota, that is, the microorganisms that live in us and on us (bacteria, viruses, fungi...). We don't know them enough or we don't know them at all...
• Everything that happens in the early stages of life (the fetal period, birth, breastfeeding and the first stages of growth) influences the entire future life of the individual, leading to good or bad health.
• The bacteria in the mother and breast milk are very important, as are the pioneer bacteria in the newborn, that is, those that colonize it first.
• When we talk about a birth we think of the mother giving birth to her newborn, a film with two protagonists, and we do not take into account that there are 300 trillion extras: the bacteria, more or less important, who contribute together to the event not exactly as spectators.
• Knowing the relationships between intestinal bacteria, deciphering the secret language of bacteria, will allow us to understand how many diseases are determined.
