80% of Immune System in GI tract

Some more facts from Mercola:

  • 500 species of bacteria live inside you.
  • About one hundred trillion bacteria live inside you — more than TEN TIMES the number of cells you have in your entire body.
  • The weight of these bacteria constitutes about two to three pounds.
  • Some of these bacteria are referred to as "good" and some as "bad". The ideal balance between them is 85% good and 15% bad.
