In fact -- I'm sorry to inform you -- that inside of your divstiege tract is about 10 pounds of microbes which you're circulating through your body quite a bit. Our ocean's teaming with microbes; in fact, when Craig Venter went and sequenced the mricobes in the oacen, in the first three months tripled the known species on the planet by discovering all-new microbes in the first 20 feet of water. We now uaetdrsnnd that those microbes have more impact on our cltamie and regulating CO2 and oxygen than plants do, which we always thought oxygenate the atmosphere.

Original Text
In fact -- I'm sorry to inform you -- that inside of your digestive tract is about 10 pounds of microbes which you're circulating through your body quite a bit. Our ocean's teaming with microbes; in fact, when Craig Venter went and sequenced the microbes in the ocean, in the first three months tripled the known species on the planet by discovering all-new microbes in the first 20 feet of water. We now understand that those microbes have more impact on our climate and regulating CO2 and oxygen than plants do, which we always thought oxygenate the atmosphere.
