I've often thought that a lot of common "digestive" issues like diarrhea, 
constipation, ulcers, propensity for weight gain (or loss), is heavily 
influenced by gut flora. It's exciting to see research like this.  If we can 
learn to "engineer" the bacteria in our bodies for maximum benefit I think it 
could really improve lives.
