And this might be associated with some of the differences in health associated with Cesarean birth, such as more asthma, more allergies, even more obesity, all of which have been linked to microbes now, and when you think about it, until recently, every surviving mammal had been delivered by the birth canal, and so the lack of those protective microbes that we've co-evolved with might be really important for a lot of these different conditions that we now know involve the microbiome.
Corelând asta cu bolile asociate naşterii prin cezariană: astm, alergii și obezitate mai frecvente, – care toate-s legate de microbi – mai ales că, până recent, fiecare mamifer supravieţuitor, a fost născut prin vagin, deducem că absenţa microbilor protectori cu care am co-evoluat ar putea fi crucială pentru că multe din aceste afecțiuni acum ştim că au legătură cu microbiomul.
