Lactobacillus, which is normal inhabitant of the GI tract, contributes to health by possible biofilm and immune modulation. LÄS MER

Sammanfattning : Exposure to soluble proteins via the gut gives rise to systemic tolerance, a phenomenon called oral tolerance. Failure of oral tolerance results in allergy, a disease that has increased during the last decades in Western industrialized countries. The cause of this rapid increase is unknown. LÄS MER
